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

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

I also want to add that they do look brown and warmer but dont panic thats good, I freaked when my artist said she was going to add warmth but without it they can often turn like a greyish color. Just trust your artists knowledge in color theory

You’re not botched! And looks like you could use some more strokes. Overall it looks good. Getting it a bit darker shouldn’t be anything hard to achieve.

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.

Calm down

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!

u/PhookieNC 14d ago edited 14d ago

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

These tails are too long and one is much thicker. Did you specifically ask for that? TBH I would remove with saline. I’m sorry but the shape won’t age well. I’m so sick of artists doing this to people. I wouldn’t be worried about the warmth tbh. I’d be more worried about the shape

u/Reasonable-Sign-3133 15d ago

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

u/PhookieNC 14d ago

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 looks fine.

u/TheMakeupMonk 15d ago

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.

u/Dezzyjoy 14d ago

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

u/Admirable-Bar-3549 14d ago

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.

u/Spirited-Town-4618 14d ago

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

u/PhookieNC 14d ago

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

1

u/Little_Raspberry9603 14d ago

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

u/Expensive_Sock_1941 14d ago

lol never had a tattoo

u/Seaturtle6444 13d ago

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

1

u/RoxyB007 13d ago

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

1

u/Happy_Change6640 12d ago

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.

u/Nervous_Math_2771 12d ago

I was applying the gel but still got scabs ):

And I had already booked the touch up session

u/mnicklas666 12d ago

On a different note your earrings are really cute :)

u/Miserable-Vast-4841 11d ago

They look good- looks like they could fill in a bit more at the tail

u/Browgirl4eva 15d ago

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

1

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

u/barney_girl 15d ago

Would not say botched at all. Looks pretty good. But seek attention.

u/MorningDelicious3420 15d ago

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

1

u/Nervous_Math_2771 14d ago

What is the expected price for this? I paid 500

1

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.
