Embracing the Trend and Minimising the Risks
With rapidly developing technology, artistic creativity and growing popularity, cosmetic tattoos have won over people’s doubts with their beauty-enhancing features.
Whether you are thinking about semipermanent ake up for your brows, microblading, lip blushing, or eyeliner, you can save time and have an alternate option to a traditional makeup routine.
With the changing popularity and increasing demand for cosmetic tattoos, we find it important to discuss the safety of cosmetic tattoos.
While it is very convenient, simple and pretty straightforward to get a cosmetic tattoo, there are some things you can consider to minimise the potential risks and ensure your best health after getting a tattoo.
So, let’s get right into the topic.
Potential Risks and Complications
Our aim in sharing the details of the potential risks of getting a cosmetic tattoo is not to hinder you from getting one but to advise you of all the aspects of tattooing so that you can make informed decisions.
We cannot stress the importance of going to licensed, hygienic, trained tattoo artists to minimise or nullify the subsequent complications.
Allergic Reactions to Tattoo Pigments
If you have sensitive skin or other sensitivities, your skin can react to the pigments or numbing creams. Although this is rare, it can be prevented.
If you are allergy prone always check with your artist in case any ingredients that you may have an allergy too are not being used.
Generally people react more commonly to organic pigment rather than iron oxide based pigments.
Ranging from mild irritation to some severe symptoms like swelling or blistering, it is better to avoid the allergic reaction if you can. How can you know if you are allergic?
Try patch testing before you go in for the full tattoo. A small amount of pigment will be implanted prior to your procedure to identify any potential allergies to avoid unnecessary health hazards after.
Infections
It is of utmost importance to follow the proper sanitation during and after the tattooing process to reduce the risk of viral or bacterial infections.
Always make sure you are working with tattoo artists that use sterile equipment. Most of our instruments are single use disposable needled or blades.
With Cosmetic Ink Tattoo, you can rest assured that your safety is always our priority, and you work with the very best, professional and creative tattoo artists.
If you have any contagious diseases like HIV, Hep C or any others you must by law disclose this prior to your treatment .
Unexpected results
Scheduling a consultation with a potential cosmetic tattoo artist is an essential step in the selection process. This meeting lets you discuss your expectations, ask questions, and gauge the artist’s professionalism and communication style. Consider whether the artist actively listens to your concerns and preferences during the consultation. A skilled artist will offer suggestions based on your facial features, skin tone, and desired outcome.
Fading and touch-ups
Did you take the fading or changing colours into consideration?
Yes, your semi-permanent tattoo can fade faster/slower than others based on factors like your skin type, average sun/elemental exposure you get, as well as the quality of pigments used and face creams for example retinol.
These colours can change over time or blurr depending on your skin type and things like sun exposure.
To ensure the lowest amount of less-desirable results, it is important to have conversations with your tattoo artist before you finalise your procedure.
Selecting the Best, Qualified Tattoo Artists
It is important to disclose any medical conditions and have an open conversation where you discuss your doubts and get all the information about the procedure before undergoing it.
A professional will have better judgement and experience and will be able to address your concerns satisfactorily.
