Microblading to Fix Over-tweezing/bald Spots

I went ham on my eyebrows in middle school and they've never full recovered. I had so much space between them and now, where they've grown in, they're really patchy and thin. I don't like spending a lot of time on my makeup and I think filled in brows look really unnatural on my face. I'm hoping microblading will fix the bald spots and maybe make my eyebrows look a bit thicker.

Ouch.

I just did the walk of shame through Target to get an headband and my forehead has a pulse.

Amanda was great, she spent about 20 minutes drawing on my new shape and asked what I didn't like about my brows, if I wanted them thicker, if I wanted squared or rounded, etc. Then she let me look and they looked amazing!

She put topical cream on and explained that the first cuts would be the worst and once the skin was open, she would put more cream on and it would be less painful. I have a high pain tolerance and it hurt pretty bad. I assumed it would be like a tattoo, but I was more painful.

The whole process took a little over 2 hours and while they're covered with blood and pigment for the next hour, I can already tell I'm going to like them.

The worst part had to be the sound. I didn't know what to expect, but it was terrible. If you are considering having microblading done, ask if you can listen to headphones.

I just wiped the pigment off and I can't believe how much I already like them. I thought I'd second guess my decision, but I'm not.
