How long does it take for newly tattooed eyebrows to fade and heal completely?

Bubble1234
Hi!  I got my eyebrows tattooed on Dec 2. It's been 2 weeks now. The color has faded a bit but it is definitely still a lot darker than I would like. I'm hoping that it will continue to fade in the next couple of weeks but I'm starting to panick and feel like they'll still be too dark. How long does it normally take for newly tattooed eyebrows to fade and completely heal?  I know that technicians can easily darken the color but is it possible to lighten them?  I'm now paranoid that people are constantly looking at my too dark eyebrows.
