Corrective Work

admin — Tue, 17 May 2011 02:04:35 +0000

Commonly, a new client phones us to say that eyebrows were applied too dark or badly shaped. Other problems include colour change or quick fading. We enjoy working with natural vegetable pigments, so that we don’t have those problems. This reminds me to say, yet again - know your semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo artist. Word of mouth and experience amounts to a lot. When was the first client your professional had? A couple of months ago or several years ago? Good cosmetic tattooing takes years to understand. How many clients does your professional work with in a day? Each client takes at least two hours and often a lot more time; from consultation to lifting the cold pack off the cosmetically tattooed areas. Time is something we should have plenty of. Why? Your artist needs to have a clear understanding of any medical or other problems you may have. As well, every stroke, and every smudge of colour needs to be perfect, to the cosmetic tattoo artist, and you, the client. You must feel that the very best work possible has been achieved, knowing that after the shedding of the superficial pigment, semi-permanent colour will have started give the shaping, highlighting and definition your features appear to crave.

So how do you best feel comfortable with your procedure? Your professional will have listened, advised, and drawn or applied with pigment the required look. At Gentle Cosmetic Tattoo, you may follow the work with a mirror if you wish. We start conservatively, shaping, colouring and forming, until all is perfect.

Having said all of the above, with time and care, corrective work also gives stunningly good results. Always check that you admire the style of your cosmetic tattoo artist’s work. Ask all the questions that concern you, and don’t be afraid you might appear ‘fussy’. Lastly, make sure you are 100% happy with the final designs before and/or during the procedure. This ensures a happy completion and the confidence that often gives nature a helping hand in healing!

Consultations are here for you to discuss, question and decide whether micropigmentation (or semi-permanent makeup) is the right choice for you. Take the time – it’s free!

A word on Natural Vegetable Pigment Inks

admin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:43:59 +0000

Making choices as to what goes into our bodies and skin should be as natural as breathing. It’s up to us as individuals to inquire what is the best solution regarding permanent colour solutions.

Naturally we want to feel confident that the pigment inks implanted into our skin are safe and will stay true to colour after the initial cosmetic tattoo process.

The good news is that natural vegetable pigments are iron oxide free. These gorgeous non iron oxide pigments are equal in colour retention to regular pigments, and don’t change colour even after years.

Look after your cosmetic tattoo by using sun screen and understand that exfoliating substances directly on any cosmetically tattooed areas will help remove pigment eventually. Care and common sense practised after the great permanent makeup decision is the answer!

Getting back to iron oxides, most of us have heard of the common problem of browns changing to orange or mauves, and black to blues even after six months. Iron Oxides deteriorate when subjected to UV Rays so have a tendency to discolour. Natural inks don’t create these ‘unusual’ colour hues, as they do not contain metal substances.

Ask me about natural vegetable inks that require little if any touch up procedures later, and won’t cause unnecessary bafflement through colour change!
