BE AWARE! Clients of Tina Davies be aware of the following before you let her tattoo your face, permanently. As a client you pay for her service, tattoo, in advance before any work’s done. With this and signing the contract with her, Tina is off the hook. Her responsibility towards you stops there. So when her work turns out to be wrong, tattooed permanently on your face, she will cover it by telling you that Angelina Jolie’s eyebrows are not the same too. Who cares about Angelina whilst your (mine) face looks uneven and the price paid for that is $850.
My eyebrows were done in a dark brown colour which faded 4 months after the second touch up. So the marketing tool used on Tina’s website and in verbal that a new set of the eyebrows are going to last 2 years ( which is used heavily to justify for a such expensive service) is a big fat lie.
The colour used on my face was dark brown when faded became reddish. When the eyebrows were tried to be removed by a laser it very quickly became apparent that Tina uses colours with the white colour base which is impossible to remove by a laser. If she is such a great expert with all those years of experience, somebody who cares about her customers and what products she uses Tina should know this and perhaps use more expensive colours since she charges soooo much.
My personal experience dealing with Tina is she only cares about the money, nothing more nothing else. Unfortunately I have to give her 1* for this review to be published.

Worst experience of my life. Not worth the risk!
My eyebrow is not only severely infected, but they are not symmetrical and resemble the Mc Donald's sign.
Tina has refused a refund and did not care about this turning into a medical issue. Microblading/permanent make up is simply not worth the risks.

Simply not worth the risks.
Most important to mention would be the risk of infection as it's very close to your eye. Thankfully I did not lose my eye site but my eyebrow was badly infected and now just hoping the infection does not leave a scar on my face.
Also, the colour is not for me as I am not a brunette. I'm not even sure it would like good on a brunette as the undertone is noticeably unnatural. I have had my eyebrows tattooed before so I can tell the fade out colour is going to be awful, almost purple looking.
However, the colour is not the worst risk. Most certainly the risk of infection out weights the poor colour choice. But to add to these risks, the shape of the eyebrow may not be the same. One of my eyebrows is noticeably longer and does not have the same lift on the end as the other eyebrow (it drops down). Its funny one eyebrow looks perfect in terms of technique and the other looks awful as the same motion of technique was not used.
Simply put, microblading is not worth the risks.

I will comment on this in reference to the type of pigment used. Pigments that have White (titanium dioxides) and other iron oxides are not cheaper than the alternative. It is very common to use a combination of iron oxides, titanium dioxides, and organic colors in permanent makeup pigments. Iron oxides are actually a form of colorant used in many of our mineral makeups and even foods. While yes, laser removal of the pigment does create a black color when titanium dioxide is in it, there are far less allergic reactions to those colorants than are to organic pigments.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you find support in the community.
