To draw a line: Why tattoo should not be discounted
Permanent makeup Today, almost unanimously entered into the list of procedures that do not comme il faut. And indeed, having heard the "tattoo", many at once imagine unnaturally black broken eyebrows with a thread, which at best give the face a comical expression. Nevertheless, there is nothing criminal in relation to the appearance of the tattoo technique itself, all claims can be made to inept masters. Fortunately, in recent times, many have learned to do permanent makeup so naturally that even the most corrosive eye cannot distinguish a natural eyebrow from a tattoo.
Permanent makeup is really a cosmetic tattoo. His technique is basically no different: a colored pigment is applied under the skin with the help of punctures, which is not washed off with anything. True, it is not driven deeply at all, so it fades and disappears much sooner than a regular tattoo, and therefore requires correction approximately every year or two. By tattooing, they “paint” not only eyebrows, but they change the shape of the lips, darken the space between the pages (sometimes they make the arrow more obvious, so that the eye seems to be permanently colored). In addition, you can correct the shape and color of the areoles (or draw new ones after mastectomy), mask the scars and, for example, put on a fly - Dita Von Teese got her own way.
The main advantage and at the same time the lack of such an intervention is its longevity (compared to ordinary makeup, not a tattoo). Remove the unsuccessful tattoo, like a tattoo, it is possible, but it is troublesome, painful and expensive. So the most important thing for those who decided on him is to choose a worthy master. A miser pays twice, so saving on tattoo is like saving on a doctor.
The procedure directly affects not only the appearance, but also the organism as a whole (integuments, circulatory system), the conclusions about the need for compliance with safety regulations are obvious. As in the tattoo parlor, the master must use sterile tools, prior to the procedure warn about the rules of tattoo care and answer all the client's questions: about his education, paint composition, procedure and contraindications (for diabetes, for example, neither tattooing nor tattooing) beat can not be). If you have the slightest doubt that the master is clean, or he refuses to clarify things that are not clear to you, he cannot be trusted.
In addition, as in the search for a cosmetologist, a plastic surgeon and other specialists related to appearance, it is worth going only to the one whose aesthetic perception coincides with yours. Roughly speaking, if you would not wish the enemy eyebrows like that of the master or his clients, this is an iron reason for not having anything to do with him.
Returning to durability: with a decent performance is a really big plus. Permanent makeup is suitable not only for those who do not know how or do not want to be painted every day, but for athletes, allergies (provided that there is no allergy to the components of the tattoo pigment) and those who are not allowed to do makeup (for example, with arthritis or Parkinson's disease).
Techniques of the same tattoo of eyebrows are different (drawing hairs, haze, their combination, etc.), they depend not only on the presence, color and manner of hair growth, but also on age, condition and skin type. In some cases, a good tattoo will be completely invisible, in some it will resemble the skillful work of a makeup artist with shadows or a pencil - if the makeup is on the face, it cannot be completely invisible. Yes, sometimes the tattoo with all the skill of a beautician looks unnatural, but it is permissible or not, everyone decides for himself. As a rule, the master asks to draw eyebrows, lips or arrows, with what you want to see them or wear, if necessary, corrects and fills them.
An important point: tattooing heals for about a week and immediately after the procedure looks worse than later. The lips, eyes and skin are generally slightly swollen, and the pigment looks excessively bright. High-quality healed permanent makeup looks, for example, like this: lips are symmetrical, of natural color and shape. So a week after the procedure you will have to walk with lips or eyebrows darker than desired, but this is a portable inconvenience.
Given the specifics of the procedure, for permanent makeup should go to a kosmetilogu with specialized education and appropriate skills. They know not only the rules of sanitation and how to do a tattoo directly, but also the basics of make-up, which help to choose the right forms and techniques. You can search for them on the Internet, but then it is necessary to find examples of works by specific masters. They are even in instagram, it is generally a convenient tool for finding professionals to adjust the appearance. Word of mouth is also an option, but again it’s worth seeing the works - the understanding of beauty is different for everyone, and you may not like it to your friend.
In any case, even if you managed to find an adequate cosmetologist, you should carefully consider the prospect of decorating yourself with a tattoo. You are going to put a tattoo on your face, so you should not rely on short-term desires, but formulate your values in principle. If you like changing images frequently, you are not sure that after a year you don’t want to change the shape and color of eyebrows or stop dyeing your eyelashes, it is better not to do permanent makeup (restoring areolaes or masking scars does not apply). But if consistency is peculiar to you, you know that you like your appearance, and you want to minimally adjust the natural forms, tattooing can be the easiest and most convenient way to achieve this.
