I heard of a case where a woman got an eyeliner tattoo and it started to swell up like crazy right after. She looked like she had been in a fight. Turns out she was allergic to something in the ink.
One horror story is getting an eyeliner tattoo and it turns out uneven. It can make your eyes look lopsided and completely ruin your desired look. Another is when the color fades really quickly, like within a few weeks, so you end up with a patchy, half - there eyeliner. And some people have allergic reactions to the ink used, resulting in swelling, redness and pain around the eyes.
There are cases where the permanent eyeliner fades in a really ugly way. For example, instead of fading evenly, parts of it disappear leaving blotchy areas. This happened to a lady I know. She thought it would be a convenient way to always have her eyeliner on, but instead, she ended up with a mess on her eyelids that was difficult to fix without having the whole procedure redone.
Sure. I once knew someone whose permanent eyeliner turned blue over time. It was supposed to be black, but the pigments changed color. It made her look really odd and she was very disappointed as she had spent a lot of money on it. She was constantly asked if she had some kind of strange makeup choice when in fact it was the failed permanent eyeliner.
One horror story is when a customer asked for a small, simple flower tattoo on their wrist. But the tattoo artist was inexperienced. The lines were all wobbly and the flower looked more like a blob. The customer was really disappointed as it was supposed to be a meaningful and beautiful tattoo.
There was a case where a client didn't follow the after - care instructions properly. They went swimming right after getting a new tattoo. As a result, the tattoo got infected, and the client blamed the artist for it. But in reality, it was the client's own negligence. This kind of situation can be really frustrating for tattoo artists as their reputation is at stake.
One horror story could be a client who went to a so - called 'tattoo fixer' to cover up an old tattoo. But instead of making it better, the fixer made the new tattoo look even worse, with the lines all crooked and the colors bleeding into each other.
One horror story is when the shape of the eyebrow tattoo was completely wrong. It was supposed to be a natural arch but ended up looking like two straight lines. It made the person look very odd and they had to go through a lot of pain and expense to get it removed and redone.
A woman got a beautiful - looking henna tattoo on her back. However, she unknowingly used a henna product that had been contaminated. She soon developed a rash all over her back. It spread rapidly and was extremely itchy. She was so embarrassed to show her back and it took weeks for the rash to completely disappear even with medical treatment.
One common element is bad tattoo artists. For example, if they are inexperienced, they might make mistakes like using the wrong ink or not sterilizing their equipment properly, which can lead to all sorts of problems.
