Permanent makeup - answers to questions

Because I'm working on Creative Make Up one day a week, and have blogged a lot about permanent makeup that Annika at the salon works with, so I often get questions about just this with tattooing makeup!

Some questions are more common than others, but now I thought I would answer some more detailed questions that come up from time to time, which are not as common but which surely many of you want to know :)

Föressten has heard that you do not make taffy eyebrows on people who have rosacea. That the body works actively with the inflammation in the skin and then also repels the color pigments so that it does not adhere. Do you know how it is with 3D? Soooo craving. ”
Response: I had never heard that it would be weird to do permanent makeup on a rosacea complexion, it's so common so I should have heard it before in such cases, I thought. Asked Annika and she said she has never experienced such problems, and she has tattooed many with rosacea.

She did not really know what it is like with other methods, but if the paint does not adhere, they probably do not have good enough equipment, she thought, but it is difficult to say when you are not familiar with other methods. You are only an expert in what you work with, you learn from experience :)

However, if you have a rash / eczema in the area itself that is to be tattooed, you should probably look past the salon and ask first. I do not really know what the rules are about it actually.

Here you see my eyebrows before and immediately after! The before image is a previous tattoo that has faded (and was much narrower then), and the after image was taken the same day, so it is not as sharp when it healed.

"I have eyelash extensions and want to tattoo eyeliner, is it possible or do I have to remove the lashes first?"
Response: You should not have eyelash extensions during the treatment for three different reasons - 1 it is very unhygienic and can give a risk of infections, 2 it is in the way when you get a tattoo and 3 in addition they will still not last during the treatment because the lashes are hard and gets stuck is the cotton when you wipe off excess color (which you do several times during the treatment). But you can put them back on when the tattoo has healed, which takes about a week.

Here you see before and after on my eyes, I have tattooed black lashliner up, white inliner (waterline) and brown lashliner down. I colored and permed my lashes after as well, then the tattoos get an extra good effect :)

“I have seen several people who have tattooed eyebrows, which turn red when they fade. I absolutely do not want that and therefore consider not getting a tattoo at all. How big is the risk of that? ”
Response: There is a huge difference between tattooists and tattoo artists, I recommend Annika to everyone! She is so popular and talked about that she is already fully booked until mid-June, she knows what she is doing and only uses equipment with the best quality (everything from anesthesia to paints, needles and machines). In other words, yes it is very common for permanent makeup to turn red when it fades, BUT NOT with Annika because she uses colors that do not.

Hope the answers were helpful to all of you who are wondering!
