I had my eyebrows microbladed 5 weeks ago and you can't tell it was done. (photos)

I had microblading done on 12/19/16 and five weeks later, you can only see about 5 strokes. My photo below shows my results right after the procedure was finished. My eyebrows are still red/pink.

An initial application is incomplete until after a follow-up appointment which should be scheduled approximately 6-8 weeks after your initial appointment. At this touch-up appointment your technician can add more hair strokes, adjust shape/size and create a darker appearance if needed. Two...
