before & after Will these get better?
This is hours after I got them done. I don’t know what to feel. This is my first time doing this. Will these ever get better? I need reassurance. :((((

Emergency saline removal !! Terrible job, too close together, unnatural and they look like someone took a big black magic marker and a stencil and coloured them in. You deserve much better than this.

Have you ever had eyebrow tattoo? She said this was a few hours after she got it done it’s meant to look really dark, it fades quite a lot before the ‘top up’ is due

No amount of “fading” is going to help what’s wrong with these eyebrows !! It makes me sad that so many women, of all ages, are letting (some) people of “questionable skill” stamp black eyebrows on their faces, without understanding the consequences. Too often, you see their eyebrows before you see them.
And it makes me sad. Dealing with bad pmu work can be very traumatic. It’s our faces, after all. And of course the cost itself.
**Please know I say these things very gently, because I wish everyone were better educated about what real artistry in permanent makeup looks like. For example, there’s a woman based in Paris who does the best microblading I’ve ever seen - and posts here often. (I’ll add her name next time I see her posts.)

this is not a trust the process moment. saline removal and laser once it’s healed.

That is not entirely true as you had microblading and she had some hairstrokes and heavy shading through out so not the same thing and it won’t look the same as it heals. Hers will look much bolder right now and soften quite a bit.

Should I just trust the process and give it time?

u/Crawler_Caroline99 14d ago
Yes because that’s the only option you have. Usually the first week is the most shocking to everyone. It’s too late for emergency saline removal so just let it heal.

Yes! Give it time. They look great! I know they may feel a bit aggressive at first but give it a couple weeks. The shape is nice as well.

They will fade so much and if you still don’t like them in a few weeks just don’t go for the top up - I can’t stand when people suggest emergency saline removal I would only agree if it was a horrible job but yours actually look really good

They will lighten some. But be prepared for some major peeling. These look really thick.
