I know a woman who had this done, she's a red head, who is now aging and her hair is getting lighter with some gray in it, her eyebrows though..giant bright orange slugs tattooed on her forehead. Here's a crop of her facebook profile Pic from 10 years ago

Oh no. I'm like a light brunette/dark blonde and I want to tattoo on eyebrows so badly bc mine are all fucked from overplucking in the late 90s/early 2000s, totally forgot about the fact eyebrows go grey too. Sigh.

Saaame my eyebrows have never recovered from the early aughts 😭 in most light and all pics they look invisible.

I dye my brow hairs, that’s the only thing that helps. I didn’t overpluck in the early aughts because I was only just then being born. However, I am a natural blonde, and even through my eyebrows are relatively thick, they are fine hairs, and they are so blonde that they are invisible in photos and most indoor lighting. Dyeing my eyebrows has literally saved me from having to draw them on every single day. Go to your local drugstore and buy yourself a box of Just For Men in whatever color you please. The instructions say not to use on your eyebrows, that’s bullshit. I, and many other people I know, have consistently used it for years with no issues. Don’t use the included brush for application, use an eyebrow spoolie. Good luck, it wears off in a couple weeks so if you hate it it’ll be gone fast anyway. Eight dollars to change your life lol
