When first considered, cosmetic tattoos may easily be termed as the quick fix for lazy makeup wearers. These lackadaisical people that feel they are simply too exceptional to take the time to put on makeup.
 But then again, who actually does like to take the time to put on cosmetics these days? What about people who are physically unable to apply makeup? (Yes, there are hundreds of people with a disability causing this shortcoming.) And how can people be expected to look gorgeous first thing in the morning with just ordinary makeup that wears off and smears? Oh I know! They can get cosmetic tattoos!
Unlike ordinary tattoos, the intent of cosmetic tattoos is to be as inconspicuous possible while still giving the individual the look of makeup. However, just like ordinary tattoos, permanent make-up is implemented by placing solid particles of color under the skin with a needle. When choosing an establishment to apply your permanent makeup, research is key. Not only should you check out the professionalism and qualifications of a place, but also the small details such as the ingredients of the pigments and color additives being placed in your skin. Although, if done properly, there are very rarely any side effects or allergic reactions, there have been some reports of itching and irritation during exposure to intense sunlight and MRI's. Even though this is rare, you should always inform your doctor before an MRI.Cosmetic Tattoos can be given for several reasons from filling in a thin eyebrow, to just applying your basic makeup, to camouflaging an old scar. I know many of you have an image in your head of bright colors and a clown face, but unless otherwise requested, cosmetic makeup is very subtle and complimenting to your natural face. Not to mention, with organizations bearing such catchy names as Wake Up With Makeup, it's pretty hard to resist the prospect of always looking your best - day and night.
