This is the second time I've had my eyeliner tattooed. I went somewhere else for the first time. It was very painful and it took two full weeks to recover. The second time I went to Jane the the overall experience was MUCH BETTER. It was far less painful and the recovery time was less than a week. The swelling went down after only two days. Her after-care instructions were specific and very helpful. I'm very happy with my eyes.
