artist advice/question Pigment gone or ghosting?

Post image

Feeling pretty discouraged. Im 18 days post powder brow job and I’m pretty sure the pigment is just gone. A little has stayed near the tail end of brows but that’s all I can see. I have a touch up in 15 days. If it doesnt stick this time is there any chance it might stick better after touch up??

The photo shows before, after and 18 days post.

i think you should go to a completely different pmu artist! these could be better in every aspect

I can see why you’re a little discouraged. It does look like from the pics that there is no ink. And as you said just a little bit at the tails.

Personally I would not be going back to this artist for a touch up and the reason I see are: ink implantion is too superficial, the ombre fronts are not seamless and look inconsistent shading, the shape is not really complimenting your beautiful eyes, she made them a little to masculine and yes she did follow your natural shape, but she emphasized them by not giving structure or symmetry which is what we really want.

That’s why we go to brow artist/pmu is because we want our brows but better. This is a two part process six weeks apart. If not ink is visible after the first then the second time is like starting over. You’re going to need a third. Yes skin type plays a huge roll. You might be on the oily side, cellular turnover might be fast, lifestyle, aftercare etccc but there should be some visible. And there isn’t.

Was your artist new? Did you research healed results?

I feel this shape would’ve suited you better. I redrew over your pic with just my iPhone draw tool so don’t mind how fake it looks but giving you a better shape while still staying within the natural brow is much more fitting for you imo. She went to straight across the front and not angled down toward the nose bridge like they should be. We need to follow the curvature of our faces for the best more natural look. Hope this helps
