Abstract
Eyelash and eyebrow tattooing are commonly performed procedures that have a very low rate of reported complications. We describe one case of infraorbi tal pigmentation after eyelash tattooing and another of periorbital pigment ation after eyebrow tattooing. Although most complications related to eyela sh and eyebrow tattooing, including pigment fanning, have been reported by ophthalmologists, pigment fanning is also of concern to dermatologists.
