In short: Eyeliner tattoo ranges from an invisible lash-line enhancement (pigment tucked between the lashes to make them look denser) through a soft tightline, a defined line, and finally a winged look. Most clients start subtle — you can always add more, but a natural lash-line enhancement suits almost everyone and photographs beautifully.
Lash-line enhancement (the most natural)
The gentlest option: fine pigment placed between the lashes, so it doesn't read as "eyeliner" at all — just thicker, darker, more defined lashes. Perfect if you want to look brighter-eyed and awake without anyone knowing you've had anything done.
Soft tightline
A small step up — a slightly fuller line hugging the lash line, still soft and natural, giving a touch more definition than lash enhancement alone. A popular middle ground.
Defined line
A visible, clean line along the upper lash line, like a neatly applied everyday liner that never smudges or fades through the day. Great for anyone who wears liner daily and wants to skip the routine.
Winged / tail
A defined line with a subtle flick at the outer corner. The wing is designed to suit your eye shape — Lorraine maps it so it lifts and flatters rather than dragging the eye down. Best kept tasteful, since it's semi-permanent.
How to choose
The right style depends on your eye shape, how much makeup you usually wear, and the look you're after. A good rule: start softer than you think — you can always build up at a follow-up, but it's harder to soften a bold line. At your complimentary consultation Lorraine will map the shape on your eye and show you the effect before any pigment goes in.
