How long does it take to heal after eyeliner tattoo?

The healing process typically takes about 3-6 weeks and is relatively straightforward.

6 Stages of Eyeliner Healing

What you can expect during the eyeliner tattoo healing process.

1. Immediate post-treatment

Following the eyeliner tattoo procedure, your eyelids may appear swollen, red, or tender. The tattooed area may also feel slightly itchy or uncomfortable.

• • What to do: To alleviate discomfort, apply an icepack wrapped in a soft cloth.

2. First Few Days

The tattooed area will begin to scab and flake off.

1. • What’s important: Avoid picking at the scabs, as this can disrupt the healing process and impact the final result.
   • What to do: Follow any provided ointments or aftercare products as instructed by your tattoo artist or technician.

3. First Week

The scabs will continue to gradually peel off, and the color may appear slightly faded or patchy. The eyelids may still feel sensitive and swollen, and the color may go through a “disappearing stage,” making it look unfinished.

• • What to do: Don’t worry; the “disappearing stage” is normal.

4. Second Week

By this point, the scabs should have completely fallen off, and the color will start to appear more vibrant. However, it’s common for the color to still look lighter than the final result due to the healing process.

1. • What to do: Continue to follow aftercare procedures as instructed by your artist.

5. Third and Fourth Weeks

The color will continue to settle and intensify as the healing progresses. Some minor fading and color loss are normal during this time.

6. Final Result

At the end of the fourth week, the eyeliner tattoo healing process should be mostly complete, and the true color of the eyeliner tattoo will be apparent. Keep in mind that the final result can vary depending on factors such as your skin type, aftercare routine, and the skill of the tattoo artist.
