Don't Do This if You Already Have Brows - Sweden

ORIGINAL POST

I did a cosmetic tattoo called PhiBrows yesterday...

$556
I did a cosmetic tattoo called PhiBrows yesterday and now I regret it so much! I already had good brows but I wanted to fill in the gaps. I know it's only been one day but the color looks so wrong to my natural hair and eyebrow color and I hate the shape too. Now I wonder if there is anything I can do to remove them?

I have read that it takes many treatments but there are lasers that remove brow tattoos. The good news is you just got it done and it WILL fade. Just wait a few weeks. Also, most brow tattooing (or tattoos in general) fade in time, so you'll probably be fine and have nothing to worry about. I've seen some VERY overdone brow tattoos (I have hardly any brows and have considered tattoos) So DON'T PANIC.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you find support in the community.

Yes I also think they look fabulous, also you're supposed to expect quite a lot of fading after a few weeks I think so they shouldn't stay that bright.
okay I've never posted on here before but I wanted to save people if I can. FIRST OF ALL, if u truly only want color in a certain spot, YES there is help. but I agree. They're not bad and I know they will look bomb when they fade. If u want to camouflage while they look crazy, get a mineral makeup. not liquid and dust in ur brows. I covered the THICKEST, MOST AWFUL BROWS like this for work. I used Jane Iredale. Safe and natural. K, next, if u want removal, ONLY go to a specialist in perm makeup. The inks aren't regulated and if they have iron oxide, they'll turn black in laser. Safer and cheaper, saline removal. Tattooing w saline them a paste of salt is applied to draw color out. Takes longer but WORKS on all colors and oxides!!! Never let an artist use flesh time btw bc then laser is off the table FOR SURE. I made a strong saline solution, scrubbed my scabs off and applied the solution twice until I saw crystals. Left on overnight. This hurts. Camouflage the way i mentioned. Hard to get makeup off ur new scabs so use an oil like hemp or pumpkin seed. Take off scabs with a tweezer, apply salt again. Within 2 nights, my tattoo was gone and I could see the ink in my scab. I don't know if I will scar but regardless, once the ink is gone u can use real aloe, mixed w hemp oil to keep the skin super healthy
Hi there, Im in the same position. I am interested as I've only had mine done three days ago. Did you wait for them to heal before doing this? I would really appreciate anymore info... Thanks, I'm stressing
No. I wasted no time. Put salt on the first night. What ur looking for is a nice thick scab. If u don't have one yet to peel then wait. Mix water and salt and shake until dissolved then take ur q tip and saturate and run over the part or all of what u don't like. Do this til u see salt crystals in ur brows and go to bed. Remove gently in the morning. NO moisturizer on them! But u can moisturizer AROUND the brow so rogue salt doesn't dry u. At the end of the day you should have a scab peel that sucker. Do you see ink? I don't know if I will scar but so far I'm good. Anyway I bled at this point but u will bleed during saline removal with a technican. I took sharp tweezers and even went as far and to kinda scrape at the ink strokes I didn't like in order to open the skin further Now you have to repeat the saline application on ur raw open skin. PAINFUL but do it, dry, go to bed. By end of that day, If u haven't waited too long (I did next day) you should be able to remove this scab and see a difference. I can send u pics. I started this the day after tattoo and I was free two days later. That said, you can wait until u heal and have this professionally done if u don't like the result because u honestly look good. I know it's scary! Use mineral makeup and not liquid to cover. Esp on the scabby days, it covers better than u think. Remove it with a gentle oil... My face wash had trouble getting my minerals outta the dry scab. Take long showers, steam ur face, sit in the bath, do all the things they say not to if you are SURE u don't like ur brows
Thank you for your post, kkostrz.
