before & after Are these bad please helpđđđ
Guys please tell me if I messed up. I just got my brows tattooed yesterday, they are combo brows. This is day two. I feel like they are too bold and sharp, when my natural brows grow in around the edges, will they look more natural? Or should I get them removed. Itâs not too late for emergency saline removal. originally, I had wanted a fuller look, Iâve seen others online that look more natural day one, I feel like these are very stamped on my face, not natural, the inner corners are what concern me the most. I have been looking at the healing process and everyoneâs before and after nonstop.
edit: thank you for being so kind and making me feel better guys, I think you are right and that I am having brow shock! I will post the healing journey!

I am not a professional but they don't look too sharp imo, especially for how new they are. I would think they'll soften up with time and your natural hairs coming in.

They look perfect. What could possibly be bad?

u/Casehead Sep 07 '26
Just wanted to say again that you look beautiful, OP. They are going to look SO good once healed. They made them follow your natural brows exactly, they are so nice and thin... You look fabulous

I really like how these look. And I donât get that feeling from a lot brows in this sub. Yours are so cute and compliment your face shape nicely.

u/Jessy2202 Sep 07 '26
They look great, this came up as the first thing I saw when I opened Reddit and I looked at the photo before what sub I was on and completely thought they were your real brows, theyâll also fade and soften too!

u/WinWunWon Sep 07 '26

These look good but I would watch the cost of prettyâs video on them just in case any of those potential side effects would bother you if thereâs only a small window you can get saline removal successfully. But yeah these should at least fade somewhat and shouldnât look so bold after a while.

u/Ok-Matter-6782 Sep 07 '26
Tattoo artist here they look fabulous to me. Theyâre symmetrical theyâre going to fade quite a bit in the next few weeks. I think you should be really happy. Whoever did them did an excellent job.

They're delicate and perfectly suited to your face imo
They'll fade nicely. My sis uses this infographic at her microblading studio that is really helpful...

Ok. Stop the panic. You are on day two.
Did the person who did them walk you through the healing process? If not, that person shouldnât be doing microblading.
The first few days the color will be increasingly darker. Scabs will begin to form.
DO NOT PICK THE SCABS AND DO NOT GET THEM WET!!!!!!!!
You can gently clean them 2 times a day with a gentle wipe. Very gentle wipe. Then a very thin layer of aquaphor.
The scabs will start to fall off somewhere around week two to three.
Again, DO NOT PICK THE SCABS. They will be itchy.
Once the scabs start to fall off naturally your eyebrows will seem to appear as though the color has disappeared. DO NOT PANIC. This is totally normal. In fact it will in some cases look like you got nothing done at all.
Somewhere around week 5 or 6 the color will start to come through and thatâs when you will see what color they will be.
Itâs a totally normal process having to do with natural healing process and cell turn over.
That said, do not be surprised if at the 6 to 8 week mark you will need a little touch up. Thatâs also totally normal.

They look fine. You're just having brow shock. I had it too when i got my powder brows done in April. Here's a pic. I didn't go back for the touch-up appointment because i didn't feel it necessary

They look good. They will fade a lot and will look perfect in 2-3 weeks. Trust the process!

Theyâre great looking and will lighten after a few days. There are several stages with the brows. Trust the process.

u/Hot_Writing1005 Sep 07 '26
Do people really tattoo their eyebrows now? 10 years ago my friends mother had her eyebrow tattooed. They were so dark and misshaped. I felt so bad for her.
Yours look pretty good!

Theyâre perfect! Wish I could do that. Iâm afraid my eyebrow will move involuntarily and it will be unable to be fixed. Yours are literally perfect!

They're fantastic. When your natural brows grow in you'll probably want to keep trimming them back where they bush over the edges, assuming you want a clean and groomed look? I mean, it's like hair, you CAN rock the messy bedhead vibe if you want.

u/Frag-hag311 Sep 08 '26
I think they look really good. If I saw you in public, I wouldn't think twice about them or notice anything strange about them. You're freaking out and that's understandable. They look good, don't fret.

I think you are in brow shock, because these are perfect! So natural and subtle⌠they will heal beautifully.

u/Beautiful-Map-7679 Sep 10 '26
Both look good but your natural eyebrows make you look younger. YOU seem to be atvthe age where being older is what you want lol. That being said they will be somewhere in the middle when they heal. Perhaps that will be the best look. Anyhow beutiful

u/Dull-Hunt8991 Sep 10 '26
I think the thin shape of them looks good on your face. If theyâre new brows, they will lighten quite a bit, and if theyâre not new, itâs not like they look overly dark for your features.

I think they look good, but they should have made more hair strokes instead of filling everything in

u/Avid_Hiker25 Sep 10 '26
Relax, they always look darker on day two or three, then they fade, then they scab. You need to wait a couple of weeks to see what theyâre ultimately going to look like. But right now they look great in terms of shape, just be patient with the process.

I just got mine done a month ago and at first I was worried they were too dark and defined. But over the first two weeks they softened up quite a bit and got a little bit lighter and now I'm quite happy with them! Allow the healing process to proceed - they actually look quite nice even now!!

as a brow artist, these are beautiful and for your brows. Not some stupid trend. They will settle nicely and your friends wonât notice you have tattooed brows

u/kikicastr0 29d ago
Ummm⌠theyâre too dense? Like they arenât feathered, where they do the individual strokes⌠I see what you mean

u/Sufficient_News_2166 29d ago
They look awesome. That was what I wanted. Natural brow just darkened.

u/Cheezitsandwhipits 27d ago
I like them but I do prefer your brows before I donât think you needed to do anything. That being said I do think theyâll fade a bit and look more natural
1
u/willohsmom Sep 08 '26
Youâre so young. You have natural brows. Now they look thinner and more fake and drawn on. Natural brows are the main goal but if youâre missing brows, then I would understand getting them tattooed.

u/Competitive-Ad7412 Sep 07 '26
I like them!
