TALK To Your Eyebrow Tattoo Artist First

Don't forget that your Eyebrow Tattoo Artist would want you to have the best eyebrows when working with you, even if the immediate result is not what you want, they tried their best. 

A consultation should always take place at the start of an Eyebrow Tattooing treatment for skin analysis, eyebrow mapping/shaping, and color selection. Most importantly, doing your diligence and research when looking for an Eyebrow Tattoo Artist is the best prevention in having unhappy tattooed eyebrows.

Post treatment, the color of your new eyebrow tattoo will fade up to 40%, leaving the healed result to be a lighter, more natural tone. So don't be too worried if your new eyebrow tattoos are too dark on the day of treatment. Similarly, on day one and two, they may appear even darker due to the lymph and excess fluid from open wound raising to the surface. Don't stress, the color will settle.

If you are un-happy about the shape and size of your new eyebrow tattoo, remember that post treatment, the tender areas around your eyes and eyebrows will be slightly swollen, also keeping in mind that once healed, the new eyebrow tattoos will shrink in size, so they will be smaller then what they appear to you right now.

The bad news is that you cannot remove your new eyebrow tattoos immediately or too soon following the eyebrow tattooing treatment. But, there are good news. The first good news is that there are things you can do to immediately promote the safe fading of your new eyebrow tattoo while they are healing.

Please note that it should not be taken as 

1. Warm Showers - twice a day for the next 5 days. The heat from the warm showers will promote the opening of your wounds, essentially drawing out the pigments from your unwanted, botched eyebrow tattoo. Extremely gentle massage in circular motions over your eyebrow areas may be applied with the very tip of your fingers in the shower. Always blot dry with a dry, clean tissue gently afterwards.

2. Rosehip Seed Oil - apply pure Rosehip Oil onto both eyebrows, 3 times a day for the next 2 weeks,  1-2 drops on each eyebrow. Massage the eyebrows gently using circular motions. The oil itself promotes gentle lifting of pigments from underneath the skin surface, whilst the nourishing agents within the Rosehip Oil will go further to aid the healing of your skin, minimising scarring tissues formation. Keep the area excessively moisturised with only natural products.

3. Sea Salt - Once a day for the next 10 days, mix crushed organic sea salt with luke warm water, use 2 clean cotton pads soaked and rinsed in this sea salt water mix to gently cleanse the unwanted eyebrow tattoo areas  in gentle, patting motion. Leave on for a couple of minutes. Take off and rinse clean with clean water. Pat dry with a dry clean tissue afterwards. Always be gentle to your skin. Do not repeat this method if your skin becomes too irritated.

• Do not be rough with the skin around your new tattooed eyebrows
