Permanent Makeup – Organic Ink Vs Metallic Ink

Permanent makeup, also known, as micro-pigmentation is a simple, non-surgical procedure where colored inks are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin. Permanent makeup has been around since Cleopatra, but was officially started in the 20th century, by a well-known tattoo artist named, George Burchett. Today, permanent makeup has evolved into a revolutionary state-of-the-art procedure that is medically accepted and proven to be healthy and safe for your skin. Permanent Makeup Now’s premier makeup artist, Tammy Bratcher, prefers to use organic inks when enhancing the colors on the face, lips, eyes, and brows.

These organic inks are made from original formulas that reflect light, leaving a soft appearance that blends naturally with the skin. These inks are known for their stability, longevity, and reliability. The organic inks are healthier and safer for the body and skin. These inks are reliable and safe because the harsh metals, which typically are found in other inks, have been removed. Once the metals are removed from the ink, the organic compound exists as a concentrated natural formula of color.

Tammy stays away from the use of metallic inks because the iron oxides and other metals, found in metallic inks, are known to fade quickly and have a tendency to turn an unnatural pink, gray, or green. These unnatural metals can cause various problems like metal absorption and potentially harmful allergic reactions. When iron oxide or any other led based inks are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin, these metals are absorbed into the blood cells, and then interact against the hemoglobin. Unfortunately, the body cannot differentiate between the iron in the inks and the natural iron found in the body.

Therefore, these unnatural metals found in the metallic inks are reportedly absorbed not only into the skin but also throughout the entire body. The iron oxide compounds that are found in most metallic inks are not entirely dangerous; the FDA has approved these inks to be used in different foods, drugs, and other cosmetics. It is important to note that these metals are not approved for implantation in the skin. The metallic inks are extremely inappropriate and potentially harmful when used in permanent makeup procedures.

Tammy feels that it is essential to use organic inks for permanent cosmetic applications, because these inks are natural, safe, and reliable. Applying these inks to the skin, creates a natural shadow of color that mimics the natural features of the face and offers a safe alternative to create a more enhanced, healthy and youthful appearance.
