Micropigmentation at Ology Spa in Indianapolis- Muths and Facts II

Further answers to common misconceptions about permanent makeup:

Myth: Traditional tattoo guns penetrate deeper than micropigmentation machines resulting in more scar tissue.
Fact: The depth of penetration can be determined by the technician. Some machines have the ability to go deeper into the skin. Also if the pigment is implanted superficially then the tattoo may fade very quickly.

Myth: Permanent makeup can be applied to anyone.
Fact: Anyone under 18 must have parental consent. There are contraindications for tattooing including someone with a history of keloid scarring and any female that is pregnant.

Myth: Permanent makeup is not permanent and therefore the technician does not need a license.
Fact: Permanent makeup is definitely permanent. Some people will need touch ups and there may be extrinsic or intrinsic factors that cause pigment to fade faster, but it is still permanent. Sun exposure and rate of skin exfoliation can both cause tattoos to fade faster. The permanency mostly depends on the technician and how well it is placed.
