Microblading eyebrows

HI I would like to know if either microblading and/or ephemeral tattos are allowed halachically since they are both not permanent. Ephermal tattos can be pictures so I wasn’t sure if that counts as writing but for microblading the intention is not writing but simulating hair in eyebrows.

If the property is a rented one, there is grave doubt and many authorities will not permit the use of it. If the property has been purchased and is totally under ownership of the synagogue, some authorities lean towards forbidding its use, others lean towards permitting it. If the previous structure has been destroyed and a new one built, it is permissible without doubt to use it. At the very least, it should be very obvious to anyone looking at it that it has no connection whatsoever to its former use.
