What to Look For When Choosing Your Cosmetic Tattoo Specialist

As the field of permanent cosmetics grows in popularity, so does the number of practitioners who promote their service of it. To avoid making the wrong choice, I’ve put together a list of things to look for: · Qualifications & Experience – it makes sense that the beauty therapist has a solid base of experience behind her in the beauty industry. This will include having relevant qualifications related to your procedures too.

• Past clients – before and after photos are very useful at helping you decide if their style is right for you. However, you’re also going to want to talk and meet with past clients in person to hear from and see the results for yourself.
• Products used – it’s important that quality pigments created especially for permanent cosmetics/micropigmentation are used.
• Hygiene – the application of permanent cosmetics involves dealing with blood and other body fluids. It’s 100% essential that correct and hygienic procedures are adhered to, to prevent contamination and infection.
• Initial consultation – it’s important that before any permanent makeup procedure that you have a patch test and be assessed to ensure your suitability before the procedure begins. This is also the time to ask questions of the therapist’s experience, area of expertise and get to see their portfolio of work.
• Cost – while you can’t put a price on top quality results, don’t fall for the ploy of choosing someone with super low prices. They may genuinely be offering a special deal, but remember that they need to cut costs in order to make a profit from their work. This could be through using inferior products, spending less time on their work or not investing as much in their training. However, just because someone charges a lot, doesn’t mean that their work is the best either.
• Premises – if they’re operating from a pop-up shop, think twice before booking an appointment. It’s best to choose a cosmetic tattoo specialist who has a permanent clinic which has been fitted out with the right equipment. The good news is, I am your local permanent cosmetics specialist!
