What are the risks of semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo?

"When many people want to tattoo their eyebrows, they always ask if it hurts, and rarely ask if there is any risk," said a friend who makes tattoos. Driven by the love of beauty, some people regard moving knives as leisure, not to mention a few tattoo needles. But tattooing is a minimally invasive and long-term project, and there are definitely risks. These risks are still hidden in some details that are easily overlooked. This article will tell you the risk of eyebrow tattooing, and also talk about the difference between the popular "semi-permanent" and old-fashioned eyebrow tattooing.

A friend who works in a bank told me that she always wanted to tattoo her eyebrows, but she was worried about insecurity. Well, this girl has hit the nail on the head. "Safety" must be the primary consideration. Let's take a look at it first-the safety risk of tattooing eyebrows.

There are four main factors that lead to the safety risk of eyebrow tattoo: anesthetic, needle, hygiene and pigment.

In order to improve students' safety awareness, a tattoo teacher said this sentence:

"There was a time when there was a MM who was a midwife among the students. When explaining anesthetics in class, she immediately said excitedly,' There are plenty of hospitals where I work, and I will bring you a big bucket tomorrow.'

I quickly stopped her and said,' The concentration of anesthetic is different and it is used in different places. The concentration of anesthetic used for tattoo is relatively low, which is different from that used in delivery room. Some people tattoo their guests with improper concentration of anesthetic for the sake of cheapness or out of ignorance. As a result, it is uncomfortable to use it on their eyebrows all day, and it is difficult to open their eyelids when using it on eyeliner. "

Not all anesthetics can be used for tattoo projects. Moreover, topical anesthetics belong to the category of national supervision and are not everywhere. Regular tattoo agencies will buy special anesthetics from safe and reliable channels, but it is not known how those small workshops with unknown qualifications and low quality get their goods. "

The layman looks at the excitement, and the expert looks at the doorway. It is estimated that many readers will suddenly realize when they see this-the original anesthetic is so important!

In fact, anesthetics are not only important, but also not cheap. Among the consumables in the tattoo industry, anesthetics can be said to have a higher cost, mainly for three reasons:

I would like to remind readers who only pay attention to the price of tattoos. Behind the low price are cheap materials and irregular operation. The direct consequence is that they save money in their pockets, but they may pay a high price on their health.

One of the main differences between the popular semi-permanent tattoo and the old tattoo is the needle.

Orthodox Korean semi-permanent needle is a physiological needle with high elasticity. When it touches the skin, the small needles arranged neatly on the needle piece will bend slightly in the same direction and will not be inserted into the skin like a blade. Therefore, this elastic needle can control the wound on the skin surface.

Speaking of which, a friend who is a beautician is not convinced.

N learned to tattoo eyebrows when she entered the business many years ago, and she also boasted that she knew how to do it. She said: I think there is no difference between the needles we use now and those we used before. The depth of the wound is controlled by the tattoo artist, regardless of the needle.

Well, I told her from my own experience that her point of view was wrong.

I used to buy various needles when I practiced outside, mainly to see the characteristics of different needles and whether the expensive needles given to us by the school were worth it.

After a period of practice, I found that although the current needles have greatly improved in shape and function compared with the past eyebrow tattooing, eyebrow planting and eyebrow embroidery times, some products with poor quality are also dangerous.

For example, there is a domestic round needle, and when I use it, I actually cut the training skin effortlessly. That's leather training. Much thicker than real skin.

People with strong hands don't say, with my strength, I use the Korean needle equipped by the school. If I want to draw a big hole in a training skin, I have to suck my milk.

The normal eyebrow tattoo depth is to leave scratches on the practice skin, and it takes some force to break the skin to see the shallow incision. It's just a shallow incision, not a big one that penetrates into the practice skin. And that round needle piece broke the training skin with one stroke, which is really sharp!

Then I used it to scrape several kinds of practice skins made of different materials, and the result was still the same. It is easy to completely cut the skin. Sweat! Fortunately, it didn't work on real people, otherwise it would be in trouble.

What if a Martha tattoo artist directly applied the newly bought needle to the customer's face without testing?

When tattooing eyebrows, the skin must be slightly damaged, otherwise it will not be painted. Although this kind of injury is not as deep as acne, nor as big as the wound surface of micro-needle and water-light needle, the sanitary conditions during the operation can not be ignored.

However, we often see some operating methods with worrying health conditions from peer exchanges and online videos, and the excerpts are as follows:

So, what is the operation mode of health norms? You can refer to this picture.

Apart from poor hygiene awareness, some tattoo artists have no basic safety awareness.

I once saw with my own eyes that some tattoo artists were designing eyebrow shapes for their guests, holding eyebrow pencil in their hands and making various gestures in front of them. I was numb at once, for fear that they would poke the guests' eyes blind. I studied in a makeup school in Hong Kong for three years, and also wandered around the crowded backstage of various shows. I have never seen such a dangerous scene among professional makeup artists.

Eyebrow tattooing is a technology with a long history. I first tattooed my eyebrows when I was twenty years old. In the following twenty years, I have met many people who have done tattoos, but I have never heard of the harm of eyebrow tattoo pigment to human body.

With the progress of science and technology, safe pigments are becoming more and more popular, so there is absolutely no need for manufacturers to engage in some toxic materials to ruin their business. As long as the pigments produced by regular manufacturers are used, the safety will be guaranteed.

However, I must tell you that "discoloration" is the most common and deceptive pigment!

I believe readers are familiar with the two blue eyebrows on the face of the granny who has tattooed eyebrows, right? Don't think that only old-fashioned tattoos will make your eyebrows blue. The same is true for the new semi-permanent use of inferior pigments.

The eyebrow tattoo artist mentioned at the beginning of this article is my classmate in a semi-permanent school. Her eyebrows were tattooed in a small shop in her hometown. It cost more than 3,000 yuan and turned blue a year later.

The other is my neighbor. Her eyebrows were tattooed at the same time as my second eyebrow tattoo. I don't know where she did it, but when she heard the price I offered, I saw the surprised expression on her face. Half a year has passed, and her eyebrows have obviously turned blue, while mine is still light brown, which many people say is natural.

In the online tattoo forum, I saw a novice asking an old hand a question: "What should I do if the eyebrow eyeliner for the guest turns blue?"

I am very surprised at these questions. My eyebrows and eyeliner didn't turn blue 20 years ago. What kind of paint are these people using now?

In addition, there is another side effect: turning red. The color on the eyebrows turns red, which is also quite a headache.

Looking through Taobao, you can see many colorful pigments. If the tattoo artist blindly pursues low cost and does not seek quality when purchasing goods, then the tattoo beauty and eyeliner discoloration are basically certain.

Earlier, I analyzed four factors that may cause security risks. In fact, the above risks can be avoided as long as the tattoo artist strictly controls the purchase channels of tools and consumables, does not buy low-priced anesthetics, needles and pigments from unknown sources, strictly abides by the operating specifications and hygiene standards, and does a good job in disinfection and replacement of instruments.

Not enough, from the current tattoo market, the biggest risk of eyebrow tattoo is ugliness!

A makeup artist who is very popular in China wrote on his blog:

So did what I saw. Because the entry threshold of tattoo industry is as low as that of service industries such as beauty salons, there are no restrictions on education, qualification, appearance, age and height. As long as you can spend a little training fee, you can get a license. Especially in the past two years, Korean semi-permanent popularity, suddenly emerged a large number of tattoo artists who can't even draw their own eyebrows.

As long as you look at Baidu, you can see what many originally handsome girls have been done by tattooists who have no aesthetic vision.

This is a picture I picked from Baidu's "tattoo eyebrow bar". This kind of eyebrow tattoo can be seen from time to time in the streets and supermarkets.

Badly tattooed eyebrows will disfigure. If you are eager to tattoo your eyebrows, I will give you some tips to avoid risks:

I hope this article can give some useful enlightenment to readers who intend to tattoo their eyebrows or have already done so.

The pain degree of eyebrow tattoo is closely related to three factors: 1. The use of anesthetics; 2. The depth of the needle; 3. The guest's physique

1. Use of anesthetic

The importance of the quality of anesthetics has been mentioned above, and two points are added here-the use interval and application mode of anesthetics.

Anesthetic use interval:

According to my observation, many tattoo crash courses on the market teach students to anesthetize their guests before designing their eyebrows. In other words, the tattoo artist quickly draws the eyebrows when the anesthetic works, and then immediately starts the operation. The biggest advantage of this is that it saves the tattoo artist's operation time. But what risks do you think are hidden behind it?

One possibility is that you are not satisfied with the eyebrow shape drawn by the tattoo artist, and she must change it, so the change time is delayed and the effect of anesthetic is weakened. When the eyebrow shape is completely drawn and the operation begins, the effect of anesthetic is almost gone, so it's strange that you don't feel pain.

Another possibility is that the tattoo artist draws the eyebrows in a hurry, so that you can have a simple look, induce by language, say "this eyebrow shape is the most popular now" and "this eyebrow shape suits you best", and then start the operation quickly. Because the effect of anesthetic is still there, you don't feel pain easily, but the effect after tattoo may make you regret it.

Application mode of anesthetic:

Uneven or insufficient application of anesthetic makes guests feel pain easily. A careful and experienced tattoo artist can not only master the severity of anesthetic, but also try the effect of anesthetic on local skin and ask the guests if they feel pain before starting the operation. She will not mechanically copy the "standard operating procedures" of thousands of people, but adjust her operating mode according to the actual reaction of the guests.

2. Acupuncture depth

Generally speaking, Wen Mei's wound exudes a little yellowish tissue fluid, slightly bloodshot. Anyone who has treated acne by himself knows that this depth is only on the surface of the skin and basically won't hurt.

However, it is easier said than done. The depth of acupuncture is closely related to the experience and skills of tattoo artists. I've never seen a tattoo artist always cut his guests into pieces.

3. The guest's physique

Some people are sensitive and painful, others are tenacious, and everyone feels differently.

It should be mentioned that among the three popular tattoo items (eyebrow tattoo, eyeliner tattoo and lip tattoo), the pain of eyebrow tattoo is the lowest.

The price is related to the consumption level of the city, the size and location of the store, and the price positioning of the tattoo artist, which cannot be generalized.

The above writing intention is not to give readers price guidance, but to let everyone know the little-known factors that can not be ignored in eyebrow tattoo.

number

The layman looks at the excitement, and the expert looks at the doorway. Although many tattoo artists attract guests under the banner of various awards, I suggest readers who plan to tattoo their eyebrows not to be fooled by these things. Careful observation and rational analysis are the most important.

I know that there are countless prize-winning channels in this industry, and I know how much water there is, so I won't go into details here.

Perhaps because I have read professional makeup modeling, I am picky about craftsmanship and aesthetics. At present, I haven't even met a satisfactory hairdresser, let alone a tattoo artist.
