Cosmetic Tattooing

Cosmetic Tattooing (Permanent Cosmetics, or Permanent Makeup) is a rapidly evolving industry that requires constant monitoring by those who have a strong devotion and an ethical position. Removed from my daily existence within this field, I share my own points of view here and offer some occasional words of wisdom and share some news.

Cheek Blush Tattooing

Once again on a local message board, people are trying to learn how to tattoo blush. Probably one of the most over-rated and poor choices in the industry. Most cosmetic tattoo artists do not know how to properly shade or do a wash of pigments. They do not realize how much titanium these manufacturers put in their red products so even if well-diluted, it can come out chalky looking over time.

A big issue is the fact that so many women get rosacea. How will they be able to effectively treat it if their cheeks are loaded with a tattoo pigment containing white? Another big factor to consider is that most women end up using foundations and powders so the tattooed "blush" is not going to show - and what color to choose, besides? When you need a more coral tone for a new hair color or outfit and you have pink cheeks, how will that look?

I personally will not do this procedure - it is not money well-spent for my clients.
