The new
millennium has brought with it a consistently rising demand
for a new tattoo related procedure, sometimes vaguely
referred to as permanent makeup. For the tattoo artist, this
can be a very financially positive new rave, but at the same
time, it can be quite frightening. The frightening end of
the process comes with the realization that the parts of the
body that these procedures take place on are very sensitive
areas, such as the eyelids and the lips.
The actual
purpose of this technique is to tattoo on certain shades of
ink so that the target subject appears to be wearing makeup
at all times. This saves a great amount of time for the
person getting the permanent makeup, however, the only
drawback of it is that it is not removable. As with most
tattoos, there usually are no second chances. If you are
considering this procedure, think long and hard before
taking this step as there is no turning back. |

Regardless of
the bodily target location of this new aspect of tattooing,
the wise artist will definitely learn the tricks of the
trade, as the demand for permanent makeup is growing by
leaps and bounds and there is not an abundance of studios
that currently offer it.
To begin
with, the artist will need to gather supplies for learning
this art. These supplies are generally available through
most large-scale tattoo supply distributor, such as
Worldwide Tattoo Supply, Joe Kaplan Tattoo Supplies, Tattoo
XP and Needle Jack Tattoo supply. Finding the supplies
should not be an issue.
The
suggested supplies for this type of procedure are
instruction manuals (of course), the Medical Issues Book,
Esthetics for Permanent Cosmetics Book, Permanent Cosmetics,
and the Equipment Manuel. |

You can obtain
various alternatives of these through any distributor, but
if you want them quick, you can find them online at the
Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals
(http://www.spcp.org/).
Even after you
obtain these supplies, it is still important to train under
a professional for a certain amount of time. The risk for
permanent injury and a lawsuit is simply too high to risk
going it alone.
From
needles, ink and tattoo machines to body piercing jewelry
and equipment, we can provide you with all the info as well
as current industry news and new products. Beginning with
tattoo supplies,
it's important to research the types of equipment that are
out there and the pros and cons to using each type.
Tattoo guns,
needles, tubes, tattoo starter kits, machines, and inks are
all key to starting a studio, shop, parlor or business. The
guns and machines are usually hand crafted or homemade. As
for the inks, it is crucial to carry a wide variety of
colors so you as the artists can create rich and unique
designs. More information:
