Permanent make up is considered micropigmentation, similar to tattoos. It involves using a needle to place pigment beneath the upper layers of the skin.

Permanent make up procedures are considered permanent because pigment is tattooed into the upper part of the dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, permanent cosmetics are more superficial than a normal body tattoo. Becauwe of this, fading does occur and will need maintenance every 1-2 years typically.

This will vary on each individual’s pain tolerance. The majority of people experience just a “scratch” feeling. Topical numbing agents are used to help with any discomfort.

If proper sterilization and guidelines are met, permanent cosmetics are completely safe. All instruments at AB Artistries are 100% disposable and single use.
