Just a quick update for everyone! Almost a year has passed and I'm happy to say that I hardly ever think about the stupid brow incident anymore. Sometimes the skin around the eyebrows gets a bit red but with makeup on there's nothing! So happy the nightmare had and ending and it didnt get any worse than that.

Just to say there's hope for all of you out there who are still struggling ????

For future reference.... just my experience ... I had a doctor remove my disastrous eyebrow tattoo (one side only) from a woman in Tampa (a horrible experience!!!) with a Q Switched laser (several treatments. The tattoo is completely gone and what a relief!!! In case you ever experience this again, contact a doctor who specializes in tattoo removal. They are out there! :)

After how many treatments?

My brow tattoo was taupe in color. It took 6 treatments. Not inexpensive, but I couldn't live with the tattoo so I forged ahead. :) The tattoo is completely gone. Do keep in mind that the first treatment will sometimes darken first (if there is white in the shade that was used for your tattoo), but will lighten noticeably after each treatment thereafter. I felt I was in good hands with a fully certified/licensed and experienced doctor doing the work. Good luck to you.

Thanks I will definitely do that! Glad that yours turned out so well. But I'm too scared to ever tattoo my face again I think. Next thing I'm getting is a boob job and I hope I will be more fortunate with that experience :D

But if you said that she never listened to you why you stayed? Because the permanent makeup artist is suppose to draw your eyebrows first, make measurement for symmetry, and then show you how them look first so the permanent make up artist can start doing the brows with the ink.
Did you go back to that person, what that person says?

She told me that her customers always had their own ideas but since she always use 'The Golden ratio" it always turns out great and will suit the face shape. She sounded like she knew what she was talking about so I ignored my gut feeling and trusted her :( she drew them on first but it was not visible to me that they were uneven at that point. She also made the measurements. That part took at least 30minutes so I have no idea what went wrong. I noticed she started to shave one brow in the middle of tattoing and that was a bit strange. Now I know she must have noticed that they didnt match at that point. I wrote them and they only told me that I havent got the final result. Cant argue with that but I see no way that they would be able to make the brows match and look good at the same time - and the tattoo would be even harder to remove. The clinic also makes you sign papers stating that you have the tattoo at your own risk and complaints are not possible. So I dont know what I would gain from going back there. :/

They told you to wait for final results? But the problem is not the ink color, is the asymmetric because from what I see in the picture that's the problem, I can't understand how if you already have hair she didn't go with the micro blading technique, which you only add or fill the space of hair missing. Camouflage would be another option to conceal some spot but that will be more likely if they wouldn't be so asymmetric.
The other option is laser but the laser will kill the hair follicles, so the hair won't grow back and then you might want to do again the permanent make up.

Your removal seems to be coming along well -- can we have an update?

Theres only a little ink left, luckily! But I'm still very red. I dont think I'll have more saline treatments - I'm too afraid of scarring by now. I might have a laser treatment in a few months if the redness is gone by then.

You bet! And I can name another one in Tampa. What a mess. Going through laser treatments due to her folly.

1 month past saline removal

So its been 1 month and I am hopeful. Redness is mostly gone on one brow and has faded some on the other. Some color has disappeared and it does not look like I have any scars so far. I'm having my second treatment on friday and after that I think I will try with laser. I think redness would be completely gone by 2 months.

Top pictures are the new ones. Bottom pics are a few weeks old.

Why you don't put a pictures with both eyebrows that we can all see if they are symmetric or no ,because the eyebrows must to be symmetric to your eyes not your natural eyebrows? Do you have a pictures with both eyebrows? because all I can see is that you complain that they are not symmetric to your natural eyebrow but not to your eyes and face . Fifty percent of my customer come with univen natural eyebrows.

I also have customers that when they close the eyes the eyebrows are even and when they open one eyebrow is lifted more than other one . With the natural eyebrows especially if they are very light the difference is not show much but with the semipermanent makeup it will show more. When I have this kind of customers I always take pictures with the shape with eyes closed and eyes open. I always explain the customer that is something that is not in my power to change and I alway tell customer that if they want to not proceed with the permanent makeup I will not charge them anything. I prefer to have happy customers that angry one! I don't know what is in your case but somehow there was something wrong or in execution or in misinformation

Hi, I already uploaded a picture like that. It is in my Update from August - please see below.

I saw it , one eyebrows look higher then other one. Have you ever ask to one of your friend to look at your eyebroews when you close your eyes? Did you did the saline treatment? Did that worked?

I don't know how to put a pictures that you will understand what I am speaking about

Yes I also took pictures to see how they looked with closed eyes. But it still does not explain how she made them so uneven - because she made the drawings and the measurements both where my eyes were open, closed, when I was sitting and stranding. To make sure they were even from all angles. It does not make sense.. Yes I had two saline treatments - they removed most of the color but there is still some left. I will let them fade since the most visible part is still the redness from the removal. Once that is gone I will not need to cover them as much..

Hi how have your brows turned out after the saline removal? I'm looking at getting it done for mine but was unsure if laser is the better option. Thanks

I am wondering if some botox could have lowered / lifted an eyebrow to make them look symmetrical. I hated the high arch and angry birds look too. Eventually I asked a botox dr to lift the brows that point to the nose. It was a subtle difference as I did not want them to be higher than the wings. I also asked the artist to fill in under the high arch with more brows and add some high strokes to the brows that point to the nose, while working on fading the lower segments with retina a cream. They are now looking straighter and more flattering. I have only come to this point after I have become used to having thicker, darker brows and looking at fashion magazines and tv actors to see how common they are now. Keep friendly with your artist (unless they are really bad) and they will work with you to make changes. I love my brows now.

Thanks for sharing your removal journey. I too received horrible eyebrow tattooing and am researching the best removal method. Did you have any scarring from the saline removal? Did your saline removal person use a tattoo gun? Thank you.
