Attempts to improve your appearance are not always successful. Significant amount negative reviews present in relation to eyebrow tattooing. How can a procedure correcting the shape and color of eyebrow arches turn out and how realistic is it to correct the situation?
As reviews show, unsuccessful Permanent makeup may result not only from a mistake by the master, but also from the wishes of the client if he does not listen to the advice of professionals. Defects can be small or quite noticeable, significantly distorting the appearance. When answering the question of which tattoo is considered bad, it is worth highlighting 4 main options.
When is correction needed urgently?
The reasons for the deterioration of the appearance of eyebrows after tattooing may be as follows:
- Formation of small defects. Almost every master has such defects and usually accompany the primary correction procedure. After repeated tattooing, they are completely eliminated. We are talking about obtaining a slightly uneven contour, the presence of unpainted areas of the eyebrows or their slight asymmetry.
- Unexpected shape of eyebrow arches. Judging by a number of before and after photos, the result of the correction may be eyebrows located at different heights, having different widths or lengths. If there is only a shape of the arches that does not live up to expectations, you have to temporarily come to terms with the result obtained, since it is possible to correct an unsuccessful tattoo only after healing is complete skin.
- Eyebrow color does not match expectations. Negative changes may appear immediately or after some time. Sometimes after tattooing, the dye changes shade, as a result, black becomes blue, brown – red or pink colors. As a rule, such phenomena occur when dye intended for tattoos is used.
- Eyebrow thinning. Tattooing done poorly can sometimes cause hair loss in the eyebrow area. This reaction is purely individual and often does not depend on whether hair growth stimulating agents were used or not.
Omitting permanent makeup with facial tissue is another common error in salon tattooing. But in in this case we cannot talk about an unsuccessful procedure, since the main reason for negative changes is age-related aging skin, loss of elasticity. Typically, such a defect appears if the tattoo remains for more than 3 years.
Ways to solve the problem
Correcting permanent makeup is not an easy, but completely achievable task. The choice of option to eliminate the deficiency depends on the type of illness and existing opportunities:
1. Those with fairly dark and naturally thick eyebrows can hide an unsuccessful tattoo by growing hairs. This possibility is realized when the filled line is within the growth of the eyebrow arches.
2. Re-tattooing. This option is a great opportunity to correct minor flaws and even out the color. It is important that after the first session there is room for such maneuvers. You can repeat it only after the skin has completely healed.
3. Interrupting unsuccessful permanent makeup. Typically, such a measure is required after performing an evening tattoo, which turns out to be unsuitable for everyday use. Such a procedure can only be done by a professional master, so it is offered only in large cities.
4. Using a special corrector. A thick correction pencil, through which dark paint will not show through, can correct a bad job. The manipulations will have to be repeated daily.
5. Application of brightening emulsion. Its purpose is to gradually fade color bad tattoo. This correction is considered one of the most gentle options. If tattooing and shading was performed, this method appears to be among the preferred ones.
6. Performing dermabrasion. We are talking about a procedure that is used to correct flaws even after tattooing. The method is considered as the only possible one when laser radiation and aggressive chemicals cause severe irritation eyebrow skin. The disadvantage of dermabrasion is the high risk of scar formation.
7. Tattoo Remover. This method of correcting unsightly eyebrow tattooing is quite risky due to the aggressiveness of the composition used. Along with neutralization and removal of pigment from the skin, damage to surrounding tissue occurs. In addition, it is possible to obtain results only when the remover is introduced to the same depth as the pigment. Best effect achieved if the drug is injected along the pigment stripes. This possibility is present when using the hair tattoo technique.
Separately, it is worth considering tattoo correction using a laser. What is unique about the progressive technique?
Features of laser correction
The use of a laser beam is recommended to correct blemishes in various situations, including when eyebrow tattooing is done with shading. Number of complications and side effects from the procedure is minimal and provided the right choice laser Negative consequences are excluded completely. Professionals advise treatment with a special Nd:YAG laser, which preserves the structure of the hair follicles and burns only the pigment without damaging the skin.
Removing defects in permanent eyebrow decoration using a laser is possible in two options:
- By radically cleansing the skin until white.
- By partially removing pigment to make it possible to correct the color or shape of the tattoo.
To implement the first method, at least 4 sessions are required (sometimes their number reaches 10). It is important that they are performed at least once a month, so there can be no talk of quick results. In a fairly short period of time, pigments of cool shades are eliminated from upper layers skin, then there is a slow lightening of deep-lying pigments. As reviews show, the final effect is achieved only after a year.
Experts say that only a few laser procedures appears to be sufficient for a noticeable change in color if initially introduced a large number of bright pigment. Therefore, after achieving a lasting result, if further sessions do not give a visible effect, most artists recommend planning a repeat tattoo.
Situations cannot be ruled out when laser correction allows you to achieve the desired eyebrow color. For example, eye-catching purple or dark gray shade after treatment with a laser beam it can turn into a dark brown tone, acceptable for most women.
A correction that should be abandoned immediately
The only option that masters do not recommend for consideration in any situation is covering up the dark pigment by using white or flesh paint. The result obtained will only be temporary, and even the laser used after the correction will not ensure the removal of light beige pigment from the skin. Other disadvantages of this procedure include:
1. A rapid change from a beige tone to an unpleasant yellowish tint, which becomes too pronounced on the skin.
2. Transmission of dark pigment through the applied body paint.
As you can see, in this way the problem is not solved, but only worsened. Therefore, such a measure is not offered in professional salons.
A competently executed tattoo can permanently relieve its owner from daily routine manipulations to give perfect shape to your eyebrows. However, reality does not always live up to expectations.
Is it possible to correct eyebrow tattooing?
Most often, correction of flaws in permanent makeup is required when a specialist who does not have sufficient theoretical knowledge and experience takes on the work. Those ladies who have suffered this invariably have a question: is it possible to fix a tattoo and how to do it?
Fortunately, incorrectly applied makeup is not a death sentence, but how difficult it will be to correct it depends on each specific situation.
First, let’s look at the reasons why the result may disappoint the client:
- minor flaws - slight uneven lines, poorly painted and slightly asymmetrical areas of the eyebrows;
- unfortunate shape, for example, string eyebrows;
- errors in the selection of pigment, and often the shade of the dye used changes over time to gray, blue, green and even red (the final result also depends on the characteristics of the organism);
- hair loss – occurs due to fake dye;
- incorrectly chosen application method;
- after tattoo.
How to fix a bad eyebrow tattoo
Small flaws, for example, too dark tone eyebrows can be changed at home using a special suspension, which will lighten the hairs within a few weeks of regular use.
It also depends on how deep the pigment was introduced initially. When you contact a beauty salon, you will most likely be offered two options for correcting unsuccessful permanent coloring.
- Color correction is performed using a concentrated chemical solution, which is injected under the skin through microscopic punctures. The liquid and pigment react and the dye comes to the surface, after which it is removed. The procedure requires the utmost care and responsibility of the master. It takes place in several stages, since the whole process causes unpleasant pain in clients.
- more serious consequences of an incorrectly performed procedure.

How to fix eyebrow tattoo with laser
Laser is the most modern and expensive method of correcting defects. It allows you to remove paint partially or completely. The occurrence of complications or side effects while being kept to a minimum.
Principles of working with laser:
- Both the master and the patient wear special glasses. The cosmetologist treats the eyebrow area with an antiseptic.
- The rays of the device, directed at the face, penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis and destroy dye particles without violating the integrity of the skin. However, it is possible that discomfort such as tingling and pinching.
- How many sessions will be needed to get rid of the permanent depends on its brightness. Usually 5–10 procedures are required. But since the intervals between them are at least 4 weeks, complete removal tattooing can take about a year.
- After laser treatment, the skin may become red and inflamed, but after a couple of days the swelling gradually goes away.
Lately I've started looking enviously at girls with tattoos. This is how much time you can save when your eyes have eternal arrows, your eyebrows fly out, and you just need to swipe gloss on your lips to make them look appetizing!
Tattooing really helps girls look perfect no matter the time of day. The only thing that stops me on the way to the salon is the risk of not getting the result I want. Unfortunately, there is a possibility of falling into the hands of a non-professional and “decorating” your face with overly saturated arrows irregular shape, get spread pigment on the eyelids, the wrong eyebrow shade or uneven lip border.

Today, there are three options for “working on mistakes” in case of unsuccessful tattooing:
- use for correction of pigments that can neutralize the shade;
- physiotherapeutic method of laser tattoo correction and removal;
- a chemical method in which a remover is used. Since this method has appeared relatively recently, opinions regarding its effectiveness are mixed.
Tattoo removal
Tattoo removal can only be done with a laser. The proposal to “fill in” the eyebrows with the help of body or any other pigment should be categorically rejected. The fact is that paints are made up of several components, for example, the same flesh color from red, white and yellow. Under the influence of the sun, the colors gradually fade, each with its own intensity. As a result, over time, instead of flesh tone An incomprehensible color appears on the skin, which does not decorate anyone.
Laser tattoo removal by a professional tattoo artist guarantees the absence of scars after completion of the procedures. When treating skin, it is important to adjust the laser so that it penetrates exactly to the depth of the pigment and destroys it without affecting the surrounding tissue.
Lip tattoo correction
The main mistakes when applying lip tattoos are too bright shade, errors in shape, areas of blue. Since lips are the most visible part of the face, it is not always possible to hide an unsuccessful tattoo with cosmetics.
If you are not satisfied with the resulting color, experts advise trying to correct it using neutralizing pigments, since using a laser on the lips is a rather painful procedure. In addition, under the influence of a laser beam, lips can acquire a gray or earthy tint, and given that the procedure will require not one, but several at intervals of about a month, clients agree to go with swampy lips as a last resort.
To correct lip tattoos, in addition to color correction, you can use chemical method. In this case, a substance is injected under the skin using a tattoo machine that can neutralize the paint and bring it out. Several procedures will be required to completely remove the pigment.
Eyebrow tattoo correction
Sometimes when tattooing eyebrows due to individual characteristics organism, they acquire a reddish or, by mistake of the master, a too dark or greenish tint. In the first case, one laser session is enough to discolor the red pigment and give the eyebrows a gray tint, which can be easily corrected to any desired color. To correct the eyebrows in the second situation, at least two laser sessions will be required, after which the eyebrows will become flesh-colored, but may not match the skin tone.
Correction of eyebrow tattoo may be required several years after application, since eyebrows tend to spread and “sink” over time. Such errors can be corrected using a laser.
Eye tattoo correction
The arrows on the eyelids may turn out to be too long and wide, asymmetrical, with blots and streaks. Laser correction at monthly intervals will help correct all these imperfections. The likelihood of scars appearing in this area is reduced to zero.
It will be possible to do without a laser when the eyebrows can be lengthened, made a little wider and changed their shape with the help of re-tattooing.
It is possible to correct the errors of an unsuccessful tattoo, but to do this you need to be patient and do not count on quick results and select a specialist for correction especially carefully.

Dream-dream. And now it came true. The tattoo artist hands you a mirror, you look at your new eyebrows and... There are a variety of options here, including unexpected ones. Problems with the quality of permanent eyebrow makeup may become noticeable some time after the procedure. If the result is not satisfactory, then the failed tattoo can be corrected or removed.
Why you might not like the result
To have a substantive conversation about how to fix a bad tattoo, we first give a list of reasons why the client may not like new eyebrows.
- Minor defects.
Especially often, small defects can be noticed after the first procedure before correction. This may be a slightly uneven contour, unpainted areas of the eyebrows, slight asymmetry, etc.
- Unexpected eyebrow shape.
Eyebrows may not be the shape that was intended; they may be located at different heights, have different lengths or widths.
Usually, in case of failure, the master asks the client to “get used to” her new eyebrows. In this case, there is often nothing else left, since until the eyebrows heal, nothing can be done about the unsuccessful tattoo.
- Unexpected eyebrow color.
An unusual color may appear immediately when, for example, instead of brown, a bluish, dark gray color is obtained. The dye can also change shade gradually, from black to bluish, from brown to pink or red.
“Metamorphoses” happen especially often with paint intended for tattoos. It is this kind of paint that most often gives a bluish or greenish tint.
- Hair loss.
It happens that your own eyebrows begin to fall out after the procedure, regardless of what products are used to stimulate hair growth.
- Permanent eyebrow makeup goes down along with the facial tissues.
It happens that the tattoo is not washed out for 1-3 years, as should be normal. It is not uncommon for a tattoo to remain for 10 years or more. During this time, the facial tissues sag, and along with them the tattoo goes down, emphasizing age-related changes.
So what should we do about it now?
Unsuccessful eyebrow tattooing is not a death sentence. And it can and should be corrected. Depending on what exactly is bad in the permanent, approaches to correction will be different.
- Grow your own eyebrows to cover the permanent.
The method is good if the eyebrows are quite dark and thick, and the tattoo itself does not go beyond the boundaries of hair growth.
This option, for example, cannot be hidden with your hair. Unless you cut off your thick bangs.
- Go for a correction.
Minor flaws are easily corrected during correction. Also, during the repeated procedure, you can slightly correct the color. There is an opportunity to adjust the shape and color only when the first procedure was not performed “to the maximum.” Usually experienced craftsmen They always leave themselves “room for maneuver” so that they can correct shortcomings and make adjustments after a short period while the new eyebrows heal and the owner gets used to her new appearance.
If the client manages to insist on evening version permanent makeup of eyebrows, and suddenly it turns out that walking with such eyebrows every day is not possible, then there are not many opportunities for correction. In large cities, as a rule, there are masters who specialize in interrupting unsuccessful permanents. In most cases, they manage to make an unsuccessful tattoo look quite decent.
However, you should take into account the fact that not every tattoo can be “repainted” anew. Sometimes, on the contrary, you can make the situation worse. For example, if there is a desire to raise the ends of the eyebrows, then there is a risk of getting a forked eyebrow.
- Buy a special corrector.
The corrector for correcting tattoo flaws should be thick enough so that black or dark brown paint does not show through. With help cosmetic pencil and if there are hairs in the eyebrow area, you can draw what you like on top of the corrector.
True, you will have to do this every day, but this will allow you to hold out until the paint fades, or until the required amount is collected for laser tattoo removal.
- Wait until the paint fades.
Usually, if the color and shape are not as expected, but the tattoo overall looks satisfactory, then you can wait until the paint fades and gradually leaves the skin. This is especially true for those with oily or combination skin.
The problem may arise when permanent dyes were used. And it just so happened that the majority of those dreaming of tattooing prefer permanent dyes and cheaper artists. Namely, this combination often leads to sad consequences that are visible on the face for a long time.
- Use a special brightening emulsion.
Eat special means, which are applied to the skin in the area of the failed tattoo and gradually lighten it. It's not a quick process, but you don't have to expose yourself to needles or laser radiation again.
- Perform dermabrasion.
The method could be considered archaic. But, nevertheless, it is periodically used to remove tattoos and permanent makeup. It just so happens that a number of clients have intolerance to chemicals and laser radiation, because mechanical removal Tattooed skin is considered the only way for them to get rid of the hated “art”. 
It is worth considering the fact that after dermabrasion there is a high risk of scar formation.
- Remove using Tattoo Remover.
Remover is a special, quite aggressive composition that neutralizes and removes pigment from the skin. At the same time, it damages surrounding tissues. The main disadvantage of Tattoo Remover is that it must be injected at the same depth as the pigment.
If the hair technique was used to apply the tattoo, then the Remover will also be injected along strips of pigment. This involves using a thin needle and a special magnifying glass to accurately target the tattooed areas.
Problems can arise when tattooing was performed by an inexperienced artist who introduced pigment to different depths. Problems can also arise when the Remover itself is introduced by an inexperienced master. If you inject the drug too deeply, then there is a risk of scarring, and if it is superficial, then there will be no effect from the procedure.
- Use laser.
Photo: Nd:YAG laser Most reliable way remove tattoo, which gives the least number of side effects and complications. If you choose the right type of laser, there will be no consequences of the procedure.
Typically, Nd:YAG laser is used to remove tattoos, which does not injure the skin, does not burn hair follicles, and at the same time does an excellent job of removing pigment.
There are two main approaches to removing permanent makeup with laser:
- radical removal of all pigment to white skin;
- partial removal of pigment so that the shape or color of the tattoo can be changed.
Radical pigment removal is a costly and time-consuming process. Typically, 4 to 10 procedures are required to completely lighten the pigment. The intervals between procedures should not be less than 4 weeks. Therefore, sometimes you have to spend almost a whole year getting rid of an unsuccessful permanent.
Pigments of cool shades, which are located in the upper layers of the skin, are easiest to remove. Warm shades, as well as deep layers of pigment, lighten much more slowly.
Usually, a noticeable color change occurs after the first procedures, when there is a lot of pigment, it is bright and absorbs light quanta well. The lighter the tattoo becomes from procedure to procedure, the less the effect of laser radiation.
Partial removal of pigment sometimes involves one single procedure, less often 2-3. It happens that an unpleasant dark gray or slightly purple eyebrow tattoo under the influence of a laser acquires the desired dark brown color. When the intensity of the old one becomes less, you can apply a new layer of pigment of the desired shade and adjust the shape of the eyebrows.
What not to do if your eyebrow tattoo is unsuccessful
Some artists still practice this method of correcting flaws in the tattoo technique by covering the dark pigment with a layer of flesh-colored or white paint. This method gives only temporary results, and it is almost impossible to remove beige pigment from the skin using a laser.

The disadvantages of overlapping a dark pigment with a light one are obvious:
- beige paint quickly acquires an unpleasant yellowish tint and becomes clearly visible on the skin;
- the dark pigment begins to shine through the layer of body paint.
As a result, you can spend money and only make the underlying problem worse.
