Yes, it is. If proper sterilization and disinfection guidelines are met, permanent cosmetics should be completely safe. Professionals in the permanent cosmetic industry routinely attend Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) classes to become well versed on safety principals

Permanent cosmetics procedures are performed using various techniques, either with a manual or machine technique. The process includes a consultation, the application of pigment, and at least one or more follow up visits for evaluating the healed design work and color of the pigment.

People who meet minimum age requirements ( 18 and above),  and have the ability to heal properly from minor wounds can benefit from the liberating benefits of permanent cosmetics. Interest in this service spans the young to the more mature; those who desire a soft, natural enhancement to their appearance. It is especially  valuable to people who can’t wear traditional cosmetics due to allergies and skin sensitivities; active people who want to look their best for sports activities such as swimming, hiking, biking, tennis, aerobics; and those who don’t want to worry about “sweating off” or reapplying cosmetics. Permanent Cosmetics also benefits the vision challenged who have difficulty applying their cosmetics; and others with dexterity related conditions  such as arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke survivors, and busy people who don’t have time to spend applying and refreshing makeup throughout the day and evening.

Permanent cosmetics procedures are considered permanent because pigment is tattooed into the upper reticular part of the dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, as with any tattoo or colorant (pigment) in general, fading can and often does occur, requiring periodic maintenance referred to as color re-enhancement or color refreshing. In general, the duration of any procedure is considered semi-permanent, and depends on the client’s skin, aftercare, lifestyle, and age.

The possibility that you would have any problems or reactions from these procedures is almost non-existent with today’s health standards. However, we do not do any procedures on people who:

-are undergoing chemotherapy

-are pregnant or nursing

-are taking blood thinners

-have an active reaction or infection in the area to be worked on.

Each client is different, so make sure you contact us, to give you a personalized assessment.

Often the tattooed color is not perfect after the initial procedure heals. Permanent cosmetic procedures are a process and at least one follow-up to the initial procedure should be scheduled ( and that is why we include your touchup session with your payment) . This session is done 4-6 weeks after the original procedure, and changes can be made at this time.  

It is very important that our clients follow an easy 7 day aftercare, where you will be required to keep your procedure clean and dry. So please make sure that you schedule your appointment when you know that you will have 7 days to take care of it. ( We provide an aftercare kit and detailed instructions during your appointment).
