Biggest Mistake Ever - Bristol, England

You cover them expertly ... they look quite good... How does it look right after laser treatment and how long does it take for it to heal?

Hiya, did you get any swelling with the laser removal? I had a terrible experience when someone tried to laser my tattooed eyebrows, I had swelling which throughout the rest of the day moved down my face, the next day I woke with really swollen eyes I looked horrendous! I'm keen to remove mine but I am worried this might happen again.

Hope yours shift faster than mine. I've had 8 laser sessions... and they're still there :(

Definitely keep us updated, please!!!

Hey! I've just had my first session of removal from a technician trained by Lorena. Only 4 days since treatment. But I'm hopeful too. Completely understand what you're going through. X

@georgia1234 did you do a patch test before 1st removal?
I did 3 patch tests and was supposed to have 1st removal today but the patch test results showed darkening of ink (paradoxical) so I wasn't able the Dr. didnt do the removal for me. He test patches with medlite C6. Such a disappointment. I had brunette ink.

Can you tell you details and how Lorena decided was ok to do removal?!

I didn't have a patch test because I had black ink and she said it was unlikely that there was any iron oxide in there and it will be easy to remove, she is definitely one of the best in the country.. She specialises in removing semi permanent makeup so she definitely knows what she's doing. Type in Lorena oberg on Google, she also has Instagram too! I definitely would recommend her! She said she can remove 100% of my tattoo.

I'm sure someone would be able to take it off?Lorena is amazing so maybe you could go to her.. It obviously depends on where you live

Hi, really please for you that you are getting somewhere, I have followed your story. I was wondering what the significance of having iron oxide makes? I was wondering if you had to 'hide' after the treatment with the blistering and scabbing? Ive been having saline solution removal which is working but looks awful immediately afterwards so I have to take time off of work so I can hide for a few days. Arrrh.

I bought a tattoo removal system from Lorena Oberg about 5 months ago. I have recently had a problem with my machine and Lorena is unable to repair. I have also seen the same machine for thousands less. I am really not happy and have many clients waiting for this to be repaired. I think I was misled quite a bit regarding the capability of this machine. I am kicking myself for not researching further. If something is not done soon I will take this further. Avoid!!!!

do not have them laser removed, they can turn black. Go for saline removal it is cheaper, safer and out in one or two treatments.

Good luck! Please use someone very experienced at this. I wonder for your eyebrows will fall out temporarily or permanently? With scar formation the follicle can be damaged. I am so sorry this has happened to you. Once burned by a plastic surgeon it is very difficult to ever trust one again. I don't.

I would leave them alone. The ink will fade. Let your natural brow grow into it. How much of your natural brow is there yet? Seriously! Can the laser kill your hair follicle for your eyebrows? I wouldn't count it out no matter what the professional says.
I work in a salon and wax many eyebrows. A few clients do have tattooed brows and while they aren't great, I always recommend not redoing them.... Ever!
And in your case, I would not remove. You are beautiful! Leave them alone!

I too had horrible Tattooed eyebrows, i hated them for 8 years then i heard of the new Picosure laser, it removed my eyebrows over time, it took me over a year to have the treatments once every 6-8 weeks, no scarring, and it faded them to a point when i was ready to get them re done.... it is long waiting for time to go by but it's really worth the wait.... The pico sure laser is the latest technology, don't use any other type, and a good tip is to get some numbing cream from ebay and apply to eyebrows one hour before your treatment, it really does help with the pain, you don't feel it as much, once your ready for new eyebrows, be sure to find a really experienced cosmetic tattooist, look up a lady on facebook called https://www.facebook.com/Cosmetic-Tattoo-Art-by-Sibina-134953106515540/timeline/ she is the best and i had mine re done with her....there must be experienced tattooist where you live, make sure to ask to see other work she has done before you go ahead....Good Luck

Dear Sweetheart. I had permanent tattooing done for makeup and at first it was a nightmare experience until it calmed down so I know a little how you feel. It made me realize, even though I fought it tooth and nail, that I was very blessed to have a functioning body in every other way. It made me have to look at 3rd world people, or even people around me in North America and still consider how I was much more blessed than almost all those around me. This temporal life is one thing -- it is our eternal life that is another thing. You know how upset you are and how this has taken over your life (and I can understand), however, can you imagine what it will be like if you make an eternal mistake that can never be fixed ... for eternity. Your creator is the one who made you and loves you. He's a real person and not a push over like most people think. Perhaps you were blessed to have this horrifying problem so you could think about your spiritual appearance before him for now and the decision that you need to make for eternity. With love.
