№1 Cosmetic Tattoo in Melbourne & Brisbane
Studio Face Figurati

A girl encounters cosmetic tattooing because they want to fade the cosmetic tattoo. Do not worry! No Stress!
The tattoo will acquire a standard colour only after 10 days. On the first day, you will think that you have a vibrant shade of eyebrows or lips. But this is just a tricky misconception. Be patient! Call your cosmetic tattoo artist again! The master, on the contrary, struggles to ensure that there is more light left after cosmetic tattooing. But as a rule, no more than 30-40% remains. Therefore, all models have to do the additional correction or retouch.

The procedure for applying permanent makeup involves trauma to the skin, although the pigment is injected shallowly. During rehabilitation, proper care is needed. It would help if you excluded the sauna, pool, sunburn. The healing process of lips after permanent makeup lasts 5-7 days, eyebrows – 7-10 days, eyelids – 4-5 days.

Many of our clients are interested in how to become cosmetic tattoo artists. Someone just out of curiosity, someone in the plans to change their profession, and someone now want to create beauty and make good money. In this article, we will answer popular questions and dispel some beliefs about the work of permanent makeup masters.

Where to learn eyebrow tattooing?

This craft does not go to a university or college but to experienced tattoo artists or training and consulting centres. These are guilds of beauty masters in different directions – tattooing, eyelash, nail extension, hairdressing, etc. They are also called “beauty schools”.

There are 2 types of courses: basic and advanced, devoted to a particular technique of permanent tattooing. Let’s talk about each in more detail.

Basic tattoo courses

Here the students are “put on the hand”, given the critical theory on colour, types of pigments, skin types, drawing sketches and other points that the tattoo artist constantly encounters, and taught the basic techniques of applying stain:

• hairy – microblading, feathering;
• shading, powder, pixel;
• mixed (powder + microblading).
  Practice is also there: the students first hone the acquired skills on special “blanks” made of latex and then on live models. They are either friend of the student or girls found in social networks, in groups like “Master and Model”. In some courses, the organizers provide models. In others, the students themselves are engaged in the search.

Advanced Cosmetic tattoo courses in Melbourne

The difference with the basic ones is not all considered here, but one technique or aspect of permanent makeup. The entire program of the course is devoted to the analysis of one question. Examples of advanced systems: Powder Powder Brows, Overlapping Old Tattoo, Hollywood Eyebrows. Such training is already designed for the experienced artist who is well acquainted with the theory of the permanent. It makes no sense for beginners to go to advanced courses – first, you need a “base”. The training takes place in the same way as the introductory courses:

• theory;
• practice;
• certificate.

Testing on models is also present here. By the way, it is much easier to find models for in-depth courses – there are always those who wish for fashionable tattooing from masters with experience.

Separately, it should say about the training formats. Both advanced and introductory courses can be group or individual. In the second case, the teacher works with the student tete-a-tete, in the first – gathers a group. Which format to choose is a matter of taste. It is easier for some to learn only with a master, while others need a sense of the team. In any case, the quality of teaching depends on the teacher, not on the format. You can learn permanent makeup only where professionals teach.

What should a good master know and be able to do?

• Know the features of colour and understand what shade the mixing of certain pigments will give.
• Distinguish between skin types and understand how they affect the “wear” of the pigment.
• Select the shape and colour of the pigment, taking into account the proportions of the face.
• Draw beautiful and even sketches.
• Confidently work with the tattoo machine (keep it level, inject pigment to a certain depth, avoid overheating, etc.).

Any of the ways to remove a tattoo at home can lead to sad consequences. If you are willing to take risks and endure, here are some of the tracks.
1. Burn out with a soldering iron.
2. Wipe off with a grinder.
3. Burn out with a magnifying glass using the sun.
4. Re-prick without paint and then suck out all pigment.

There is a very good and, perhaps, the only effective method of removing a tattoo at home that I know. It is unlikely that you will be able to altogether remove the tattoo with it, but with each procedure, it will fade. Eventually, it may disappear. However, the skin at the tattoo site will subsequently slightly change colour and become rough to the touch.

So, here’s the sequence of steps:

• Firstly, thoroughly wash the tattoo area with unscented soap, then wipe it with a clean, dry towel. If there is hair in the tattoo area, then they need to be shaved off so that the process is less painful.
• Secondly, take the salt from the kitchen. You can use any, but if you take a large marine, it will be pretty painful.
• Thirdly, take about two tablespoons of salt and put it in a separate cup.
• Fourth, fill the salt with a bit of water until some of the salt dissolves in it. At the same time, stir it constantly.
• After that,  take a clean sponge, dampen it and roll in this cup.
• In conclusion,  start rubbing the sponge over the tattoo with vigorous circular motions for 30 minutes. Yes, it is long, but there is no other way out.
• Also, after the salt is dry on the skin, wash it off with water. You will see how some of the ink rinses off with the water.
• In addition, all you have to do is bandage the tattoo to protect your skin from infection.
• Finally, repeat the procedure daily until the tattoo is significantly reduced. It may take more than one month.

It’s also taken out with iodine – they constantly smear this place, and the skin with paint will cover

How to reduce a tattoo at home?

Since the methods offered in the salons are pretty expensive, the question of how you can reduce a tattoo at home does not lose its relevance.

To reduce a tattoo at home, the following means most often used:

• tincture of celandine. Elixir treats small areas of the skin, which leads to a burn, and as a result, the top layer of the skin is removed. After removal, scars remain. And since celandine belongs to poisonous plants, only small areas of the skin can be processed;
• iodine. The action of iodine is to gradually exfoliate the layers of the skin along with the paint pigments. The method’s effectiveness depends on individual factors, and in many cases, attempts to reduce the tattoo with iodine end in wasted time. If allergic reactions occur, hospitalization may be required, followed by surgery;
• chemical burns. Various chemicals are applied to the surface of the skin, causing burns. Of course, scars subsequently remain, and the procedure itself is distinguished by painful sensations and the risk of blood poisoning;
• vinegar essence. With the help of a tattoo machine, the body is injected into the top layer of the skin, leading to the pigment’s destruction. White traces may remain in the place of the drawing, and in some cases, the stain remains;
• information often found on how to reduce a tattoo with potassium permanganate or milk, but it should bear in mind that both of these options are especially fraught with the risk of infection. In addition, mixing with milk gives results in rare cases. After potassium permanganate, severe burns remain. In some cases, the upper layers of the skin damage internal tissues and blood vessels and veins.

 Pros and Cons to remove tattoos at home

Before removing a tattoo at home, you should weigh the pros and cons and seriously assess the possible consequences. After all, not in all cases, scars and ulcers will look better than a tattoo. And if you need to get rid of a specific pattern, you can resort to the help of professional tattooists and cover the old tattoo.

It all depends on the chosen permanent makeup technique and the place with the old tattoo, which needs to be covered. For example, an old or unsuccessful eyebrow tattoo can be covered with a powder coating technique, lip tattooing – with permanent makeup with a bright shade of pigment. But microblading will not be able to overlap the tattoo due to its specifics of execution.

Even if, with the help of permanent makeup, it was possible to cover the tattoo, it should be remembered that after a year and a half, the shade of the PM will lighten, and the old tattoo will be more visible. Therefore, if you want to get rid of it, it is better to use the popular methods of tattoo removal. After removing and restoring the skin, you can do a PM, forever forgetting about the unsuccessful tattoo. Basic Tattoo Courses

The duration of the effect is a relative and very individual question. It depends on a combination of various factors:

• What shade choose? Black, dark brown, bright red – such shades last longer and are more visible than softer ones: pink, red, deep red, cardinal, carmine.
• How the body reacts to pigment? The body, perceiving the foreign stain, begins to reject it. Depending on the intensity and capabilities of the organism. The sediment can either settle correctly and entirely or settle partially or not at all;
• How often do the sun’s rays affect the area of permanent make-up? Under ultraviolet light, the pigment fades faster;
• Features of the skin: oiliness, age of the dermis directly affect the duration of the effect. On oily skin, the result is visible much less time than on age-related or prone to dryness;
• The frequency of using various cosmetics. Scrubs, peels and other cosmetics that remove the upper layers of the skin expose the pigment to release.

The effect of cosmetic tattoo lip is visible on average for up to 2 years. But based on the above factors, the period can be reduced to 1-1.5 years or last up to 3 years. Also, the duration of the effect depends on the correction.
