Credibility In Permanent Cosmetics

So, why do people feel a need to give outrageous stats on their websites as to how many cosmetic tattoos they have done? The latest one I read was over 50,000. WOW..that means for about 20 years (rare that someone has been doing cosmetic work that long and to that extent) this person had to average about 7 a day without a single day off including weekends and holidays.......liar, liar, pants on fire. You would have to consider as a minimum about a quarter of these people need touch ups within two years...10 clients a day - conservatively - 365 days a year. I would be dead by now.

Hell, my neck has gone straight and my shoulder and elbow is a mess from the cosmetic tattooing because it is always the same position, not like doing different parts of the body. I cannot even imagine being in this gig long enough to do much worse damage on my body parts and certainly not 50K worth. Also, after doing that many procedures, I would be very wealthy and not be needing to do any type of tattooing now or certainly not advertising to get more clients. I can barely handle my referral load now. If you take a modest $300 per procedure amount which would average the high end procedures with the low end and do the math, over twenty years it comes to $750K/year. Yeah, right.

The Beginning

I am actually not quite sure why I have decided to do this. Quite possibly I have become annoyed with constantly viewing other websites within the industry that displays false/misleading information or simply because I am tired of seeing new people try to learn from the various message boards out there rather than seeking quality education in the cosmetic tattoo industry. It is oftentimes the blind leading the blind. The latest observation is about the whole physical process of the healing tattoo. Some gobbledygook about a new surface skin that turns into peeling skin or some other outrageous interpretation that is total nonsense. Duh, healing occurs from the inside out - not from the outside in. Some day I will go into a complete description, but for now I am just going to ask, "Who the hell taught you that?"
