eyebrow tattoo gone wrong

Help! Had my eyebrows done 2 days ago. Was horrified when I saw them, as they were too dark (I understand they will fade) and way too close together.
After reading lots of posts on here, I tried firstly the baking soda, then the high-salt saline solution. However, I seem to have rubbed a bit too haard, as I'm now left with about 3 layers of skin gone in the area at the start of each eyebrow! It's very red and sore and has only removed a little of the pigment. I'm too scared to keep up with the saline solution, as I fear I will remove even more of the skin and also, it stings like hell.
Concealer and foundation don't cover the hideous redness or the dark pigment of the eyebrows. I'm not going to work as I'm so embarassed about the way I look. Any advice on healing the skin quickly? TIA.

Sorry you are going through this! You do realize that the pigment fades about 40 60 percent right. The brows darken during healing and then fade a lot. The red color is something that hopefully will fade, did you research and go to someone legit? I personally hate red on brows, unless you are a red head. I feel so bad for you as this is your face. But trust the process and make sure to go for your touch-up and have them corrected. Any good micro blade artist will accommodate you! Relax and a lot of people freak out and then LOVE them....keep us informed!

Days 2-4 they are REALLY dark and redish from skin tenderness, days 5-7 they scab and shed, 8-10 they fade a LOT!.. Then on day 14-28ish they will be what you should expect to get touched up if needed. It's a crazy healing process and requires a ton of patience. I hope for the best for you and agree w/ annmolls. I would wait to see the final healing to decide.
