Getting my eyebrows done - question about the tales and reversal...

I recently had a consultation to get powder brows done with someone who looks to be good but I came away wondering about a few things:

The person said that she would keep my eyebrows largely as they are now but that ideally the tales should be a little higher than they are naturally. I can see that this proposed shape would likely be an improvement but I don't get how she'll do this - isn't powder brows just supposed to go under your natural brow hair? If it's not, will I just have some brown shaded lines that extend away from my eyebrow hair and will that look strange? And will I have to pluck my real eyebrows out so they don't grow in in parallel?

I read someone on here saying that's what happened to her and she didn't like it but I'd be curious to know how others who've had this done have felt.

Also, if I don't like it, how quick and easy is it to reverse? I don't want to be out of the dating game too long at this stage in my life...

Yes, you would need to pluck the hair away where it doesn't fit the new line of the brow. They do draw them on in pencil first so you can see how they'll look. I love mine! I don't think you can reverse them though - it's a semi-permanent tattoo.

You can do a saline removal right after getting it done but it's a huge pain in the butt. I would stick to your natural shape as much as you can, you can always adjust it in the touch up.

You can remove tattoos though, can't you?

When you say right after FlyingToasters do you mean on the same day?

You can remove tattoos, but it's time consuming, painful, and stupidly expensive.

Yeah, I get that Selkie, but at least it's an option.

Can you ask her to map them first so you can see the shape? She can’t force you to have them done in a way you don’t like
