 microblading ink 10 things to know about permanent makeup:

1. If applied incorrectly, permanent makeup can cause serious infections. Because tattooing is an invasive procedure, infection can result from equipment that is not properly cleaned. Ensure all tools used by the technician are cleaned and sanitized.


2. A good technician will show you how your permanent makeup will look prior to applying the permanent makeup.


3. Cheap permanent makeup can cost you greatly. Someone who offers permanent makeup at a severely discounted price is usually not who you want to place tattoos on your face. Fixing bad permanent makeup is not only difficult, it is extremely costly.


4. A natural permanent look will give you the most bang for your dollar. Trendy colors or styles will quickly date your appearance. Choose an undetectable color when choosing permanent makeup.


5. Ask for before and after pictures of past clients. Also ask for references; Sally Hayes can provide a long list of past clients who will tell you how much they love their permanent makeup. In addition, many plastic surgeons refer their clients to Sally to fix problems or enhance a surgical procedure.


6. Older clients will take longer to heal. Our skin becomes less supple over time and heals at a slower rate as we age.


7. Know if you are allergic to inks and dyes. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to test a hidden spot to ensure you do not develop allergic lumps from your permanent makeup.


8. If you have an uneasy or questionable feel when you enter the salon for your permanent makeup procedure, you may want to leave. You need to ensure you feel comfortable and confident with your decision. A reputable technician will maintain a clean environment and will ease any anxiety in her clients.


9. Many clients are surprised to hear the makeup will fade over time. You can help your tattoos last longer by applying sunscreen, wearing sunglasses and not exfoliating the tattooed areas.


10. Bad tattoos are not easy to change or remove. You want to ensure you have a look you can live for a very long time.
