Tattooed makeup has come a long way. Gone are the days of harlequin eyebrows and overdraw, one-dimensional liner. Today's tattoos look pretty and natural -- and tattooed brows are especially realistic.

The process of brow tattooing -- which is now often called microblading -- is a meticulous art that doesn't puncture the skin as deeply as a traditional tattoo. "Instead of using a machine, I use a more precise hand held tool," explains Piret Aava, better known as The Eyebrow Doctor. And she uses the microblading tool to create thin lines that look like real eyebrow hairs. The end result is unbelievably natural.

You'll want to have the treatment done by someone like Piret, because she's a true brow artist. She'll consider the shape of your face and brows as well as your skin tone before microblading. Other than that, there aren't many reasons anyone who fills in their brows shouldn't have them tattooed. Read on to find out if eyebrow tattoos are right for you.
