Is it okay to go to a tattoo parlor or nail salon to get permanent makeup?
There is no question that permanent makeup is basically a cosmetic tattoo, but it is a separate specialty within the field of tattooing using different equipment and colorants. Most importantly, specialized training with unique standards is required in order to properly perform this service. While those who pursue training in permanent makeup run the gamut from doctors to manicurists, there is no one particular education background that guarantees superior results for the client except that permanent makeup should at least be the most regularly performed procedure of the person who is doing the work.
Ever notice how all the well-regarded tattoo artists tend to specialize in their own signature styles? If certain regular makeup artists cannot even deliver subtle facial corrections using natural-looking makeup, what makes you think a tattoo artist can no matter what claims or certifications they make?
