How does your story end? Did you have any luck removing the tattoo and, if so, which method/s did you use?
I can see in the profile pic that they are really uneven & can understand your disappointment with this result. An eyebrow pencil & concealer may be able to make the differences in brows less noticeable?
My heart goes out to you & hope this issue was resolved with a happily ever after ending.
Hindsight is eyes in the bum. I've since learnt that pigments tattoo'd into the skin are unregulated, may contain metals, might be carcinogenic, may cause allergic reactions or sensitivity responses in recipients and are often chemically unstable.
How much do we really know about these pigments when used intradermally? Topically - sure we know they are harmless.
Some studies on tattooed mice have scientifically evidenced pigments in the mices lymph nodes, which to me suggests that and immune response is involved even when allergy does not occur.
Many cosmetic tattooists web pages suggest that ones metabolism is involved in the fading process of their "art".
Lipstick and foundations are not introduced as foreign bodies when applied topically but implanting them raises a whole lot of questions in relation to their safety - especially considering you are advocating increasing the dose with recommended touch ups, color corrections, etc.
It's not just you - it's the cosmetic tattoo industry.
Almost seems safer to have a regular tattoo parlor tattoo your make up! They would do it once, it would not need any color correction, it would fade far more gradually which would be less risky than having to break open the skin as often, and best of all it could be lasered off and not 'oxidise' and change color under a Q-switched laser!
Your industry is a money grabbing crock that preys on the insecurities of vulnerable people - requiring many treatments with risky pigments that are not easily removed by modern methods and change colour radically.
I'm over hearing the spin - cough up the truth!
A five day training course, hundreds of dollars a day profits, totally legal immunity from bad jobs .. whores sell their bodies, cosmetic tattooists rob their clients. Which of these "professions" is more profitable? Hmmm.

Yes, I believe that this filthy PMU job is affecting your eyes. They used inks on us that they know nothing about and, who knows, if you do have herpes in the eyes as geegee suggested it seems coincidentally introduced at the same time as the cosmetic tattoo.
I feel for you. I'm also jaded by my experience with PMU. Maybe herpes of the brain affected the technician who tattooed one of my eyebrows higher than the other in a purple/gray hue of supposedly light brown or she was dizzy from spinning her color wheel?!
Trust your gut feeling .. not some cosmetic artist.
If you don't mind me asking, how faded were your tattoos before you began laser and was the pigment a "cool" color?
Mine are ashy, purply, blue/ brown - one is higher and thicker - and I only had them done two weeks ago and STILL have scabs and deep pitting where the tattooist over worked the area.
I'm hoping when (if..) they heal that I will be a candidate for laser.
Thankyou for any information in advance - it's sooo hard finding non sales pitch information about permanent make up removal on line and your wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

I like light at the end of a tunnel but I'm still in a dark place.
Thankyou for the information .. and I'm so happy that your result was such a positive one.
SY214,
You were brave to laser! I'm glad that you also have resolved the brows issues.
