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.

Cosmetic Tattoo Pigments

This will be short. I was talking to someone today about cosmetic tattoo pigments and she was so very sure she needed to use pigments with a lot of glycerin in them, otherwise they will dry up and she will "lose" most of it if not used it up quickly.

Marketing CaCa. You know, I personally feel a heavy glycerin product wastes even more. It clings to the sides of the bottle and you cannot get it all out when it starts to get "old." Try putting some alcohol in it and shake it down and you will easily see what I am talking about!

I don't particularily like working through an oil slick, besides, and that stuff gunks up the bottle no matter how tight you cap it, it seems to find a way to ooze on out of there....ewwwww.

I am, as you know, a big fan of "washes" so I would rather work with a pigment that is as plain as they come and when diluted, I know what I have - in other words, very little to NO glycerin at all.
