Hey all,
So I was talking to a customer in work who comes to me regularly, when he let off a huge yawn (it was pretty early in the day), thats when I noticed he had a tattoo on his eyelid. I asked him how long he had it for and he said 3 years, I was amazed that I had never noticed it before! I’ve always been interested in getting something small on my eyelid like a star or moon crescent, but have been worried about it being too noticeable.
After seeing this guys and knowing him for roughly a year, I’m just wondering is it possible to get something that wouldn’t be noticeable to others unless you were asleep or pulled your eyelid down to show them?
Everything I find on the internet brings up huge tats that cover the entire eyelid, something I’m not after.
Thanks in advance!
I’d want people to see it, but my job frowns upon visible tattoos.
Haha yeah I know a few people who talk like that.
Well it really depends like all tattoos the smaller you go the more chance you have it of becoming a blob in later life.
As for noticiability most ppl will not conciously register it unless you show them and will just dismiss it as a mark if at all.
Take Care

Yeah that’s true, plus it’s on your face. I just think its cool how you can have a tattoo on your face and its hiding away up there.
i think if theres any chance of it affecting your job you shouldnt get it, but thats just a personal point of view – its not like you will ever see it yourself, that and nobody else will see it. that and the fact that people might think you have a mark on your eyelid or something :p – you can tell which way im swaying hehe

Before you have eyelids tattooed you do need to have an initial consultation with the professional applying the procedure. If you have a prolapsed mitral heart valve you may need to take antibiotics before hand to prevent a bacterial infection in your heart. You may also be asked to eliminate the use of aspirin and nicotine before the operation to minimize the chance of swelling or bleeding.
The only real risk of the surgery is an allergic reaction to the pigments. You should know that such a risk is much higher when it comes to eyelid tattooing than it is for any other tattooing procedure. This is because some people’s eyes may not be able to tolerate the pigments.
As this tattooing procedure is in such close proximity to the eye itself, there is also a risk of eye infection. It is very important to follow your doctor’s post operative care instructions which will advise you not to rub, scratch or pick at the area in any way. In some people, the procedure may also cause excessive tearing of the eyes for a couple of days.
