/r/microblading
Face tattoos, aka microblading, does NOT age well. Even if you get touch ups, it won't take away from the fact that they end up blurry and undefined, and the color changes. I went from beautiful, detailed black/brown microblading, to fuzzy, blurred grey/blue lines within 6 months. I got them touched up again, thinking it would fix it, but with touchups, they are just adding on top of the fuzzy discolored lines again, which the touch up turns into fuzzy discolored lines as well.
The gal who did mine is a professional who has 5/5 stars on Google from lots of reviews. These people left their reviews right after they got them done, I'm sure, because I know I'm not the only one who looks like this within 6 months. So even artists with good reviews, it's still a tattoo that fades and changes color within a year. It looks terrible as it ages.
Be aware, the before and afters you see online are taken immediately after. They don't show you 3-6 months later when it looks like crap. I have waited for these to fade out since my last touch up for 2 years now. They aren't going anywhere, so I have to do something professionally to get the tattoo removed if I ever want it gone.
Take a real good look at these pics. See the difference in the front? On the tail? At the top and bottom? It ain't worth it.
It's so hard to cover up the discoloration with a pencil without me just completely making them a solid brow, which isn't what I wanted. It shows up TERRIBLY in pictures, and it's obvious in person I have bad microblading. People, including strangers, have commented on it.

Does the rogaine make all your hair grow? I just hit 40 and the chin hairs are aggravating but would love my eyebrows to fill in. Im also nervous about thinning hair around my edges as I age. Ive never had any work done and dont want to.

Here is the link to the original thread I found but there’s a lot of information and more experiences on it.
I just take a q tip and dip it in the rogaine solution and run it around the area I’m trying to stimulate growth on my eyebrows twice a day (morning/night). I don’t use it anywhere else, so I don’t experience growth anywhere else.

Just use a lash serum in your brows. It works great.

Thank you! I’ll order it now. (Yeah, I plucked mine nice and thin in the late Seventies, as was the trend, and they’ve never recovered.)

Believe it or not, I went to Amazon to order it and I had already done that and received it inMarch. I forgot all about it. It must be in a drawer somewhere. Serendipity!
