Permanent Eyebrow Makeup in Lynwood, WA

Hello all, first post but have been visiting this...
WORTH IT$250
Hello all, first post but have been visiting this site for a few months now. Let me begin with my permanent makeup experience.
In the first photo you will see what I normally do with my eyebrows. I go with a light khaki grey pencil to fill in the sparse spots of my asymmetric eyebrows, which I'm quite comfortable having. They've never overwhelmed my face or taken away from my other features. I'm not so sure about the saying that goes "A good set of eyebrows should define your face" or something like that. I'm of the opinion that if they're good, they won't steal attention from your eyes, cheekbones, lips, etc.
Second photo, the aftermath including touchup of the permanent makeup treatment. Though the work might be good, and maybe this is a look that alot of girls like, it's not my style. It's too thick, too chunky for my taste. The assistant who had to translate English for my technician explained that my eyebrows are at a 10 but once they calm down they'll go to a 5 or 6. They just needed to add more ink this time around so that my skin would hold the color a little better.
Although I trust that the ink will lighten, I am increasingly more and more upset with the shape and the width of the brow. If you look closely, the ink goes a few millimeters outside of the border of my actual eyebrow hairs. For the size of my eyebrow itself, that's alot of extra ink coverage that I cannot compensate for - my eyebrow hairs don't grow in to that width! Also, I have one of those faces that can easily be overwhelmed by the shape and size of my eyebrows, which is why I kept them relatively slim and light for so long. After 28 years I realized that's part of what made me content and confident with the appearance of my face! Why change it?
I'm curious. Am I being too ungrateful or do I really look like the groucho marx clone that I now feel like? I'll wait another week or so. If the size doesn't go down much further I might want to look into permanent makeup correction...

Weeks to month later
Hey all. For those wanting to know how my eyebrows turned out, I'm now including a pic of my brows a week later and a month later.
After well over a month with my soft-touch brows I'm getting used to them. I find that I do fill them in a little bit where the hair doesn't naturally grow, over the faded pigment. But I'm okay with that and have received many compliments from friends and coworkers.
Final verdict: I like. :-)

You look very nice. If she had done them any thicker u would have had a huge problem.
But no worries. You look young also.
