Cosmetic tattooing  is a procedure of adding color to the the dermis layer of the skin to enhance appearance like make-up with long-lasting results. This procedure goes by many names; it may also be referred to as permanent makeup, tattoo makeup, cosmetic tattoo makeup, micro-pigmentation, color implants, intra-dermal pigmentation.

What is the Purpose of Permanent Make-Up?

There are a number of possible reasons to opt for cosmetic tattoos, such as: 

• convenience.  Some women with a clear and established idea of their make-up needs just desire for a faster and more permanent means to achieve desired make-up effects.
• individuals with impaired vision may get permenent makeup since applying make-up is problematic when they can’t properly see what they’re doing
• individuals with allergies to cosmetics may find intra-dermal pigmentation a more viable and less agitating method of enhancing their appearance..

Cosmetic Tatoo Process These tattoos are created with the use of a tattoo pen. Ink from the pen is injected into a deeper layer of skin where it will last longer. Cosmetic tattoos should be done by a skilled technician in such venues as Naturally Yours Studio in West Vancouver. I learned about it myself, when I was at a juice bar chatting with the owner that I learned that first learned about the concept of cosmetic tattooing (I know it’s common, and it is weird that I hadn’t heard of it, I know), who happened to be one of the owners of the Naturally Yours Studio in West Vancouver, as well.  Skilled studios can safely “paint” them on with great-looking results (without doing harm), employing disposable needles and stringent sanitation standards. 

How Long Do Color Implants Last? Cosmetic pigments last from a year and a half to five years before their appearance begins to noticeably fade. When they do fade, follow-up treatments may be necessary to maintain desired.  Injected tones may initially simulate the exact colour and tone desired, they will not always remain a perfect match due to changes in your natural skin tone.  

Eyebrow Tattoos Recipients of eyebrow tattoos who have more hair around their eyebrows, whatever the color of the hair, will see more natural-looking results than individuals with little or no hair around their eyebrows. The usual purpose of eyebrow tattoos is to make them look darker or fuller.  

Lipline Tattoos The thickness ans shade of a lipline tatoo can be thick is decided on by the client, usually through a careful consultation to clearly establish preferred shades. shade.  

Is Cosmetic Tattooing Painful? The way the process of intra-dermal pigmentation for a person depends on their particular level if skin sensitivity. It is relatively painless for most recipients of the procedure, but some may experience higher sensitivities than others. The sensation is significantly numbed by topical anaesthetics is applied to the regions of the face where the tattoo is going to be done. 

Pigments Used for Color Implants Pigments may come from organic or inorganic compounds, or a combination of both, injected into the dermis layer of the skin thereby ensuring the long lasting effect of the procedure.  It is wise to inquire beforehand what pigments are being used and double check that it isn’t anything to which you might be allergic.  

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.
