Permanent makeup, such as kohl, if it is merely a color that does not prevent water from reaching the skin, then ablution is valid with it. However, if it has a physical mass or a thick layer, it must be removed for water to reach the limb. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen mentioned that what is like ink and similar colors does not prevent [water from reaching the skin], whereas what has a physical mass or a thick layer must be removed during ablution.
