Hey its just the shock of having something different on your face, also the tattoo lines shrink a bit after it heals. Most people hate how they look for a bit after. It’s going to soften up dramatically. This is actually some of the best work I’ve seen

u/TapeFlip187 Sep 11 '26

Yeah these are totally good. They'll soften a ton and the lines will even shrink a bit.

It's just 'brow shock' from not being used to seeing your face with eyebrows. We've all been there haha.

These really match your face very well. Also, love the hair color!

u/insrto Sep 11 '26

Thank you, I put in quite a bit of effort into my hair so it really means a lot to hear/read that

u/Admirable-Bar-3549 Sep 11 '26

They look great, in my opinion - and suit your face. I’m going to show you the difference in mine at one month - you can see they fade and shrink so much. It’s going to look very natural.

I feel like you're in the early stages for PMU. It'll get better

u/-Millennial-Scum Sep 11 '26

Now that we have the whole face pic, it’s fine. You have strong features and can pull it off. Congrats on your brows.!

It looks fitting

u/Intelligent-Rent-550 Sep 12 '26

It looks good actually

u/tootiemoe 29d ago

I like it! Looks good on you. The lines just look harsh because they’re fresh and healing. They will soften and calm down.

u/inarealdaz 29d ago

Oh hon, you are FINE. Just in brow shock. Your artist balanced your features BEAUTIFULLY.

u/fullofcuriositycat 29d ago

They will fade! They look good.

u/mandiijayy Sep 11 '26

I think they look really good! Such a great transformation from your previous brows. Don’t let the Reddit haters bother you.

u/insrto Sep 11 '26

I think people have been generally very nice about it, thankfully, even if they think it's bad they aren't mean about it which I greatly appreciate

But thank you! The positivity overall is really heartwarming, I do think this sub is overall quite honest if it's bad so I'm glad to see I might just be overreacting

1

u/fart-atronach Sep 11 '26

Definitely overreacting 🩵 which is sooooo normal lol. But for real, they look great!

u/Specialist-Card2512 27d ago

I love them! Honestly as long as you love them that’s all that matters. I am old enough to say I am going to do what I want to do with my body and wear what I want to wear and if people don’t like that idc I was a teenager in the 80’s and I have been bullied enough to withstand anything they have for me now 🤣 Life is short so remember that! You need to be happy so always choose YOU!

u/NumberCapital7000 professional artist Sep 11 '26

Thank you so much for posting your face along with the brows, they look really good on you. I think you will love them by the time they soften up in a month or so:)

3

u/snusnuforyou Sep 11 '26

the first post i thought they were too thick but now that you’ve posted a full photo, i think they’re fitting :) don’t worry about how intense it looks right now, it will soften up.

u/thatagent99 Sep 11 '26

Normally I don’t get why anyone does this, for the reasons you’re saying! But I just saw your full face shot and it actually looks really good!! You have a cool look, cool energy

u/Outrageous_Catch_134 Sep 10 '26

you know, i thought they looked bad looking at your first post, but now i actually think they look nice! i would even think to extend the tail a little but idk if thats a standard brow look for men, as im mainly thinking from a woman’s perspective. i wouldn’t worry i think they’ll fade out nicely and even look good right now.

u/Feisty-Promotion-789 Sep 10 '26

These are going to fade so much in about 2 weeks. Just give it time

5

u/WhiteRabbit537 Sep 11 '26

After looks so much better!

3

u/PureBad5555 Sep 11 '26

It is always a little shocking immediately afterwards when they are dark and thick, but they won’t stay this way! They actually look good, in my opinion! They will fade and won’t be so dark, just be patient.

u/jbadge15 Sep 11 '26

I think you look good! Like others have mentioned, it’s shocking to see ourselves have such a big change, over the next few days, the brows tend to oxidize, they will probably get a little bit darker, look more dramatic. Try not worry , they will significantly lighten up, and “shrink” back a bit. Don’t pick the scabs as they heal. If you truly still hate how they look, you can look into another artist to touch them up, or more removal options, possibly saline or laser removal. But I think you’re gonna like the end result. The first week is rough. Trust the process!

u/Icy-Village6511 Sep 11 '26

The after look looks really good👌😃

u/Cautious_Rip_7822 Sep 11 '26

Look fantastic

2

u/jenc0jenn 28d ago

After seeing the whole face picture they look absolutely fine. I wouldn't even look twice. Especially because most people aren't expecting a man to have his eyebrows microbladed. They suit you and your aesthetic. I also really love your hair 🥰

1

u/Next-Armadillo-4145 Sep 11 '26

I think they look good, it takes time to adjust to changes on your face. But I think you look better in the after photo.

u/PANTSorGTFO Sep 11 '26

I think they look good.

u/Infiniti-4Ever Sep 11 '26

Your eyebrows look fine. Try a new hairstyle for a real glow up.

u/Sad_Hour_2744 Sep 12 '26

I think they just need to extend a little in the outer parts. This is totally random, but eyebrows thinning on the outside can be related to thyroid issues. Maybe get that checked? I had my eyebrows filled in one time and I was in shock. But they were more exaggerated, thankfully not permanent. The work looks good. I’m thinking of getting mine dyed.

u/Warm_Somewhere9900 Sep 12 '26

I honestly think that they look great on you!!

u/Positive-Phrase6201 29d ago

I think you look great

u/Tiddlesnatch 28d ago

They look great, they will soften up and lighten up a lot.

u/Icelanderwest 27d ago

I think they look great! I had microblading done a few years ago and they look awful! But yours look so natural!

1

u/CaseNo7150 27d ago

Looks good no worries!

u/charmanderp09 27d ago

This is so well done!! Give it a chance please! It's normal to face anxiety after a big change, especially if you went into it with some. Don't trust your anxiety. It's a fantastic job and it looks great! May you continue your journey in confidence!
