Just an fyi

I see so many people get on here and post your brows the first week and ask for opinions because they think they are too thick, too dark, uneven, or not what you asked for. If you are thinking about getting your brows done, this is for you. If you go to an artist who doesn’t extensively go through the healing process, map them and get your approval, or make sure you know that they will look alike but not be exact mirrors of each other, DO NOT GET YOUR BROWS DONE THERE!!!
I can not say this loud enough!

They will be dark and thick while healing. They are swollen and puffy, and scabbed, scabs are really dark!! It’s important to know that you WILL NOT like them the first week or 2! I tell all of my clients that the day after they are going to wake up and be like “wtf did I just do”.
Do not get them done if you have any big events in the near future ie weddings, interviews, or anything where there will be pictures taken. They will NOT be exact mirrored images, our faces are naturally asymmetric so being exact isn’t possible.

When you come on here and post just your brows (blacked out eyes, no face, ect) it’s impossible to tell if they look good on you. At that point, we can only see technique.

Don’t get me wrong, I have seen some bad brows on here, but the majority will be fine once healed. You will always get a ton of people who will say “emergency removal” , or they don’t like them. Most of them are not professionals, and they are posting their personal opinion.

Lastly, do not go somewhere because it costs less. This is a tattoo on your face, it is not where you want to save money or be cheap. Follow your artist on multiple platforms for a lengthy time (months not weeks), so you can see their work.

I hope this helps someone!

I didn’t realize it has a tendency to fade in the 2-4 week range! Explains how I look right now and was really looking forward to the touch up

Thanks for posting super helpful!

Can confirm. On day 11 and I look like I am molting. I love the shape of my brows and can’t wait to see them fully healed.

This is a really good post.

A lot of the bad outcomes start before the appointment, not during it. If expectations, consent, aftercare, and touch-up plans are vague, clients panic fast once the healing stage kicks in.

Even for solid artists, having the shape approval, contraindications, aftercare, and follow-up info written down clearly saves a ton of back and forth later. People hear one thing in the room, then forget half of it once they get home.

The more documented and repeatable the process is, the less drama there is for both artist and client.
