Korean Eyeliner Tattoo / Permanent Liner
What is Korean Eyeliner Tattoo?
Korean eyeliner tattoo (permanent eyeliner) is a semi-permanent makeup technique that deposits pigment along the lash line to create beautifully defined eyes. Unlike traditional eyeliner tattoos that can look harsh, Korean permanent eyeliner emphasizes natural enhancement with soft, precise application—the signature K-beauty approach.
The Technique
A specialized machine deposits pigment along the lash line with extreme precision. Korean artists can create everything from invisible enhancement to dramatic wings.
The Result
Perfectly defined eyes that look natural yet polished. Wake up with eyes that look bright and awake—no morning eyeliner routine needed.
The K-Beauty Difference
Korean artists focus on enhancing your natural eye shape rather than creating a one-size-fits-all look. Every liner is customized to your features.
The Longevity
Eyeliner tattoo lasts 3-5 years—longer than brows because eyelid skin retains pigment well. Touch-ups maintain the crisp, defined look.

Korean Eyeliner Tattoo FAQs
Korean eyeliner tattoo is a semi-permanent makeup technique that deposits pigment along the lash line to create defined, beautiful eyes. Korean artists offer various styles from subtle lash enhancement to classic lines to dramatic wings. All styles use the soft, precise K-beauty approach that enhances your natural eye shape.
Korean eyeliner tattoo typically lasts 3-5 years—longer than brow treatments because the eyelid skin retains pigment well. The color fades gradually over time. Touch-ups every 2-3 years can maintain the crisp, defined look indefinitely.
The eye area is sensitive, but Korean studios use specialized numbing drops and creams. Most clients rate pain at 3-4 out of 10. Many describe it as a light tickling sensation. Numbing is reapplied throughout the procedure.
Korean eyeliner tattoo costs $150-$350 USD at premium Seoul studios, compared to $300-$700+ in the USA. Lash line enhancement is on the lower end, dramatic wings on the higher end. Most packages include consultation, procedure, numbing, aftercare, and touch-up.
Korean studios offer: Lash Line Enhancement (invisible liner between lashes), Classic Line (thin, natural line), Puppy Liner (soft downward wing), Cat Eye (upward flick), and Dramatic Wing (bold, extended wing). Artists customize styles to enhance your unique eye shape.
Avoid contact lenses for 3-5 days after the procedure. The numbing drops and healing can make contacts uncomfortable. Bring glasses to your appointment. After initial healing, you can resume wearing contacts normally.
