Permanent Makeup!!! Are you game for it??

How would you feel if someone told you that you could look perfect everyday!! Top of the world right?? What if you could have lined lips, eyes that look like you have applied eyeliner without having to go through your makeup routine everyday? Wonderful isn’t it??? Welcome to the world of Permanent Makeup!!  

Frankly I wasn’t really aware of this whole concept and world of permanent makeup until a few days back when I read an article in a newspaper and that is what sent me on a search of this whole different world for me…

Other names of Permanent Makeup, commonly known as Cosmetic Tattooing are dermapigmentation & micropigmentation. The technique used is the same as that used for body tattoos in which a colored pigment is deposited into the upper layer of the dermis. This helps in restoring the natural skin color.

What all can you get done/corrected with Cosmetic Tattooing?

You can enhance most of the facial features with cosmetic tattooing like..

Lip Tattoo : Not happy with your lips? Too thin or too thick for your liking?? Find using lipstick too much of a hassle everyday?? Don’t you worry!! Lip tattooing comes to your rescue. You can make your thin lips appear fuller and thick lips appear thinner!! With lip tattooing you can also impart permanent color to your lips or give a new shape if you dislike your natural lip shape. You can also give a permanent lip liner to your lips..

Any risks? Ofcourse there are risks & cons associated with cosmetic tattooing and since this is going to be a permanent affair you definitely wanna take all the precautions you can to ensure nothing goes wrong..rite?

• I dont need to say this, but still..ensure your tattoo artist is qualified enough to do this job and has the correct equipments for the same. Even if this means spending some more money, its all worth it at the end of the day. In some countries like the US, a permanent cosmetic technician should be registered with the FDA (food and Drug Association) and has to follow certain rules that have been put down by the FDA.
• Ensure the artist uses only sterilised equipments and disposable needles.
• Its a permanent commitment after all. What are you gonna do if you dont like it some years down the line. Tattoo removal is ofcourse an option but that may not be successful all the time. Results have proven that laser tattoo removal leave permanent scars in some cases and also cause infection etc.
• You may not like the final outcome of the tattoo. It maybe too thin, too thick or too dark for your liking. Though some minor changes are possible by highly qualified technicians, they may not be possible in all cases. So think more than twice before getting it done.

The recovery period is pretty quick arnd 4-6 weeks. Though this is permanent makeup, the color does start fading over a period of time and a touch-up maybe required after some years.

As far as I am concerned...Though I am tempted to get eyebrow tattooing done but on a more serious thought I guess I am pretty happy with my facial assests the way they are...I wouldnt like to get any permanent makeup done to them...and we are not that bad with the temporary makeup bit also na :)
