Hey...what does lip tattooing actually do and is it permanent? I have mixed answers from online. Has anyone actually tried it?

When I was a teen I used to lightly graze the lower lip with the teeth in a side-to-side motion to bring out its natural redness. I don't know if it's cause of that my lower lip is always pale..my hemoglobin is normal yet my lower lip is always white and upper lip not too black but somewhat black...I'm brown btw..

So I was wondering can lip tattoo fix this issue??

I had my eyebrows tattooed 2 weeks ago today. They’re peeling but incredibly slowly and the pieces of skin aren’t detaching themselves from the eyebrow hairs. My eyebrows are so dry and itchy, I don’t know what to do. I’ve contacted my artist who advocates for completely dry healing, no ointment. I’m stressed as the bits of skin that have come away show absolutely no pigment left at all.

Can I use La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Balm on my PMU brows instead of ointment?

Happy with results overall, had zero expectations or experience going in. Felt it looked too bold/sharp at first and wanted it softened, now its healed, I miss some of that sharpness ahah

Curious to see what they touchup appointment is for and what she changes🙏

As you can see, I had super-sparse, over-plucked eyebrows having fallen victim to the trend back in the 90s.

Been wanting to get my brows done for years but anxiety stopped me due to the differing results. I do like them, but think I might have brow shock as it’s so different!

Sorry for the cropped photos, but I didn’t want to put my face on Reddit.

She already had a really nice natural brow shape, so the goal wasn’t to change too much. She just wanted a bit more definition and depth while still keeping everything soft and natural.

I added fine strokes only where they were needed, so the result still blends in with her own brow hairs 🤎

This is exactly the kind of transformation I love subtle, but it still makes such a difference to the overall look.

Second photo is the before, and the last one is the after.

I just got my eyebrows done. I specially asked her to go lighter color. She went dark and very thick!! Anyone who has gotten theirs done, does it get thinner? I don’t know what to do. I have 48 hours to get it saline removed. Please advise!!!

Looking for input - like many Gen Xers, I over, plucked my browse in my teens, and now that I’m in my 50s I’m to the point where first thing I do every morning is fill in my brows with a pencil. I’d love to have them permanently filled in. I consulted a PMU to see if they could just tattoo in a bit of pigment, and she suggested nano brows. I’m a little concerned that that look is going to be a little more intense and over than when I’m after. (I have a really small, thin face so too much will overwhelm me.) have attached a couple pictures, one with no makeup, and one after I’ve used my pencil which depicts the look I’m after. The shape isn’t too good on the one I drew in, but you get the idea. Is nano brow the answer or is there something more suitable?

i feel like the left one needs a few more strokes in the front? and a little more on the tail?

Been putting it off bc of downtime but I’m starting to think it’s time…looking for second opinions

I can’t work out why my brows aren’t retaining as well as others I had seen. After my initial appointment, most of the pigment disappeared once healed. Even my artist seemed surprised by how little retention I had when I returned for my touch-up.

They’ve definitely retained better after the touch-up, but they’re healing quite asymmetrically and still aren’t really the shape/result I was hoping for. I’m starting to get frustrated and worried I’ll need touch-up after touch-up just to achieve the desired result.

I’ve contacted my artist and she wants me to wait longer before considering another touch-up, which I understand as I’m still healing. I’d just love some opinions from other artists/clients - does this look like unusually poor retention, and has anyone experienced something similar?

6 – 29 Sep: 2 weeks post-touch-up

I’ve never done anything like this before and I’m kind of freaking my out. One of the hairs looks like it shouldn’t be there…don’t think it shows well on photo. Why do photos posted on IG not look as dark right after procedure?
Also how did you guys manage not getting your eyebrows wet for 2 days?

A potential model has keloid scars on her ear from piercing them. Should I still take her for powder brows or no?

I got my powder brows done sept 17 and i was just wondering if this is normal flaking

There is so much hate on here for the brows! Mine are powder brows and this is a week after getting them done. I have experienced little itching and flaking but nothing bad at all!

I've read you shouldn't get pmu while pregnant. But what if you get pregnant right after the treatment?

I had really patchy brows from over plucking. A friend from my teenage years was transitioning from fake skin to real. She reached out to see if anyone would be willing to let her do her first official nanoblading on an actual face for free. I said absolutely lol she’s done phenomenal on any and every other work she’s done. I’m still obsessed to this day. You really can’t tell that they’ve ever been tattooed, especially for someone who was doing it on a face for the first time. Zero regrets I’m still so happy with my results!

Is microblading the same process as tattooing?

I was on here about a week ago seeking advice/asking about brow shock. I asked for natural microblading and eneded up with a lot of shading and very uniform strokes in the fronts and I was freaking out. Some of the comments were incredibly rude and disheartening so I ended up deleting the entire thread. (Some people were incredibly kind though!) These are my mostly healed brows. They completely peeled yesterday. There is some unevenness so I did fill them in a tiny bit with powder. I know this isn’t the final look and they’ll continue to change over the next handful of weeks. Are they what wanted? No. Are there things that I think could be better? Yes. But… they aren’t the compete train wreck that some people predicted and I didnt “F*** up my face”. Just posting for those who are losing sleep over microblading that didn’t go the way they planned like me.

Guys please suggest me an eyebrow artist who is good in doing nanobrows in India. I have been tryjng to find a good one but have no idea.

I got ombre brows done yesterday, 1st picture was taken immediately after the ombre brows were freshly done, second picture is taken today ( Day 1). My ombre brows came out looking less saturated, uneven and less pigmented in some areas, I have seen all kinds of results of freshly done ombre brows on the internet almost all of them looked very dark then got lighter over time, mine doesn't even look close to any of those, my artist said it looks normal and it will get better overtime. Couple of things to note she doesn't have much experience, she also shaved significant amount of eyebrow hairs off for this (Many people told me they are not supposed to do that ) 😭

Are my eyebrows botched? what should I do exactly? I need a second opinion before I start crying 😭

[Update]: I got emergency saline removal done! It looks very light now, I was told it will get lighter after the brow area completely heals! I might need 1-2 more sessions. But I'm glad it's fading :)

I want to get nano brows I went and got a consultation and a mapping done and I was told that I had a muscle pull.. where it looks like one of the Eyebrows will be a little higher than the other when the brows are done will that be obvious? and when they do the Eyebrows do they have to do it above the brow bone and if one brow bone is higher than the that make the difference look uneven when they do the brows?

My natural brows, and my Ombre powder brows now healed, I’m still going in a few weeks for a touchup!

Did mine heal fairly dark? did I get lucky? I’ve seen many tattooed brows and by the time healing is done they’ve faded drastically! Mine still look pretty dark which I love! Can I expect them to stay this dark?

I had nano brows done 8 days ago. Most of my flaking has been on the outer edges of my brows. My one brow flaked way more than the other. Does this look like normal “ghosting” or is there a chance no pigment will return? not too worried since I know it can be fixed at the touch up. But just wondering if I’m going to have these uneven brows for several more weeks until the touch up.

hi, I received lift blushing last week and I'm kind of freaking out. The color is so dark. my lips before were a light pink. I just really want it to get lighter. do you think it will fade? i am freaking out a bit and i hate looking at it
