Help Needed Regarding Tattooed Eyebrows?

I don't know of anyone in particular in your area. I would consult with 3-4 people who do alot of permanent makeup. Look at photos and make sure that the photos are of their work and not a brochure printed by another company. If you don't feel comfortable with any person, keep looking. You'll eventually find someone with good results who will feel that they can improve on your present permanent makeup. I hope this information is helpful.

Dear Deb,
You have several different aspects which need to be addressed.Both color and shape are involved.
Fortunately, the color is relatively washed out and this makes for a less time consuming correction. If you were having a correction done in my clinic, I would determine-
1. The shape you do want, which of the two eyebrows is the desired shape?
2. Adjust the other brow to bring it in line with the good brow.
How? Various techniques can be used from selecting a permanent cosmetic tech with the expertise to use a soften technique to gradually lighten the unwanted color, or you can choose to locate cosmetic laser specialist in your state who has proven results in lightening eyebrows with the laser. Such techniques do exist, but not many are good at it. Make sure they can show you pictures that show color removed and no scarring. I have found one such practice in the mid-atlantic area.. Once the unwanted color is minimized by your chosen method, both eyebrows can be redrawn symmetrically and recolored in a sand or blondish shade to give you the eyebrows you wanted. It takes time, but I have done many corrections over the years. Look for professionals with expereince in these techniques. It may require some travel on your part, and multiple treatments. Do not allow anyone to put more color in the brows, or try to "cover" them witha skin tone, it looks like someone has already done this. Best wishes.

Hi pcexperienced, I have just had my eyebrows done, they are really dark but I feel they will lighten sufficiently to be ok, the shape is fine. However after the technician was finished I noted that she had one eyebrow a little too full on the underside, she 'fixed' this with a skin toned/coloured dye...my question, will this fade the same as the dark colour?...reading your posts it sounds like Ishe shouldn't have used the skin toned dye... is it made of some other chemical?, am I stuck with this even after the brows fade?..the skin tone is a tad lighter than my skin and to me it is noticeable..help?!
