In 2010 or 11 I had my eyebrows tattooed. They weren't fully tattooed because I wasn't going to shave my hair off but I wanted them darker so this guy I knew gave me an outline as I like to call it and just darken the areas that needed darkening like the tail of my eyebrows and the middle. Back then Brittanya from Rock of Love was really popular for her eyebrows and cheek piercings so that's what I wanted without that bald face look. Anyhow years later as I became more of a natural woman in so many ways, I decided I didn't want it anymore. Everywhere I went I heard of Body Details so I decided to have it done. A tattoo I have on my shoulder is actually what pushed me to get rid of the eyebrow tattoos but if I could only have four small lines and have to pay $1745 ain't no way in hell I would pay more on a tattoo the size of my palm to be removed. I'm better off doing a coverup for my shoulder. Anyhow Body Details does have a lifetime guarantee so no matter what once you pay for your sessions they have to get it removed but that's when you pay for a package like I did. I did not pay cash I used credit because my score was at a 734 and besides that I just would never pay that money cash for such a small procedure. Anyhow my first session was on January the 11th I believe and my second session is coming up April 19,2017. I am African American by ethnicity and they are using their state of the art Picosure laser. Personally I do see a slight difference. My body has eliminated some of the ink as they said the laser blasts the ink into smaller particles for your body to eliminate it. I can't wait for it to be completely gone and I'm actually looking forward to going back to natural eyebrows no makeup. Hopefully everything will be gone by August for my birthday. I'd really like to celebrate by finding a really good eyebrow shaping artist to give me the perfect shape. I did not buy the aquaphor they told me to buy for healing but I have been staying out of the sun as they suggested. Every night I used Jamaican black castor oil extra dark from the brand Sunny Isles and my eyebrows have gotten super dark, full and long. It's very unfortunate that I have to cut them off again for session number 2 tomorrow but I'm excited to get this thing in motion. 4 months between the sessions is a long time. I'm really just gonna go in this time like a soldier instead of how I did the last time. Last time I was scared. I had laser hair removal and tried to compare the pain but it's not the same. That rubber band pop is not the same level of pop if that makes sense. The cold air blowing on the tattoo is annoying and the popping sensation. I was so jumpy like I was in an electric chair. I honestly believe the cold air intensifies the pain but the cold is to help from heat transfer. I wish so many things...that I didn't have to cut the hair off to get it done, that the risk of being burned didn't go up with hair and that it would be over this next treatment. Last time I did request the weakest strength like a punk but this time I'm going all in because I'm really tired of this hair cutting process. I would never put a razor to my eyebrows as a licensed cosmetologist. It messes with the growth of hair. I prefer to take cuticle scissors or eyebrow scissors and just cut it down to stubble but not completely bald. I am the only black woman to have this done in that office so I'm sure this looks good for diversity purposes also so I'm excited because black people don't really do many procedures. I'm also looking into doing laser hair removal with them in the near future because I had it done before by someone else and it looks like more hair is growing in which means she didn't use the right settings.

Really glad to hear that you had a good experience. I recently had an eyebrow tattoo on 04/12/17 and it is horribly placed. I have purchased a laser removal package and move by orig date back because I am so terrified because there isn't much info on eyebrow laser removal on black women. Thanks again for sharing your story. This gives me some relief.

You're so welcome. I wish I never did the tattoo but it's coming along well. I'm seeing fading although I did do so research and realized that the headache I experienced the day after was my body trying to excrete the particles of ink. The headache did go away but I also had some allergy problems. As they were going away I did catch a cold from my mom so that was no good. A weak immune system slows down the excretory process so I don't know what kind of results I'll have by my next visit but my cold is going away

Where are you located? Have you looked into saline tattoo removal? Look up Carol Packman in Los Angeles (she has lots of reviews on yelp too).

I'm in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I've heard of saline tattoo removal but the amount of pain I heard was involved and possible scaring scared me.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I wanted to go to ageless medical but it is too far. Another doctor I had laser tattoo removal didn’t have the lrotective goggles, and I am still paranoid he damaged my ayes. But I see that you had good experience and I live in ft. Lauderdale. Could you please tell us which body details did you go to. I would truly appreciate that. Thank you so much.

The video will not upload because it's too big and I don't know how to cut and edit but I think I'm getting good results. I'm feeling very anxious to get rid of it. In the video there was a cooling air that after 5 seconds feels like there's ice particles coming out. This numbs the area. The procedure is about 5 minutes or less. The actual laser part takes a minute or less. I don't have a full eyebrow I literally have 3 lines. I did not remove all of my hair this time but it's good enough. My third session is on June 28 and I can't wait. Hopefully it'll be my last lol I know I keep saying that but it's really annoying to cut the hair off. Most people are good after the 4 treatment, I would say 90% of people and then the others probably have to go up to treatment 6 but these are the best lasers money can buy. Again they do have a lifetime guarantee
