Semi-Permanent Cosmetics for REAL

Well, now there will be more turmoil in the cosmetic tattoo industry. It seems our friends at Freedom-2 not only will have a pigment that can be lasered in one session (PRTI - permanent but removable tattoo ink) but they also have TLT - Time Limited Tattoo - which is the world's FIRST (get it, FIRST, all you semi-permanent cosmetics proponents) non-permanent tattoo ink option. Apparently this ink fades at a pre-determined, time-release schedule. So it seems to truly "disappear".

This is going to be very confusing for the general public if people out there don't stop this whole "semi-permanent" scam going on. Read previous blog postings of mine to see the problem. Because of natural fading of tattoo ink, these folks decided to call permanent cosmetics "semi-permanent." A huge disservice and now, it will be a nightmare because clients will be looking to get the new REAL semi-permanent makeup and can end up with regular tattoo ink. Consumer education is going to be greatly needed and clients will have to be sure they are getting TLT pigments!

I am not sure how this does it - this story is yet to be told, but it seems that the material that encapsulates the pigments only have a certain life span and must break down at a predicted rate. My feelings are this will be great for the cosmetic tattoo client who would like to "try" permanent cosmetics, and if they really are happy with it, they can have the PRTI pigment replace the TLT pigment before it totally disappears.

Time will tell if this can happen. Visit www.freedom2ink.com for more information.
