“I Hate my Eyebrow Tattoo, They Look Awful!”
Spent: $300 in Melbourne, Australia
My eyebrows were very light and not much hair at the end of the brows, but they are in nice shape. I decided to get eyebrow tattoo.
I had my first eyebrow tattoo done at the end of 2005. They were perfect and look so natural, they just look a little darker than my natural brows by 10., I was so impressed.
My eyebrows tattoo faded very quickly as it was light, therefore I booked in to have my eyebrow touch up about 8 days ago, it was horrible. I hate them so much--too dark and thick. I look like I put two big hooks on my eyebrows and I am angry all the time.
I am using facial scrub to rub my eyebrows everyday, and I just started to use acid peel, hoping that they will fade quicker. Does anyone know how to fade the eyebrow tattoo quicker. Any other options apart from laser treatment? I am so desperate, please help.

Getting it lazered out is drastic. You can have it reversed with Glycolic Acid. I am a permanent makeup tech. What I mean by having it reversed, is you can have it taken out the same way it was put in with Glycolic acid.
Before laser treatments you will want to know if the tattoo that was used on you had yellow or skin tone in it. If so you will need up to 10 laser treatments to remove the tattoo color. If your tattoo has yellow in the pigment then the first couple of treatments with the laser the tattoo will turn black. This will lighten with each laser treatment. It can be done it just takes longer. I had the same problem 12 years ago and after one laser treatment learned of the yellow in the pigment problem. Once I saw the first shot turn black (I have light red hair) I opted to leave and have used waterproof coverup and re-penciled in my brows. Now they are light enough that I am going to try another technician's hand at permantently convering up and re-applying permanent eyebrows. Good luck.
