If there's something you should probably know about me in regards to my physical appearances, it's that believe it or not, I do routinely pluck my eyebrows into tadpoles the way many women did around the turn of the millennium.
Growing up, I've always noticed and later during my tween years to to admire my mother's pencil thin eyebrows that she's had since the 1990s. She's told me that she regrets plucking hers into little lines like that and even tried warning me against plucking mine the same way when I finally got around to styling and taming my unruly eyebrows in early 2022 (which naturally look like comically big furry caterpillars on my forehead and seem to overpower my eyes and just don't really look "right" on my face as opposed to my currently pencil thin ones). I started by shaving them just as a little experiment and then to shape them before committing to the look permanently a few months later shortly after turning 16 and starting my junior year of high school later that year. I've decided by then that I do indeed see myself being content with having skinny eyebrows until the very day I die and I just can't see myself ever going back to my natural caterpillars (plus, I'm not and was never really the type of person who follows the latest trends anyways and I do my own thing as a girl who's permanently stuck in the 90s and 2000s). I know exactly what I am doing to my own body here and I am fully aware of the permanency of plucking your eyebrows, which is precisely why I've chosen to opt for a more permanent method of thinning them out as opposed to continuing to stick with a method that is only temporary in nature.
I've become obsessed with having skinny eyebrows after seeing how they were a total "thing" on all sorts of fellow females in the 2000s and I pluck them on a regular basis because unfortunately for me, my body just does NOT seem to be getting the message that I want them to stop coming back even in spite of my repeated plucking of the same areas and the same hairs for a good few years now (though perhaps maybe I just haven't plucked them for long enough yet as of the time I'm typing this on 1/16/2025, I don't know). I swear, if my eyebrows continue to be this annoying in the next few years down the line, I may very well just.have to consider getting electrolysis done on them so that the follicles on my brow ridge that I DON'T want to produce hair will finally fucking die like I want them to and have been trying to coax them into doing with just a pair of tweezers alone.
It seems that all of my hairs grow out pretty quickly, which is a good thing in terms of scalp and eyelash hair growth (although it does mean I have to get the layers of my hair trimmed and bleach and dye my roots more often, but I have no problems with this), but not so much when it comes to the hairs on my eyebrows, for instance. And I would really appreciate it if I didn't have to worry about having to dig the stubbly hairs out and trying to avoid accidentally removing parts of my actual skin by trying to carefully angle my tweezers in a way that grabs a hold of the annoying brunette stubble as it tries to grow back in and manages to stick out like a sore thumb against my fair Celtic skin.
But yeah, I'm gonna do whatever it takes for me to have permanently skinny brows. I love my feminine little tadpoles and I'm wondering if anyone else reading this is considering doing the same or has done the same thing with theirs.

cool blogpost
i personally am not considering anything on my eyebrows but i think it's cool that you're confident enough to get electrolysis done. honestly, it seems like a pretty rational decision from what you've explained.
