Caring for eyebrows after they are fully healed:

6 weeks!

Your tattoo will get softer & fade 30-50% when healed. Results will vary with each individual and depending on your skin type, aftercare & previous tattoo. It may take more than one session to achieve your desired result. Sunblock is recommended after the area is healed to protect from sun fading.
