Micropigmentation at Ology Spa in Indianapolis - Myths and Facts

Like all procedures, there are many myths about permanent makeup (micropigmentation) that a potential patient should know. We will answer a few here.
Myth: Body tattooing and micropigmentation are not the same.
Fact: Micropigmentation is tattooing because pigment is injected into the skin using a needle just like a body tattoo. The permanent cosmetic (micropigmentation) industry agrees that no matter what it is called or what type of equipment is used, they are both the same.

Myth: It is important to go to someone who is certified in micropigmentation and not a tattoo artist.
Fact: Although it is good to look into reputable facilities, there is no true certification in either area of tattooing. Schools grant certificates after students take exams, but they have no meaning outside of the school. The industry itself does not certify or license tattoo artists or permanent makeup artists. Some states do license tattoo artists or permanent makeup artists in sterilization and sanitation. In general, an aesthetician trained in permanent makeup, working in a medical office under physician's supervision, is the most assured setting in which to get the procedure done in a professional manner.

Myth: A Dermagraphics pen is no the same as a tattoo gun.
Fact: All equipment works in the same basic way of implanting pigment into the epidermis with a needle or group of needles. Some are quieter and don't implant as deep, while others are cordless and digital. All machines good technique and experience to get the best results. The 'magic' is in the hands of the operator, not in the machine used. They are all tattooing devices.
