Eyebrow tattooing

Does anyone know if there is some way to get eyebrow tattooing (Feathertouch) cheaper than $495 ? My eyebrows have not re-grown after chemo and this has been suggested to me. it is expensive and not permanent. A friend said she heard it is possible to get reimbursed/ covered by Medicare for such procedures as this. She is having nipples re-created and later tattooed and there will be no cost to her.

    I paid for mine on chemo and was glad as my regrowth has been very sparse. I don't know of anyway to get it cheaper. I believe some salons may provide a discount for those who have had cancer but you would need to ask. The price you are given for feathertouch is actually very cheap as normally around 600. A soft block colour would be longer lasting (and doesn't need to look like hollywood brows). I had a soft block and they look pretty good. My original brows were fine and light anyway so I kept with my original look.

    Although expensive it is your face and you want someone really good at it. Many women would easily spend that on their hair in 6 months and that certainly isn't permanent. That is how I justified it myself. You could ask if you could pay off..ahead of getting it done. Kath x
