My girlfriend wants her cosmetic tattoo removed (eyebrows), are the risks worth it?

About a year ago she got a cosmetic tattoo on her eyebrows, and I didn't know it was a tattoo till she told me. It ended up costing her 2k for both eyebrows. They look good, but her concern is that she looks funny if she isn't wearing any makeup and now feels she has to do the full works everyday. So I'm doing a bit of research.


The pigment she has on is blackish, so thats one good thing. Some side effects are that the skin in that area can become lighter, and that the tattoo may not be able to be completely removed, and one of my main concerns is that she is diabetic and she scars ridiculously easy, a simple scrape that most of us would just shrug off as nothing can scar her at times. Her tattoo looks good, but shes uncomfortable with it so I'm looking for feedback from people who have had tattoos removed, especially cosmetic eyebrow ones. How are the results these days with the best treatments? She'll be going to the doctor to get a consultation but I'm doing some research online.

Permanent make-up isn't permanent, especially eyebrows. The cost isn't that high either, usually costing no more than $300(US) total.I would encourage her to use an exfoliating cleanser as often as possible concentrating on her eyebrows. This will remove dead skin and encourage healing.The ink should fade over time. Also another thing to remember is that when the permanent make-up is applied it will look darker and larger than the end result

Reply:well personally I think if you didnt notice they were fake in the first place then they look normal. The risk are VERY VERY low, the only reason they tell you the low percentage, is so you dont sew the doctors for not telling you these risks. If she is going to be uncomfortable with them for the rest of her life then let her do t just to make her feel better. Just remind her removing tattoos leaves scar tissue damage and that may look more funny then what you are talking about. But if she is uncomfortable support her all the way. Hope everything turns out great!
Reply:If she has it removed there is still a chance of it scarring her face which would still need covering up. There are good tattoo cover up creams on the market now, you just apply it on top and the tattoo appears to be gone, then can wash it off at the end of the day. Its still a hassle i know, but perhaps less so than having to apply all her makeup :)
Reply:oh.. leave it and have tatooist do tiny eyeliner lines, top/bottom, then no more.. if eyes r done tho will blend in better with the brows, til she's really old........ but on deathbed, she'll look good, and later, mortician will love it too.........
