I have personally had 6 MRI's.                                                                                                                                               MRI of the Brain                                                                                                                                                                Did I feel any pain, discomfort or irritation during any of these MRI's? "I DID NOT FEEL ANYTHING FROM THE MRI'S"! I had my eyeliner done in 1988, my brows in 1988, with a colour refresher in 2003 and 2011 and I had full lip colour in 1993. About the MRI's Yes, that is a lot of MRI's  for one person! All of the MRI's were of my head. I will share with you what each facility asked prior to my MRI's. Prior to each MRI the technician: 1. Asked if I had permanent makeup and asked how...

©  Traditional (i.e., decorative) and cosmetic tattoo procedures have been performed for thousands of years. Cosmetic tattoos or “permanent cosmetics” are used to reshape, recolor, recreate, or modify eye shadow, eyeliner, eyebrows, lips, beauty marks, and cheek blush. Additionally, permanent cosmetics are used aesthetically to enhance nipple-areola reconstruction procedures and for other applications. Unfortunately, there is much confusion regarding the overall safety aspects of permanent cosmetics. For example, based on a few reports of symptoms localized to the tattooed area during MR imaging, many radiologists have refused to perform examinations on individuals with permanent cosmetics, particularly tattooed eyeliner. This undue concern for possible...

It is your client’s choice to have an elective procedure performed! It is also up to the client to make the decision if the procedure is worth the anxiety and discomfort. No one is forced to have these elective procedures performed. In other words, it is the clients choice to accept responsibility for the procedure from start to finish. It is the technicians responsibility to explain in detail all phases of each requested procedure. Each client’s level of pain tolerance is as individual as they are. We love to perform permanent cosmetics on someone that already has permanent makeup, artistic tattoos, piercings and brandings. Why?...

Not Necessarily Safe Spring break is on the way, or maybe summer vacation. Time to pack your swim suit, hit the beach, and perhaps indulge in a little harmless fun. What about getting a temporary tattoo to mark the occasion? Who could it hurt to get a temporary tattoo? It could hurt you, if you actually get one. Temporary tattoos typically last from three days to several weeks, depending on the product used for coloring and the condition of the skin. Unlike permanent tattoos, which are injected into the skin, temporary tattoos marketed as "henna" are applied to the skin's surface. However, "just...

Chronic infection with cold sores may affect thinking, especially in sedentary folks, study suggests The above photo shows how a herpetic outbreak can affect the final outcome of permanent repigmentation of lip colour. Now that the pigment colour on the  lipliner is compromised, the client will have to wear a lip stain or regular lipstick to correct the imperfections of the lip symmetry. Most physicians recommend that clients with a history of herpetic outbreaks should be on an antiviral (zovirax or valtrex) at least 3 days pre and 3 days post their initial and colour refresher lip colour procedures. This will lessen the likely-hood of...

Nothing can be more surprising or dismaying then the aftermath of faulty after care.  Usually these challenges with pigment loss or infection etc. can leave the client as well as technician with the thoughts of “what went wrong?” Sometimes you can pinpoint the culprit, at other times it not an easy answer, as it could be colors used, improper placement, incorrect needle grouping or passes placed into the skin. The answer………..the x factor……..x equals unknown.  It’s often hard to predict outcomes of procedures.  Your work could just be exquisite, and BAM……what happened?  The clients may or may not know, or admit too,...
