A single mum has revealed she was dumped after a botched £190 microblading session left her with four eyebrows.
Jami Ledbetter, 42, from Kansas City, Missouri, was born with no brows, so was over the moon when her daughters gifted her a Groupon voucher so she could get them semi-permanently tattooed on.
But the outcome of the £190 beauty treatment left Jami embarrassed to leave her home.
"I would never wish this on my worst enemy. What it's done to my self-confidence, it's been hard," she told WDAF of the microblading results. "I was devastated. I was even dating a guy, and he stopped dating me at that point."

Jami believed the producer would be performed by a 'certified' microblader, however, the practice is unlicensed in her home state.
She said: "It was pretty painful. I tried to have a good attitude, but it burned a lot. It kind of felt bruised."
Jamie tried to conceal her botched brows with make-up, but when nothing worked, she was referred to Kara Gutierrez, a licensed tattoo artist who owns the salon Spot On Beauty in Lee's Summit, Missouri.

Kara was so shocked by Jami's eyebrows, she had to hold back tears. "It took everything in me to hold back tears because this is the worst I've ever seen," said Kara.
Microblading is a form of tattooing where pigment is implanted under your skin, with results lasting between one to three years depending on skin type.
And to fix the botched brows, Kara has been using a pigment lightening solution to create scabs and pull the dark ink out.

Since the incident, Jami's been having corrective treatment at eight-week intervals, although she'll need three more appointments, which will cost a total of £764.
She said: "If I would have known it was going to turnout like this, I probably would've never done it at all."
The woman who botched Jami's brows in the first place is said to no longer be in the business.
