Does anyone else find permanent makeup desperate? Tattooing make up on your face?

I personally don't like the idea myself because styles and types of makeup change over the years and if a woman has it permanently tattooed on her face, it will show very quickly approximately when she had it done. Outdated styles of makeup can really show a woman's age. Does anybody really want to continue walking around with overpainted lips (popular in the 1940s), black arched eyebrows (popular in the 1950s) heavy black eye makeup (popular in the 1960s) or outlined lips (popular in the 1990s)?Does anyone else find permanent makeup desperate? Tattooing make up on your face?
It's beyond desperate, its insane vanity. There was a news story a couple of years ago when a woman went to an UNLICENSED (if there even is such a thing as a licensed one) make-up salon. The 'employee' tattooed two new giant and thick PERMANENT 'eyebrows' on her TWO INCHES ABOVE her natural eyebrows (shaved off before she went, I think) and when her natural ones grew in she looked like a bad alien from Twilight Zone with FOUR eyebrows. It was hideous and the woman didn't know what to do! It was HORRIBLE. But that's what you get for being lazy and not wanting to put make-up on and take it off your face. Just the idea of tattooing make-up on is scary. Not only that but make-up styles change and go back and forth between decades (1960s and NOW) and much of the time make-up styles go back to natural looking. Ai yi yi!Does anyone else find permanent makeup desperate? Tattooing make up on your face?
Why would it be desperate? It's just taking a cosmetic task that, presumably, the person does daily or close to daily, and makes it so it doesn't have to be maintained or redone any more.





Do you find laser-eye surgery (as opposed to putting contacts in every day) 'desperate?'
Well it sure saves a lot of time cause you don't have to bother with putting on make up everyday. But what if you changed your mind and wanted a different look? Then you're stuck with it. Personally I'd never do it. I guess most ppl would do it to save a lot of time like some ppl have surgery to remove hair so they dont have to shave anymore.
That's weird. Tattoos are extremely unattractive when your skin gets wrinkly. Concealer, eyeliner, and lipstick is all the makeup anyone needs, if any at all.
No more so than a tattoo or any other permanent marking with significance or value to the person choosing it.
No odder than makeup, or tattooing. If it saves time and makes the wearer feel beautiful, then it doesn't bother me.
Desperate? no. Weird looking? Yeah.
Is it desperate to wear it too? Or because it washes off, that's well within the realm of okcool? =/
My wife has it and she's a whole lot nicer to wake up next too.
yuck
