Is it permissible to draw eyebrows with colored, temporary tattoo ink that fades after a year or less to improve their appearance, thereby avoiding plucking them, knowing that tattooing is forbidden, and does the ruling on this type of tattoo differ?

It is forbidden to tattoo eyebrows with colored ink, due to the texts that prohibit it. However, coloring and dyeing eyebrows with a substance that lasts for a long time is permissible, as long as it is not thick enough to prevent water from reaching the skin during Wudu' or Ghusl.
