No I had mine done during treatment when I had half an eyebrow on each side and couldn't manage the eyebrow pencil...it would take me ages to look just okay. So I had it just after my last AC treatment...day 14 and all healed by the time I started taxol. Mine didn't even scab. I used paw paw cream on it. Where I lived nobody did this tattooing but then an experienced lady started coming out and I was one of her first customers. If you could do before would be better. I did lose all my eyebrows and lashes. Not all my eyebrows have returned 12 months on.
