Posted under Microblading q&a

1 week PO. Does lightly nudging a scab that's barely hanging on count as picking scabs? Or did I pull pigment out?

Practical2526
Got brows microbladed and microshaded a week ago. They are scabbing and flaking like usual, there was a very large piece that was like hanging down, I could see it in my eyes. I brushed it lightly and kind of gave it a little nudge and it fell right off. I'm hoping this doesn't count as picking, as it was barely hanging on and it was literally affecting my vision. Is this ok or do you think I pulled pigment out? Didn't pick, just lightly nudged. Thanks!
