Makeup tattooing, or permanent makeup, is a genius way to shave minutes of your makeup routine every morning with a perfect set of brows, lips, eyeliner or pretty much anything you want (even heart shaped nipples). Learn more with our guide.
Something to keep in mind is that "natural" colors, surprisingly, have the potential to cause infection more than any other color — so look for aestheticians that only use zinc oxide in their products. Zinc oxide is so safe because there is such a small risk of it migrating elsewhere, whereas "natural" products are much more likely to migrate and cause complications. Another thing that you'll need to be aware of is that in the future, you may experience redness and tingling should you have to have an MRI scan, so you'll need to make the clinicians aware of this before your scan. It may also interfere with their ability to read the scan correctly.
 

Benefits Of Permanent Makeup

Clinicians say that permanent makeup, when applied correctly to the right places, can actually flatten out scarring and fine lines and wrinkles, because the pigment used effectively destroys the cell. Because the cell is destroyed, it has to rebuild, which means that it needs to reboot its collagen, giving the skin a smoother and firmer appearance. 
 
If the tattoo happens to have taken place over a fine line or wrinkle, it means that it may well appear slightly fuller and plumper.
 
Not only that, but when applied by a skilled aesthetician, permanent makeup can transform the look of your face. Artfully applied lip color, for example, can make your lips appear fuller and plumper. If you're a big cat's eye liner fan, but can never quite get the perfect flick on your own, your aesthetician can do the job for you and you can have the perfect cat's eye every single day. If your eyebrows are thin and lacking in perfect volume, getting them tattooed on could save you a ton of time in the morning if you spend a lot of time using your eyebrow pencil and brow gel.

What If I Don't Like The Result?

Sorry to say this, but tough luck, buttercup. You just got a tattoo. You either have to wait for it to fade, get further tattooing to cover up what you don't like, or get laser treatment to try to remove the tattoo. The trouble with lasers, if they're appropriate, is that they can cause scarring, which is exactly what you don't want. Another option is dermabrasion, but dealing with the sensitive skin around your eyes, it isn't really appropriate. 
 
You have to walk into tattooing with your eyes wide open and a super clear idea of exactly what you want. 

Do your research, know the establishment that you're going to has a good reputation, and make sure that you've seen examples of their previous work. Steer clear of any places that take great pains to tell you that they are FDA approved because that should be a given, and never allow anyone to travel to your house to offer permanent makeup tattoos. Be prepared to travel, and be prepared to pay, and you'll be sure to have a quality result.
