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.

New Tattoo Ink on the Horizon

Great News! Finally, for those who are "on the fence" worried about whether or not they want cosmetic or traditional tattooing because of its "permanence" there is a new ink by Freedom-2 that can be lasered in one session!

Maybe too good to be true at the moment, but I already have clients lined up and waiting. It seems that it will be expensive but worth it for those who want that safety net of being able to remove it. It seems color is specially microencapsulated with a polymer coating so that when the laser hits it, the capsules break and the color is absorbed into the body and voila! No tattoo!

Disturbing though, are their claims that tattoo inks being used today contain toxic and carcinogenic materials - they should have said "SOME" because I know my inks are all from FDA color additive listings, too, just like they claim theirs are. It bears watching as I am not sure at this point if the color selection will be what we are used to in the cosmetic tattoo arena.
