Biggest Mistake Ever - Bristol, England

In march I had my eyebrows tattooed on illegally...
$100
In march I had my eyebrows tattooed on illegally by a woman who I trusted and thought she would do an amazing job on my eyebrows.. Obviously not as now everyday I have to wake up with these horrible things and the most horrible thing is.. Is that I'm only 16! And no one will remove them because of my age! If people want to say I'm stupid for even considering it at my age.. I probably was but I used to get bullied over my old eyebrows and it made me feel insecure.. And now I feel even more insecure :( and people still laugh at me :( people really should do research and really think about if they want it done before going ahead with the procedure, because you really don't want to wake up everyday hating what you see in the mirror and trying to cover up these horrible things! It's made me feel very depressed and I can't even do anything about it.. The pictures are of the actual tattooed eyebrows and the other ones are of the tattoed eyebrows with pencil on them.. I hope people really do go on this website and read this before considering getting permanent makeup because you could be making the biggest mistake of your life.. Just like me :(

still hate my eyebrows
its been a year and a half since I had my eyebrows tattooed on and i still regret it every day... i use concealer and powder to go over the tattoo and then use a pencil and they look okay... but its such a hassle and i still know them disgusting things are there! i cant wait until im 18 so i can consider laser removal! if you are considering ever getting your eyebrows tattooed then please DONT. it isnt worth it and natural is so much better! if they do go wrong then they will make your life very difficult and im only 16

I like what you've done in this picture. I think you make it all work; larger ear plugs, nose rings, hair done up. Its a beautiful-edgy look. Honestly, the eyebrows do look penciled in and not natural but that just means they look intentional and they totally work with this look. My opinion, I know, but I think you've done a fantastic job in making it work for you. Good job :)

Also I just looked and saw that you originally paid $100 for your brows and a good set a brows should be at least 250 or more. Sometimes $400 or $500. And worth every cent if it's done beautifully. :)

I know that we tend to be so critical of ourselves especially when we look at ourselves every day in the mirror. But honestly your brows are really not that bad and the shape is working for you and you're quite beautiful! The main thing that I used to judge if someone has horrible eyebrows is when I look at them is that the first thing I see? When I look at you and your picture it's definitely not the first thing you notice so either you're doing a great job blending everything in or what you have going for you is just fine. It's been a year and a half so I wouldn't even worry about having laser removal when you turn 18 because the brows will fade even more and I would hate to see you have any sort of hair follicle damage or removal due to the laser process. So anyhow you look great and keep going.

This has made me feel so much better about myself. I am going to keep my options open and will probably not opt for laser removal as it can cause complications and it could scar me forever. I couldnt live with that! Thankyou so much, you are so lovely!

Oh my god you're so welcome and just know that you're beautiful and honestly I would not opt for laser treatment first off it's so expensive and you have to do so many treatments. I would say if it just got tattooed and you were hating it but you're a year and a half into it and it's good. The shape is great and the thickness is great. And it will fade and of younger them done in the future again go to a super reputable artist and look at all their before and after shots and make sure they are actually pics from THEIR clients and not examples of what they think they can do. And get hair stroke brows done. Until then, you rock it.

Improvement on eyebrows
Ive tried a lot of techniques on my eyebrows and they look much better than they ever have (since having them tattooed) people don't even guess that they're tattooed anymore which is great! but I still regret it a lot. It would be so nice to wake up in the morning not having to worry about my bloody eyebrows! I'm still very insecure about them and scared that people stare at me.. I find it hard sticking to a job because I take so long trying to perfect them and Im usually late.. I sort of have an obsession now.. I just hope no one has to go through what I do, If you have natural eyebrows you are the luckiest person ever

I wish I read all this before my botched job! I had mine done in mar 2015 I have never even considered it or thought of it till one day a trusted friend and thus my life has been a nightmare since. I was so desparate to remove it that I ended up with lots of scarring and it's still on my f%>#* face the ink! My depression level is on an all time high.
Makes me even stupider is I never even thought of doing it in the first place bc I don't wear makeup. Just caught with my guard down.
Anyways, after all different types of stupid removal treatments I'm forced with the idea of total laser removal only problem is I have very fine hairs and it's ingredients contain iron and titanium. :(

Hi V604, So sorry to hear of your situation. It can sometimes get a little bit depressing to look in the mirror and not like what we see on our face. What removal methods have you used so far and what are you left with? Any fading at all? How do you know that the tattoo contains iron and titanium? ... I am not touching my tattooed eyebrows for now but seriously considering laser removal. They are too dark as well and look fake. From what I have read on the site and researched, Q-switched laser are used a lot for removal of permanent makeup. There is this patch that can be used during the laser treatment http://onlightsciences.com/ that is supposed to take more color out in the same treatment and helps the skin heal faster after the laser treatment. Something worth considering if you want to reduce the amount of times it takes for complete removal. In the meantime there are makeup products you can use to cover-up your dark eyebrows but I imagine you already know all the tricks ... Hoping that all goes well and remember that you are more than your eyebrows... Take care...
