Permanent
Cosmetics, Permanent Makeup,
Micropigmentation and Cosmetic Tattoo are
terms all describing the same thing; the tattooing
of pigment into the dermal layer of the
skin with needles. Other terms such as "semi-permanant makeup,lineology and dermalogy"
are sometimes used wrongly to mislead the
consumer to believe they are receiving something other than a tattoo
There is no such thing as a "dermalogist or lineologist".
And at this point (2008) there is no such thing as
"Semi-Permanent Cosmetics" applied by needles.
These are deceptive terms and relay false information to the pulic.
Be aware of the terminology your
practitioner uses. Don't be fooled by
fancy terms you don't understand.
The truth is, any application of pigment into the skin is tattooing.
While it is definitely a specialty within the art of
tattooing and requires specialized supplies and
training, it is still tattooing. Some might like to suggest that it's not tattooing,
but if color is placed in the skin with needles, there's only one thing that can be; a tattoo
Fabulous Permanent Makeup requires knowledge
of the skin, structure of the face,
traditional color theory as well as color
theory as it relates to the living cavas of
the skin. Color takes on an entirely different
personality once placed in the skin, which
also has color of its own.
It also requires a thorough understanding of
traditional cosmetic makeup application.
While it is a form of tattooing, again, it
is a specialized form. I do not practice traditional tattooing and would
not attempt to do body art. My speciality is cosmetic tattooing.
I have spent 2 decades studying the
face, its structure, balance,
characteristics and personality. Everyone is
unique and individual. What looks perfect on
one person may be completely wrong on another.
