I'm so happy you were able to get them done! My main concern is regarding the level of discomfort you might have experienced, and if you would do it again? I am still considering it, but...

So one of the things I wanted you all to consider is the pain level.  I have a high threshold for pain.  However, if you are a person who doesn't like to experience much pain, I would stay away from the type of procedure I had.  She first had to do a little micoblasion and said that would be the worst of it.  It only took a few minutes but it did hurt.  One side hurt more than the other.  Then when she began the tatoo procedure, it hurt also.  But once she started she said the worst was over, and yes it was.  But it was still uncomfortable but just not as much.  It became more bearable as she continued.  On a pain level the microdermabrasion was about 8-7  The rest of it went from 7-6.  The ending being a 5.  I added the chart to help explain.  It was not pleasant.  Also left with a headache because she did a lot of pressing on my forehead holding the skin taut.  I am not young, I'm 66 so my skin tone is not great.

 

I can't really tell if I'm happy with the results because it will take a few days with some fading.  I have another appt in August to go back for any tweaking.  I asked her if it would be the same pain level and she said no.  There's been no other pain or swelling or redness which she said might occur.  I have to wash the areas with baby shampoo and use Aquaphor on them.

Once in a blue moon while doing my daily eyebrow penciling in I consider having it done but you just talked me out of it. Hope you'll do an update in a few days. If you're quite pleased and have no regrets after a few days then you'll probably be glad you did it and feel the pain was well worth it.

@rms1954   I can't believe she didn't use numbing cream!!! I've never seen or heard of microblading being done without it. Sorry you had the pain, but hope you're happy with the results.

She did.  Sorry I didn't mention that.

I'm glad you got it done. I am anxious to see what you think in a day or two.

I didn't think about it being that painful. I would still do it if I get the opportunity.

Brows make such a difference in my look & mine are just not nice anymore & I miss them.

You mentioned it hurt.  I thought they used a numbing gel throughout the procedure?  Did you use it?  I have ZERO tolerance for pain, one of the reason I never had children...HA!  Please let me know.

Yes, they did as I responded above.  They apply it at the beginning but it's just a topical thing so it's not like it can 100% numb the skin or area.  If you have 0 tolerance for pain, then it's not for you.  There may be another application that doesn't hurt.  This was actual tatooing I believe.  One of the other posters had hers done in 30 minutes so I don't know how or what they did, but this took 3 hours.

@rms1954 Thank you for your frank, and detailed description of your experience! After careful consideration, I have decided that the tattoo method is not something I will be pursuing, because I am much too chicken <CLUCK>😁 

 

I sometimes meditate to aid with pain management, but, I don't think it will be beneficial in this situation. Although pain varies with each individual, I am going to trust my gut on this one, and look for alternative PAIN FREE methods like eyebrow stencils. Again, thank you for your review.😊
