While both procedures involve injecting ink into the skin, there are a few key differences. Semi permanent makeup is applied in layers, whereas tattoos are typically one solid color. Yes, semi permanent makeup is never drawn as 1 line like in case of tattoo. To adjust color to the needs it required to apply as much layers as require by the skin in order to receive beautiful and natural color.

Semi permanent makeup is designed to last a few years, whereas tattoos are permanent. After couple of years semi permanent makeup can be invisible.

The difference is that tattoo artist will draw the idea on the paper and apply straight after on your body.

Skin on the face is changing much more often, while is more oily during summer and dry during winter time. Permanent makeup is almost exclusively applied with rotary machines because they use thiner needles and can be performed more precisely. Considering that our skin on the face is thinner than the one on the body and eyebrows are the most common treatment for semi permanent makeup procedure the machine need to be way more precise and with gently vibration.

Apart of that gravitation is not helping at all this is why semi permanent makeup is best option because we can removed when is needed and adjust the shape of the eyebrows or eyeliner when she skin become less firm. In that case is safe of us and less stressful in case the particular fashion has change. After couple of years we can adjust shape, technique of micropigmentation and color. This make us feel more confident to get it done.

Knowing how much easier is to wakeup up with makeup without drawing it every single day the decision is easy to make 😉

Tattoo artist doesn’t require formal education, most of the tattoo artist they are talented with drawings and become freelancers. In case of semi permanent makeup artist , very from country to country, but it mostly comes down to completing a course in a beauty school or a certified training centre. Some of the courses require a degree in cosmetology, while others do not. This make you feel that person with medical education should have more knowledge and handle with any type of the skin and skin issues.

Pigments used are iron oxides, usually with some water and glycerine added. Tattoo ink is made up of pigments combined with a carrier and a number of chemicals such as lead, chromium, nickel, titanuim dioxide… The list goes on. Tattoo ink comes in all colors, while permanent makeup uses different shades of brown, and shades of pink for lip blushing. Semi permanent makeup pigments cost more because in many countries the requirements are very specific and cost of production considering particular requirements are way higher than tatto ink.
