This eyebrow tattoo correction started with a situation I see quite often in my studio:
old microblading performed with pigments containing carbon black.
Over time, carbon-based pigments tend to expand in the skin and shift towards a cool grey tone, especially when the original hair strokes lose definition.
Instead of simply covering the area with orange correction and then a darker brown pigment, the first step was a camouflage neutralization technique.
For the neutralization I used Kastanien corrective pigment, specifically designed to treat grey residual pigment from previous PMU work.
Unlike traditional colour correction, it works through a balanced spectrum of corrective pigments that neutralize grey tones while maintaining transparency in the skin and without the use of titanium dioxide.
This allows the cool base to be softened and balanced without turning the brows orange or creating an opaque block of colour.
Once the unwanted grey tone was neutralized, I rebuilt the structure using my Breath Brows™ technique — my signature hair-stroke method designed to recreate soft, airy strokes that blend seamlessly with the client’s natural brow hair and restore a fluffy, laminated effect.
When working on previous permanent makeup, the goal is not simply to cover the old tattoo, but to rebalance colour, restore movement and recreate natural brows, even when the starting point is a migrated or saturated pigment.
Every correction requires a careful balance between
pigment science, colour theory and technique.
