Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique as a means of adding eye lining and other permanent colors to the face, lips and eyelids to imitate makeup with permanent ink. Most times it is used to produce eyebrows, eye lining, disguise scars,  and enhance the breast's areola.

Other names used to refer cosmetic surgery are derma pigmentation, micro pigmentation, and permanent cosmetics.  Most states have to strict laws for shop owners to adhere to as well as strict control of the pigments in the inks used.  They are subject to FDA regulation.

Before taking the step to get permanent make up, you should educate yourself to complications to remove the tattooing at a later time. As with other tattooing, cosmetic tattooing may take several sessions and may present some minor.  Immediately after the procedure the look is harsh as with regular tattoos.  Immediately following, colors are brighter.  It doesn't take long for the new look to fade to a normal intensity.

Cosmetic Tattooing as been the answer to women who have reactions to regular makeup or due to physical limitations, have a hard time applying makeup.  Besides enhancing beauty and features, tattoos are useful for hiding or downplaying scars and scar tissues.  Some clients choose to cover scars tissues with elaborate tattoos instead of just hiding the area with minimum covering.

In time, the color of cosmetic tattooing may fade and touch up may be necessary.
