Permanent, but not to last for
a life-time
Cosmetic tattoos and ordinary tattoos differ most
importantly in their life-span. While ordinary tattoos are applied to deeper layers
of the skin, they do not fade and so last for a life-time. Cosmetic tattoos, however
- since they are being applied to the face - cannot last forever, sink only
into the upper layers of the skin and fades completely in 3 to 5 years' time.
On the
one hand, we may get bored with our permanent make-up or even, the trends may
change. But most significantly, as claimed by current beauty science,
lineaments of our face will look different in 10 to 20 years' time. This
means that the lines drawn today become distorted over time. You may have also heard
of "cosmetic tattoos" made several years ago, claiming never to fade. This
holds true. They will last forever, as they basically were ordinary tattoos and
not cosmetic ones. Today, we use highly professional machinery for cosmetic
tattooing, which makes all the difference. Not to mention the acupunctural
needles made out of special medical metals, as well as the cosmetic paints,
which are a guarantee for results of the highest quality.
