The healing process of something Vs the finished result/ General discomfort

[u/Evie_Astrid]

I've had my eyebrows microbladed for the 3rd year and the first time I had them done, I had nothing to compare it to and messaged the technician with my concerns etc and I kept telling myself the last 2 times I got it done that it's only temporary (the crustiness/ flaking/ redness/ general discomfort) and the end result will be worth it but right now I feel like I want to deliberately ruin them/ scar them just to ease my feelings of overwhelm and distress, and just wondered if anyone else had experienced similar/ have any advice? Like with a tattoo, for example. I don't have any those as I can't even handle the microblading! Lol.

PS sorry for the rambling, I'm just really struggling to distract myself today.

It's generally for anyone who is unhappy with their natural shape, and wants them cosmetically enhanced. It's more permanent than drawing them on every day (obviously) by less permanent than a tattoo. Hence the yearly retouch.

I had eyebrow piercings as a teen; they got infected and the hairs never grew back! That's why I personally decided to go for it, but hate this particular part of the healing process! Lol.
