Permanent Cosmetics, Permanent Makeup, Micropigmentation and Cosmetic Tattoo are terms all describing the same thing; the implantation of pigment beneath the surface of the skin with needles. Other terms such as dermalogy, dermagraphics, intra-dermal pigmentation are misleading and confusing. There is no such thing as "dermalogy". It is a deceiving term suggesting the practitioner is a doctor. Some doctors do perform permanent cosmetic procedures, but be aware of the terminology your practitioner uses. Don't be bamboozled by fancy terms you don't understand.

Any implanting of pigment in the skin is tattooing. Some technicians may tell you their procedure is not really tattooing. Even some professional organizations try to imply prestige by deferring the public away from the word 'tattoo'. This is deceptive! While it is definitely a specialty within the art of tattooing and requires specialized equipment and supplies, many hours of specialized training, it is still tattooing.

Fabulous Permanent Makeup requires knowledge of the skin, the structure of the face, traditional color theory as well as color theory as it relates to implanted pigments. Color takes on a whole different personality in the skin, because the very skin the pigment is being implanted into has color of its own that contributes to the final outcome. Fabulous Permanent Cosmetics also requires a thorough understanding of traditional makeup artistry. While it is a form of tattooing, it is a completely specialized form. I do not practice traditional tattooing and would not attempt to do body art. Body art is a separate entity and is not my specialty. My specialty is makeup; Permanent Makeup.
