Put the strongest glycolic formulation you can get on it NOW. The sooner the better. Remove any scabbing first, then apply and reapply glycolic.

If it has already healed, then the only thing that will remove it, and it is never a complete removal, is a good strong TCA peel. One of the warnings for TCA is that it will fade permanent cosmetics. Laser can also help once the permanent cosmetics have healed.

I would NOT believe the technician that she can fix this once it heals. You can't, for example, mix flesh color permanent cosmetics and apply it "over" the earlier color. That does not work.

Early action is the best.

No, thank you, I don't do it for money. I am done with it, actually, maybe one more touchup on my lips, because they do fade after awhile, and then I would sell my kit. It was money well spent.

Shop around and you will find someone you like.

I disagree. Permanent cosmetics done professionally is waaay overpriced. It is one of those situations where they use $10 of materials, and charge $400 for the procedure. When I have had regular makeup professionally done, they never get it quite the way I want it. I look better when I do it myself, because I am familiar with my own face and have learned through trial and error over many years what looks good on me. Use single point needles for eyebrows and you will get a very natural appearance. I draw lines where my eyebrows are sparse at the outer edge, and then I do a shadowed effect in red to blend my brows in with my hair. It looks quite good. I was taught this technique at the two day school I attended. Like I said, it ain't rocket science!

BTW, the "white stripe" looks great on me. I have deep set eyes, so I used to apply highlighter on my upper lids under the crease. The light color (it is not really white) really make them pop. Really improved the appearance of my eyes. Since then I have added highlighter over my upper lid, so it is not just a stripe any longer, but blended in.

I disagree. Permanent cosmetics is way over-priced for what it is. It is a piece of cake to apply, no more difficult than applying regular cosmetics. So if you can apply your own eyebrow pencil, then yes, you can tattoo it on, too. If you can get your lipstick on straight, then you can apply the pigments correctly, i.e. to look the way you want them to look. Permanent cosmetics is a valuable thing to have, and I wish I had done it earlier in life. It really simplifies cosmetics application. For example, I could never wear eyeliner because it would inevitably smudge and give me raccoon eyes. So the eyeliner is the most valuable thing to have IMO. I did NOT do that part of it myself, and I think that would be difficult for anyone to do! I did apply shading under the lower lashes, however. I did my eyebrows, which was really easy and I got a very natural appearance using a single needle, and the lips. I do not like lined lips. They look old fashioned to me. Someone else did my initial lip liner during the one weekend course, and thankfully it has faded. The lip filler color I used is a bit darker and brighter, and so the liner color does not show, or is not obvious anymore. If you really want to pay someone $400 or more to apply your lipstick, at least go in to their studio already made up so that you can show them what you want to look like. Do not let them use their own ideas. In my opinion, it is very hard for other people to get it quite right. Another advantage to self-application is that you are not going to get someone else's case of hepatitis C. The last time I went in to a cosmetic tatooist, she inadvertently stuck her own thumb, and then tried to go ahead and use the same needle on me, thinking that I hadn't seen her! Keep an eye on these ladies!
