So, this definitely did NOT end up happening, and the story is wild. Thread of my experience below. https://twitter.com/igneouskin/status/1293589094182854663
So first things first, she gave me address of parking for the appointment and told me that even though it says idling/standing is not allowed on the street, that to text her once I arrived at said address and sheâd come down and guide me to where free parking is
My appt was set to start at 11, so I get there at 10:45 to be respectful of her time/ to be prepared in general. Text her saying Iâve arrived & Iâm parked w/ hazards on, I donât even get a text back until 11 on the DOT saying she was running late w a client. Sure, not a big deal
Still havenât heard anything back come 11:20, by this point Iâve been parked in a no parking zone for 40 min. I decide to go find parking elsewhere, and text her once I find some. She calls me and tells me itâs impossible to find free parking bc there is none in downtown...
..& I was like ? I mean thereâs plenty, I come here very often and itâs there, you just have to know where to look. She then proceeds to tell me sheâs already down there and waiting for me, and I was like damn I didnât even get a text letting me know you were on your way down
I decide to pull back around to where she was, and she walks up to my car and I roll my window down. She says âoh the entrance is back there so weâll have to pull around the building since this is a one-wayâ and I was like ????? âWEâLLâ have to pull around????
This stranger opens my door and GETS IN MY CAR which is still in band camp mode from the last two weeks, Iâve got a Starbucks cup on the floor and the seat is pretty far pushed up bc I had to load something into my car earlier in the week and this all gave me IMMEDIATE *anxiety*
Once we get into the parking garage and get parked, I realize we are walking into an apartment building. Elevator ride is long, awkward small talk. We get to her apartment and this woman takes her shoes off and starts touching her bare feet as sheâs putting already worn socks on
So Iâm awkwardly standing there like ....âshould I take my shoes off too..?â And she says yes & to leave them by the door. Ok I guess, weird but fine. The table Iâm supposed to lay on is in the corner of her living room (which has laundry on the couch) next to her tattooing setup
At this point Iâm like.....bruh. So she goes to start drawing on my face and is like ~oopsies I forgot to wash my hands~ after touching her bare feet, goes to wash her hands and puts her gloves on. She starts drawing the eyebrow shape on my face, things continue to be crazy
She starts basing the shape off of the eyebrow I hate that doesnât match my good one, but Iâm so frazzled at this point that I didnât even think about it. I thought, surely this artist would ask me specific questions about what I wanted and what I was going for?
She keeps spraying alcohol on a pad to wipe away stray marks and whatnot, and it keeps spritzing alcohol droplets on my eyes/nose/mask/hair/etc. This was annoying and unprofessional, and I know she noticed because she was like âoh donât worry, itâs just alcohol!â
As she continues to draw, THIS WOMAN. had the AUDACITY!!! To pull my mask down ALL THE WAY DOWN with her fingers WITHOUT ASKING and just was like âoh I need a better look at the rest of your faceâ like BITCH !!!! yâall I had had it at this point.
I already knew by then I wasnât letting this woman put ANY sort of damn needle in my face. She finishes drawing the shape and it just looks so âangryâ, super low in the front corner and a very high arch and the tail went really low to, just did not fit me whatsoever.
Very instagram eyebrow, very Kim K. I had told her by this point I wanted something natural with a soft arch, I specifically said I didnât want to look angry/intense. No part of this appointment was working and I wanted to leave immediately
The eyebrows themselves were very not even w/ each other and when I said that she was like âoh yeah eyebrows arenât perfectly symmetricalâ and I was like....youâre telling me, you plan on TATTOOING unsymmetrical eyebrows onto my face permanently because âthatâs the way it isâ?
Found out she booked back-to-back appointments all day, and clearly the appropriate time was not going to be spent worried about quality. She just wanted to get it over with quickly to get the money, tried to shame me saying I was the âfirst girl to ask her to redrawâ the shape.
And to top it all of, she had to go with me and get in my car AGAIN bc the parking garage wouldnât open without her key card thing. Super awkward and annoying.
Moral of the story: donât let anyone doing cosmetic tattooing out of their APARTMENT touch your damn face. Also, if you are getting PERMANENT work done to your body, be 100% ready to march your ass right out of anybodyâs business that is not going to do what YOU want done. Period
