What can I do to fade my permanent makeup eyebrow tattoo?

I find a lot of these comments really strange, when I looked at permanent makeup I knew I may need a colour boost at 12 months or maybe 18 months or more. I see people moaning that its gone grey or a different colour after some time, and it must be something that the artist has done wrong? No I go a massive sheet with mine, it told me everything, and it said this! Its possible in some cases for the colours to leave the skin first, so if you had brown eyebrows( brown is made from Yellow & Red, which gives orange than you mix a little blue) So its possible some of the colours leave the skin before the others, its normal, I would not blame my artist, as I know when this does happen, it may (as I said be 12 or 18 months) I will need a colour boost, they explain its good to fade down so changes to shapes and other things can be adjusted. My lady said to me that many people to not understand the colour theory, and they have a colour change after 12 or so months, go to another artists who says incorrect information (like the person did them wrong) and charge them for a solution. I still have a full print out from when mine were done, it explains everything in full detail. I did 2 years of research before I went ahead, I went with Heidi Worman (in the UK) she is the best, none told me all this they just wanted my money, Heidi has clients from around the world, you can see why.

I have finally figured out what to do about my eyebrows that have turned gray. After researching available tattoo removal methods for over a year, I have come to the conclusion that they are all too risky. I scar easily, am fair skinned, and I don't want to trade one deformity for another. My eyebrows have been on for about 8 years, and I understand the longer they are there, the harder to remove. I also don't want to have them redone. This is risky because they may end up too dark, mis-shapen, and then there is one more coat of tattooing. So, I began to experiment with makeup. In an earlier comment, I mentioned I tried covering them with Primetime eyelld concealer and penciling over them with a pencil from Sally's. This was not totally satisfactory, as it wore off quickly during the day, and I was left with the gray, again, before the day was over. I finally went to Macy's for help. I ended up ordering about six different pencils from them. (They all can be returned for a refund.) Fortunately, one worked for me. It is Shiseido Natural Eyebrow Pencil. I ordered the Ash Blond color. It is not a soft pencil, so the color lasts all day. It completely covers the gray, and the fine point (when sharpened) draws nicely over the thin tails of my eyebrows. It doesn't go really dark, as many pencils do. It will also adhere to the skin above the brow where I need to make minor adjustments to the shape. It has a soft brush on the other end that I use on my natural eyebrow hairs to stroke them up into place. Then I finish with a coat of Bare Escentuals clear eyebrow gel. This keeps them in place all day. I must add that the night before, I rub a coating of Kelocoate scar gel (cheapest purchased online from Costco) on the brows. By morning it has soaked in, leaving the brows slightly tacky. This helps, I'm sure, for the eyebrow pencil to adher better. My eyebrows look pretty good, with color like they had when first done 8 years ago. I haven't tested them when swimming. But for now, this will work and it doesn't take too long as I follow the tattooed eyebrow. I hope others may find this information useful.

let's see what your permanent looks like, Stylishus. Do you have any permanent makeup? Photos please.

Let's repeat my answer that Dramarama is so excited about. that a pretty comprehensive answer, yet she is all stirred up about one thing LOL aboututfacebynancy 26 Mar 2013 "there are several options to correct and / or remove the existing pigment. ranging from lasers, to needling, to exfoliation methods. also camouflage using other pigments over the existing to either change or hide the color. you should be patient about finding the right person to work with you, and it is possible to get a result that you will be happy with.

I've started rubbing in Kelo-cote (that fades scars), on my eyebrows each night. Don't know if it will do any good. In the meantime, I have discovered that rubbing PrimeTime by Bare Minerals on my brows and then penciling over them is covering up the blue they've faded to, and seems to last all day; it doesn't rub off easily.

I am thinking about driving to a clinic that does the Tattoo Vanish technique and do a test area to see if it will work on my eyebrows.
