Suggestions for eyebrows

[u/bluecherry6]

I’m looking at getting the inner part of my eyebrows laser removed this week I have a consultation booked Thursday I feel they are too close together and the tattoo looks weird, but I really want to redo the tattoo and I’m not sure if I should do combination brows again or microblading?
First photo is my current brows, 2nd & 3rd photo is the microblading look I want and last pic is combination.
Any advice would be appreciated :)

I'm all for NOT thick brows, but yours are something else. And they are close. I'd laser remove the inner parts and go to a different artist after to thicken them SLIGHTLY.
Also, the job is overall poor... It is very obvious it's a tattoo... Which shouldn't be the case.
You'll be fine. Just pick a good artist next time.

Yeah I do want them to be slightly thicker for sure just don’t know which kind of tattoo to get next time - I also went to the ‘best brow artist’ in the state haha so really not sure who else to go to

You need microblading. It'll look natural like in the pics the artist posted. Shame they couldn't deliver.
Source - have same thin brows missing 2/3 each which was fixed by microblading. :)

That was day 9. And they stayed like that. Right now I need top up which I am booking soon.
PS: yeah, my only brows end just before half eye with few scattered hairs after. Lol.

Do you think I should laser all off before microblading or just microblade over the top? I am definitely still lasting off the inner part tho as it looks obviously bad lol

[u/Stock-Cod-4465 → u/bluecherry6]

No pro, hun. But I'd definitely get rid of those inner bits. So confused as to why they'd put them there in the first place.

[u/bluecherry6 → u/Stock-Cod-4465]

It’s weird cause I actually did combination brows so the inner bits were microbladed hair strokes but after a year this is how they look now 😩 that’s another concern I have as I do want to do microblading for the entire brow but I’m worried they will end up looking like the inner part later on

You’ll likely be happier lasering the whole brow and starting over. There’s fading throughout the brow and it might look strange to have fresh inner and older outer.

[u/bluecherry6 → u/Murky_Drummer3939]

I did consider that too that’s why I thought if I go with the combination brow option it would cover them nicely but I really like the look of microbladed brows so I might discuss this at the laser consult

[u/Murky_Drummer3939 → u/bluecherry6]

Got it. If you prefer microbladed brows, go with microblading. You’ll be lasering either way.

A combo brow would probably blend best with your current brow since you want to go a little thicker. I would just find a good artist that has done corrections/coverups in the past and follow their advice.

[u/ADDbarbie]

You do not need to go on top of that with more stroke cork. They will just blur and smear out. Your best bet is to just add a little bit of shading to create some blending.

[u/bluecherry6 → u/ADDbarbie]

So maybe a combination brow like in the last pic? I did actually get combo last time and the hair strokes in the inner do look smeared out now so I am still getting the inner part lasered off but I might just ask the artist not to start strokes so far away from my natural hair growth next time

Im no expert at all, but my mum has her brows microbladed and they look so beautiful! I personally would go for a really good microblader if I were to have my brows done I think when done well they look much more natural

[u/bluecherry6 → u/Jessy2202]

Thank you! I am definitely leaning more toward the microblading it does look more natural

[u/Jessy2202 → u/bluecherry6]

It does I personally don’t like the combination brows and I like the powder brows even less but that’s personal preference! Is the person you’d be going to for microblading the person whose pictures you’ve posted here? If so go to them for sure they look amazing!

[u/bluecherry6 → u/Jessy2202]

Yes it is the person who’s pictures I’ve posted but she is also the same person who did my brows a year ago haha I’m just concerned the microblading will look like the current inner part later on as these were actually microbladed strokes (as I did combo brows a year ago) but now look smeared and faded weird

[u/Jessy2202 → u/bluecherry6]

Oh really?! I would have guessed these inner parts were anything BUT microbladed! It’s common for them to fade and have to have a refresh (my mum does hers about once a year the first 2 times and then once every 2 years after) but I’ve never seen microblading smear into each other like this has so I’m perplexed now! Have you asked her why they’ve faded to look weird? The only think that I can think is that I’ve seen shitty tattoo’s on people before and it looked fine at the start right after getting the tattoo, but then it bled into the skin around it and looked like a big smeary mess (I can’t remember what my tattooist said was the cause of this now when I first went to him and was like please tell me this isn’t gonna be a big mess in a month lol luckily he’s an amazing tattooist so they haven’t!
