History
Permanent make up or cosmetic tattooing originated from the Egyptians. The
people of the Asia Pacific region developed the technique
(in its current form) approximately 30 years ago.
With the highest respect for these people the fact remains
that Asian people do not grow a lot of hair on any part
of the body!
This is why they developed permanent make up or cosmetic tattooing, to draw in eyebrows and other facial features that were rarely even there ! This application was then expanded to accentuate the eyes (eyeliner). The technique took another transition when it was discovered that the same could be done to define lip liner and lips. Most of this was undertaken by Asian women who wanted to achieve a more western look as is so prominent in today's magazines.
Initially the technique used a bamboo needle and the colours available were only black and brown.
With time, these crude techniques were modernly developed. Eventually the whole concept was embraced by the Western world who realised there was a lot of convenience to be had in having permanent make up applied.
The dyes used today are more sympathetic with the face.
This means that the colours are more soft, natural flesh
tones so that a perfectly natural look can be achieved.
Also the original dyes did fade in colour abnormally
(blacks would turn grey etc) and also did not last as
long.
Today's dyes keep their colour throughout the years
and fade naturally and progressively without changing
colour. They are also hypo-allergenic.
The machinery used today is also adapted from the bamboo needles mentioned earlier. Some permanent makeup or cosmetic tattooing technicians use an electrical tattoo gun like traditional tattoo artists. The problem with these is their ability to break the skin membrane more so than required making healing times generally longer.
More technologically advanced application methods are based on old technology, using no electricity. These gently apply color into the skin manually which means less damage to the membrane with the appropriate depth being adhered to for a better overall finish.
The skin consists of 5 layers and to achieve the appropriate
look, penetration needs only to be around 0.5 - 0.8
of a millimetre. This creates the desired effect without
going too deep creating unnecessary damage as mentioned
previously. Manual application is also generally quicker.
The technique (although we describe it as tapping colour
into the skin) is more like scratching. However, specially made permanent makeup machines (not tattoo machines) also do an excellent job.
