What To Expect Immediately After Eyebrow Tattoo Session
• Brows will appear darker and thicker due to the freshness of an open wound.
• Redness, swelling, and stinging is normal and should subside by the following day completely. If the area feels unbearable for certain individuals who have low pain tolerance, please use a clean ice pack for comfort.
• For the first couple of days, brows will appear dark and very defined before the scabbing phase. The thickness will subside gradually as the days go by.
• Once the brow area starts to peel, it will appear flaky and unappealing. The area may feel a bit dry. Please follow the aftercare instructions below on how to take care of the procedure site.
• Once all scabs have fully fallen off completely and naturally, healed results should appear 10-30% lighter in color and 5% smaller in size from the initial.
