(I have learned this the hard way. The hard, pointy way!)
For anyone who's not done this, get the softest pencil you can find, overload the inner rim big-time and then blink a lot. It should transfer nicely and it's a lot faster and less fuss.
For a night out I like to use a liquid liner above the upper lashes and wet eyeshadow to line underneath the lower ones. The combo of the three is quite startling.

That would do wonders! I don't see how they could, from a health point of view. Permanent makeup is basically a tattoo. Tattoos scab over as they heal. A scab pressed against my eyeball? I don't think so. It would be like having grit in your eyes for a week. You could do a lot of damage that way.
As for tightlining, it looks exactly like the effect you get if you hold a mascara brush right to the base of the lashes and wiggle before "blinking through" to coat the length of the lash. That's got to be easier, surely?
