Removing old brow tattoo before redo?

I got my brows tattooed around 8 years ago while I was abroad. Over time, they've faded to this bluish-grey color, and I've only had a few light touch-ups since then. Recently, I spoke with a new artist who recommended that I fully remove the tattoos before getting them redone to prevent any pigment build-up.

Has anyone else gone through this process?

Yeah, faded bluish grey brows are pretty common after years,, and many artists suggest removing the old tattoo before redoing it to avoid color issues. Lots of people use laser or saline removal first to clear the old ink and get a fresh one. Just make sure you find someone experienced to handle the removal and redo safely

Yep, and here's the blunt truth, if your old pigment's gone bluish-grey, covering it without removal is just layering problems. Artists who skip removal are often more concerned with money than proper results.
