[QUOTE]My stepmom has tattooed eyeliner.  It's kinda creepy.  It's a weird bluish-gray color, though I'm not sure if she got it that way, or if it's faded over time.

Depending on how long ago she had it done, this could be fading. Some of the older black tattoo inks fade to a bluish gray over time. Think of the older guys with the military tattoos. Most of them are that dolor. My black from about 6 yrs ago already has a spot of greying in it.

Huh. I wish some of the black on mine from 9 years ago was fading.

My cousin's wife had this done a few years ago, with the eyeliner.  She says it makes her feel better about herself because now she always has "some" makeup on (apparently this is the equivalent of being beautiful - wearing makeup).  Although I have tattoos, I'm not letting anyone come near my eyes with needles.  No thanks, man.

Wow, so my dad's blue tattoo was probably black back in 1960? I never thought about that.

I would not do permanent makeup. I like to avoid anything that can't be undone somehow.
