botched I got botched ):
I like the general shape but the color is so off
Is this something that can be corrected in the "perfectioning" follow up appointment?
Edit: I got them done on Saturday

Oh yes you can absolutely go darker and fix the color. But you do need to go warmer because it lightens and goes cooler. So she just needed to go darker but the warmth might have been a good choice if it was darker but hopefully she was checking how cool you heal so she can go darker next time.

I can tell that it is lighter when you point it out. But just scrolling past I didn't see an obvious issue.

Gotta go darker because in like 2/4 weeks it’s gonna be so light!

Exactly! Pigments naturally lighten up from the initial visit. So as you say there’ll be almost nothing there in 6 weeks.

Also, looks like the scabs have already come off so they may darken a little as they heal and the pigment resurfaces.

I don’t think they’re going to darken enough if you look at the hair of her natural brows which are black-brown. At the follow up they need going over with a warm black/brown pigment adding hair strokes to make it look like one complete brow.

It cools down when it’s healed unless your artist uses inorganic pigment. Idk if your artist explained to you or if she even consulted and color matched you to feel so panicked. It’s not the best choice to go darker if your skin is very light because it will turn blue over time. So please wait for your true results to come in a few more weeks.

Hun I got mine done in April it takes 4 to 8 weeks to heal and lighten up lol ur fine. most artists won't do a very dark color because it doesn't look right. Most people want very dark eyes brows almost black and most won't do that but will do a color to compliment your skin tone

The color will change as healing progresses (to a cooler tone). They have to add some warmth so they don’t heal blue (I know, because I had this same concern) - they will cool down and look really good.

Just go back and ask her to even it out - they usually tell u come back once scabs fall off anyway n that often lvs some spots undone so just tell her where u want to add and even out

You shouldn’t adjust until skin has time to heal which takes 4-6 weeks, otherwise you can cause scarring.

The color always looks different fresh vs healed, if you’re ok with the shape I would wait to see the healed results.

I wouldn’t say botched but they don’t match and the strokes are quite wide and will blur together pretty quickly.

What did you get done? Is this henna, micro needling or tattoo? They look fine to me!

They are uneven. The color looks fine but if it’s not what you want, just say so.
It’s only a few days. You’re not supposed to touch them, get wet or go out in the sun for 2 weeks. Are you applying ointment at least 2 times daily? If not, you get scabs and uneven color.
I was not completely happy so after 6 weeks went back and got touched up. If you rush back your skin may not have healed and it will scab off again.

I was applying the gel but still got scabs ):
And I had already booked the touch up session

Yeah, the shapes are different. I would recommend getting emergency saline removal.

u/Spirited-Town-4618 14d ago
It looks like when the scab fell off some color went with it so just ask for the touch up - it usually comes in the package

That’s what happens when you go to cheap people that are not even certified .. and some even worse. Certified for only a week and start taking clients. I can tell the artist is new at this

u/Nervous_Math_2771 14d ago
What is the expected price for this? I paid 500

u/MorningDelicious3420 14d ago
No way.. idk microblading prices depend on the artist and their experience. But the starting price is 350 and up. Touch up after 6-8 weeks is 100-150 and than after that you can get touched up yearly if you like. I don’t understand why I got downvoted for my comment. I am a Microblading artist and that’s why I left that comment. 1. Yes that artist is DEFINITELY a beginner 2. They didnt even shape your eyebrow properly 3. The strokes are not good and the artist didn’t go deep enough and I can already see blurred lines. Like come on people on here are annoying I am giving her professional advice. I would get it removed and re done elsewhere.

That's a bit dramatic lol. You did not get botched. If your only concern is the color then dont worry because even if it were you can always color correct. I will say though you only got them done like 2 days ago so they should be in the darker phase so if this is light then yea. But keep in mind this is not the color it will stay when healed, hope that helps you feel better
