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.

Something Positive

I have decided that I have been complaining too much. Well, that is my option, I guess. I pretty much did this so I could vent as well as share info when I finally get around to inviting people "in." It is sort of like how people do journals. Except that is private. I kind of like the idea of people knowing what things I find annoying.

Anyway, I have to say that while I have used many people's cosmetic tattoo pigments - I am going to go out on a limb here and state my preferences: Derma Medical and Lasting Impressions Aqua.
I am not a fan of glycerin - never have been. I think a lot of the halos we see around brows out there are from a heavy hand with heavy glycerin content. I like little to none. Derma Medical pigments are good for me because they are thinner...Aqua pigments are good because they have a high pigment load and I can dilute them easily - I am in love with the brow colors. I like a thin pigment to do brows and even lip liner. I like a more transparent look with a stronger color than a denser look with a lighter color. I hope that makes sense - I am fairly certain I have written on this subject before.
