I finally got them!!! It was so nerve racking! The following day, every time I looked in the mirrior all I saw was EYEBROWS, HELLO!!!!!! I cried all day. I hated them! Then yesterday, I started to get used to them a little more and I definetly fell better now. They are a big scab right now, so they are still too dark. But, as soon as the scab goes anf they lighten, I'm sure I wil be happy. Its actually nice to look in the mirror and see myself with eyebrows on after a shower, usually there is nothing. What do you people think?

I agree, if that is them in your profile pic they look awesome! I remember how much I hated mine when they were first done...they were so dark! But they do lighten heaps. MIne have actually faded too much after just a year - I have to go over them with make-up now just to make them dark enough :(

Jennifer,
Dont worry!! That happened to my friend that got them too!! They lightened up and get better. In fact, she had to to them over again because they were too light after a period of time. Trust me, you will adjust and like them fine. She loves her brows now. Just try to take it day to day and you'll be fine!!

I have had my eyebrows and eyeliner done. They are always really dark for a week and then look awesome. I love mine now. It is just so nice to have some kind of shape to your face when you don't have a wig or makeup on. Also avoiding that one eyebrow rubbed off look is a bonus! The first time I had the eyebrows done it lasted only a year, but then I had then redone at a different place (much better) and have only just had them touched up after 3 years! Enjoy your new look- you will look awesome.

My scabs are starting to come off, and it is waaaaay lighter. Yes, it is the brows int hat picture! I think I will be very happy, It took a couple of days, but I am used to them now!
I only got the hair stroked in only one of them, because I still had some hair on the other one?? Wierd? On my lashes, I have 1 eye with no lashes on top,and 1 eye with no lashes on the bottom??? anyone know why it is like that?

Jennifer, they look great in the picture! Congrats on being so brave and taking that chance - that's awesome!! I'm glad to hear you are happy with them now. Yeah...tattoos definitely take a while to look normal...definitely looks difference after the whole "scabby phase." I'm so happy for you!
