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.

Online Red Cross Class

I have seen so many tattooers take the online Indiana Red Cross Class for bloodborne pathogens - they post their cards online and from what I have observed posted to a micropigmentation organization website, they seems to think it is okay for the industry - it is NOT!

It is not worth the crummy twenty bucks it costs. They seem to think it is OK to use a chemiclave - oh yeah - and you waste tons of time downloading these little short video clips that can be written in two or three sentences each - like we really need to see an old lady coughing or a dog barking. Gimme a break! This is supposed to be geared to the tattoo/piercing industry so why are we seeing videos of EMT personnel working in the field?

The handwashing technique is insane in the fact the person picks up a paper towel to dry from a stack right next to the actual wash basin itself (as if there is no chance of wetting any of the other?) rather than from a dispenser.

The exam is a joke as well....This is just plain bad!!
