Semi PMU is Really a Permanent Face Tattoo

Full Transcript

Semi-permanent makeup does not exist. Why are people telling clients that their brows are going to fade in two and three years? Hundreds of people have come into this studio alone and have said, "My artist told me that my brows were going to fade in 2 or 3 years and that it was semi-permanent." And meanwhile, we're 5 6 7 8 years later and the pigment's still there. It hasn't faded at all. There's no such thing as semi-permanent makeup. The only thing that would make a tattoo semi-permanent is if you didn't put it deep enough for it to stay in the skin. If you're telling people, "Hey, this is a permanent tattoo I'm doing on your face," and they decide to do it, that's cool. I'm totally cool with that. But when you misrepresent it and you tell some young girl that in a couple years those brows are going to fade and they're going to be gone, that is irresponsible and it is dishonest.
