Have your permanent eyebrows turned a surprising shade of blue, gray, or even salmon pink? You aren't alone. Whether it’s due to aging pigment, poor technique elsewhere, or your skin’s unique chemistry, discolored brows are one of the most common concerns we see at Hunny Bunny Lashes.
The good news? You don’t have to live with "ghost" brows. Tattoo brow color correction is a specialized permanent makeup (PMU) service designed to neutralize those unwanted tones and restore a natural, balanced look.
What is Tattoo Brow Color Correction?
Color correction isn't just "shading over" the old color with a darker brown. That usually results in a muddy, heavy appearance. Instead, it is a multi-session process that uses color theory to neutralize the existing pigment.
By using complementary colors (the opposites on the color wheel), we can cancel out the "bad" tones and create a neutral canvas for your new brow color.
Note: For a successful correction, your old tattoo should ideally be faded by at least 50%. If the pigment is too dark or saturated, we may recommend a session of removal first to ensure the best results.
Common Brow Discolorations & How We Fix Them
Our brow experts assess the "base" of your current tattoo to determine which neutralizing pigment is required:
Blue or Gray Brows: These are usually the result of cool-toned pigments being placed too deep in the skin. We use orange-based pigments to warm up the tone and bring it back to a natural brown.
Red, Orange, or Pink Brows: These "warm" fades often happen as certain pigments break down over time. We use olive or green-based pigments to neutralize the warmth.
Purple Brows: While less common, purple hues can occur depending on the ink brand used. These are typically corrected with yellow-based pigments.
The Process: What to Expect
The Assessment: We look at your skin type, the depth of the old pigment, and the current color.
The Neutralization: During the first session, we deposit the corrective pigment. Don't be alarmed—your brows might look slightly warm or cool immediately after, as the pigments work their magic under the skin.
The Re-Pigmentation: Once the base color is neutralized and healed, we go back in (usually 6–8 weeks later) with your desired target shade to achieve that perfect, natural brow.
