Is it safe to get microblading over a mole which has been shaved?

Question

I have a mole on my eyebrow which I’m considering getting shaved off but I’m concerned about how it will look after because the hair will not regrow and it’s quite a wide mole. I’m wondering is it possible to get microblading done on top of a mole that has been shaved? The mole has been checked by the doctor and is benign

It is absolutely fine to microblade pigment over a scar, but sometimes a scar won't take up the pigment as uniformly or well as un-damaged skin will, so it's possible you will have less pigment in that area even after microblading. Overall I would expect it to look fine, and would be willing to take that slight risk. If you don't want to take that risk, consider having the mole excised and the skin sewn back together with sutures, which would give a linear scar that would be easier to microblade over (once it healed completely, of course).
