Some believe that permanent makeup is the best way to become beautiful with a one-time investment. Yes, of course, with age, facial features become more blurred and not so bright. However, with an inept master and the wrong approach, you have every chance of turning into an aged doll. Therefore, given the increased popularity of permanent makeup over the past decade, we could not help but mention it. After all, the tattoo procedure has a number of contraindications, which some masters forget to warn about and many clients do not know about.

What is permanent makeup or tattooing?

In order to understand the nuances, let's understand for ourselves what the procedure itself is.

In fact, this is the same tattoo, only not at such a deep level as its classical version is done. Most often it is used to emphasize or correct the shape of facial features.

So they usually do:

• Eyebrow tattoo,
• lip tattoo,
• eyelid tattoo or eyelash tattoo.

To understand if you are ready for such a procedure, just ask yourself if you want to go with the same make-up for several years in a row? If the answer is yes, then this procedure is for you.

But first I would like to note that any intervention in which needles are involved carries a risk. And you should be warned about these risks even before the procedure. But, unfortunately, unscrupulous masters for some reason "forget" to do this. First of all, this concerns the fact that tattooing has many contraindications. Therefore, we decided to tell you about them.

Contraindications for the permanent makeup procedure

To date, there are two types of contraindications to tattooing. The first type includes contraindications, in which people are strictly forbidden to do permanent makeup. To the second - those in the presence of which it is undesirable to carry out the procedure. It is worth noting that, subject to certain conditions, contraindications of the second type cease to be an obstacle to the procedure.

Who is strictly forbidden to get a tattoo?

This procedure is prohibited for the following patients who:

• complex forms of diabetes;
• chronic diseases in the acute stage;
• severe diseases of internal organs, including kidney and liver failure;
• poor blood clotting;
• HIV and AIDS;
• mental disorders and epilepsy;
• state of drug or alcohol intoxication;
• oncological diseases;
• autoimmune diseases;
• allergic reactions.

Minority is also a contraindication. In the same way as tattooing, permanent tattooing for persons under the age of 18 is prohibited.

Undesirable symptoms for a tattoo procedure

Temporarily it is worth postponing the procedure of applying permanent makeup, if you have:

• poor health, ARVI and acute respiratory infections, fever,
• exacerbation of acne and inflammatory processes on the skin,
• you are taking strong drugs
• there are moles, papillomas and warts at the site of the intended application of makeup,
• herpes in the acute stage.
• pregnancy and lactation,
• menstruation period,
• plastic surgery at the site of the intended application of permanent makeup.

It should be noted that if any of these factors disappear and there are no other contraindications, the procedure becomes possible.

How to take care of your skin after getting a tattoo

Naturally, during the procedure for applying a tattoo to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe eyebrows, eyes or lips, the skin is damaged. She needs time to fully recover.

In order for the applied pigment to remain even and the applied form not to be damaged, do not scratch the place of the coating or peel off the skin crust during healing.

The specialist may also recommend chlorhexidine-based antiseptics or various creams for the speedy healing of skin lesions. Also, for a while, you need to abandon peeling procedures, as well as visiting baths, saunas, etc.

What do you think about permanent makeup, share your experience on the site

Probably, each of us has such a friend or acquaintance who likes to experiment with her appearance, keeps up with the times and experiences almost all fashionable novelties. I also have such a friend Katya. Sometimes she manages to persuade me to try something new on myself, sometimes not. I, unlike her, do not conduct experiments without first studying the product or service, and without reading the reviews.

This time, the idea came to her blond head to get an eyebrow tattoo. Before that, she made herself a tattoo on her shoulder and on her ankle.

I immediately refused a tattoo, because I absolutely do not like tattoos and consider them vulgar. Especially on the female body. But her body is her business. And now she calls me and happily talks about the delights of eyebrow tattooing: how convenient it is (like you don’t have to pluck it every week), beautiful, practical, and most importantly for a long time . A friend of mine did it and she's very happy with it. Well, Katya could not help but try, and she was very determined, but I, as usual, began to doubt and began to collect information about this procedure.

How is eyebrow tattoo done?

To begin with, there are several eyebrow tattooing (coloring) techniques: shading, shotting, hair (European and Asian style), 3D volume and manual reconstruction. I will not describe each technique in detail, but only describe the principle of this procedure. And those who still decide to make themselves a tattoo will study each technique on their own and choose the right one.

Skin coloring is carried out by a tattoo artist or cosmetologist who has the appropriate skills and has received special training for this procedure. During the procedure, a specialist, using a manipulative pen, pierces the top layer of the skin and injects a coloring pigment with a needle. The procedure takes about 1.5 hours. The procedure is quite painful, judging by the reviews. Although local anesthetics are used. After it, it is necessary to go through a rehabilitation period and carefully care for the treated area. .

In 99 percent of cases, after a short period of time, correction will be required to give the perfect shape to your eyebrows.

The choice of the master who will do the tattoo is extremely important. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with his portfolio, if any. . Or go to the master on the recommendation of friends who he already had.

Pros and cons of eyebrow tattooing

Eyebrow tattooing, like any other procedure, has its pros and cons. Let's figure it out, so these pluses are significant.

The advantages include:

1. Save time on make-up.
2. Savings on various eyebrow products.
3. Save money on visiting salons for eyebrow tinting.
4. Tattoo is long term.
5. Tattooed eyebrows are noticeable.
6. The ability to correct the natural asymmetry of the eyebrows.
7. Tattooed eyebrows will not let you down in the sauna, swimming pool or on the beach, because the paint will not flow from them during any water procedures.

Cons of eyebrow tattooing:

• Tattooed eyebrows are noticeable.
• Go out of fashion.
• The coloring pigment may change color over time; which means that black eyebrows can become blue, brown - brick or pink; some pigments can give a green or purple tint. The saddest thing is that this unwanted shade on the skin can persist for years.
• Tattooing will become a problem when changing hair color or wanting to change the shape of the eyebrows.
• May get bored.
• Over the years, it can “float”, that is, sink along with the tissues of the face
• risk of infection.
• Adds age.
• It's no longer fashionable.
• The only way to get rid of it is with a laser.
• High probability of getting an unsatisfactory result.
• The high price of this procedure (and further regular corrections).

In my opinion, the listed pluses are rather dubious, with the exception, perhaps, of the last two points.

If the eyebrows are extremely unsuccessful by nature, then perhaps it is worth correcting them. Although, in my opinion, this can be done in a more gentle way than tattooing. As for saving on salons and funds, then let me: what kind of savings is this if the procedure itself is not cheap at all, plus the same expensive regular corrections. In addition, after the procedure, a rehabilitation period follows, during which you will also need to spend money to restore the affected skin. I do not think that all of the above will be cheaper than buying an eyebrow pencil or dyeing your eyebrows in the salon.

On average, the price of a quality tattoo varies within 20,000 rubles per procedure. Correction within - 8000-10000. If you are offered to get an eyebrow tattoo for 5,000 rubles, the risk of getting a poor-quality result increases significantly.

You were probably surprised that the item “tattooed eyebrows are noticeable”, I attributed it to both pluses and minuses. Let me explain. Noticeable bright eyebrows suggest bright eyes, otherwise it will look comical. And the statement that eyebrow tattooing will save time on makeup is definitely false. In my opinion, just the opposite tattooed eyebrows oblige you to do makeup regularly and you are unlikely to run out without makeup . Well, unless you plan, of course, to scare or make your colleagues at work laugh.

Eyebrow tattoo contraindications

There are contraindications to this procedure.

• Diabetes.
• Blood diseases.
• Bronchial asthma.
• Skin diseases.
• Predisposition to the formation of keloid scars.

Never hide the presence of diseases from a specialist. This is dangerous not only for your beauty, but also for your health in general!

My friend's personal experience

Now about the results of the tattoo, which I personally observed and am sincerely glad that I did not succumb to Katerina's persuasion. I can only speak about the procedure itself from the words of a friend: it turned out to be very painful. And the result was just terrible.

I do not know who advised her this "specialist", but her eyebrows were made very wide. I then measured the width of the eyebrows - 7 mm. Katya is a very petite girl and her face is small, and those eyebrows looked like a real disaster on her face. She cried for a very long time both from the result and from what then began to happen to her eyebrows.

The first two weeks, the eyebrows were covered with a crust and itched terribly. They had to be processed with special means, which are assigned individually (as the master said). After all the crusts came off, the result became clearly visible, and it was frankly unsuccessful. . Katya went to the master to evaluate his work himself. The master was pleased and said that everything looks great, but in some places it needs to be corrected. I signed up for a correction: again a crust, itching, processing, tears.

Now Katya is saving up money to remove those terrible eyebrows from her face with a laser, but for now she has to mask them with special means and draw new eyebrows on top. Here is such an unsuccessful experiment she turned out.

What do cosmetologists say about eyebrow tattooing?

You will be surprised, but cosmetologists unanimously argue that if there is no special need, then it is better to refuse it.

There are only a couple of exceptions: obvious natural asymmetry and scars.

All other arguments, according to cosmetologists, are not convincing. In addition, they offer a completely reasonable way out for those who still do not want to dye their eyebrows daily - this is henna.

Absolutely natural and harmless way. And the color range is quite wide: from golden to dark brown. In addition, when dyeing eyebrows with henna, you will not only give them color, but also strengthen them thanks to the beneficial properties of henna.

Cosmetologists are convinced that naturalness and naturalness, correctly emphasized with a minimum of cosmetics, looks much more attractive than tattooed eyebrows, eyes, lips and other things. .

Are you still deciding whether to do it or not? Then look at the photos of girls on the Internet before and after eyebrow tattooing. Your doubts will be completely dispelled.

Eyebrow tattooing, although not a surgical procedure, is considered a serious intervention in the body. Think for yourself: your skin is injured, a foreign substance is introduced into it! Of course, everyone, without exception, cannot do this: permanent makeup has a number of contraindications, which you must familiarize yourself with before the procedure.

During eyebrow tattooing, the skin is exposed to chemical and mechanical stress, so the procedure has a number of contraindications, ignoring which is dangerous for the client's health. There are absolute and relative prohibitions, in both cases the cosmetologist himself has the right to refuse to perform the procedure.

Absolute contraindications

They mean that the procedure is prohibited. If a person hides the fact of having one of these contraindications, the consequences can be serious for both the client and the master.

Diabetes

In addition to metabolic disorders, diabetes affects small vessels and nerves, which is why even minor cuts heal for a long time. As a result, the recovery period increases, the risk of infection increases, the pigment is removed faster.

If the sugar level is normal, permanent makeup can be done with the permission of the attending physician.

Somatic, neurological, psychological diseases

A person diagnosed with this group does not always control their gestures, especially during painful procedures. If he makes an unexpected sudden movement, the artist may ruin the drawing or hit the eye with a tattoo tool, which will lead to serious injury.

Low blood clotting

It is characteristic of leukemia, leukemia, hemophilia, anemia. The presence of these diseases will lead to increased bleeding during the procedure, which will prevent the introduction of the pigment and make it difficult for the master. The same problems occur with high blood pressure.

Tendency to form keloid scars

Damage to the skin with a needle or maniple can cause the growth of renewed scar tissue, especially if the cosmetologist violates the pigment injection technology. Eyebrow scars are difficult to hide, so it's best to tint the hairs with mascara or shape them with a pencil.

Oncological diseases

The presence of neoplasms means that the human immune system is weakened, which means that the possibility of infection is higher. Moles cannot be pierced with a needle, therefore, if they are located on the eyebrows, the doctor will prohibit tattooing.

HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis

There is a risk of infection of the master, as well as the client, with a secondary infection, since the immunity of a person suffering from severe infectious diseases is greatly weakened.

Pregnancy and lactation

Pain caused by punctures or micro cuts will trigger preterm labor in the last trimester. And the changing hormonal background will negatively affect the durability of the pigment: it will fade in spots.

During the procedure, the dye enters the blood in small quantities - this exposes the child to serious danger.

Relative prohibitions

Some contraindications to tattooing do not mean abandoning this procedure forever - a visit to the salon will only have to be postponed until complete recovery. In some cases, the procedure is possible with the permission of the attending physician and subject to a number of conditions.

Skin diseases, injuries, burns, cuts, exacerbation of acne

The introduction of pigment and damage to the skin with a blade or needle exacerbates the inflammatory process.

Herpes in the acute stage

The cosmetologist will refuse you the procedure if he notices herpes on the lips, as there is a possibility of infection of the master. Microtraumas, which are inevitable during tattooing, activate this virus, and if it is already present in an active form, the disease will be extremely difficult.

Conjunctivitis

Tattooing facilitates the course of allergic conjunctivitis, as it reduces eye irritation with cosmetics, but it can only be done outside the acute stage.

plastic surgery

If a plastic surgery was performed in the area of ​​​​the proposed tattoo, a surgeon's consultation is necessary. He will tell you when you can do permanent makeup. For example, eyebrow microblading is possible no earlier than 6 months after blepharoplasty.

Benign neoplasms

Warts and papillomas should be removed in advance, they will increase in size if they are pierced with a needle, and new rashes may also appear. Moles cannot be injured at all.

Alcohol or drug intoxication

Pain is exacerbated by the effect of alcohol on the body, the ability of the skin to regenerate decreases. Also, strong drinks dilate blood vessels, increase blood pressure and cause increased bleeding, which makes it difficult for the master to work.

Critical days

Menstruation in itself is not a contraindication to tattooing, but it will be better if you set the date of the session in the middle of the cycle.

During menstruation, blood clotting is reduced, hormonal changes affect the pain threshold and reduce the effect of any procedures performed during this period.

Age up to eighteen years

Children and teenagers can get permanent makeup for serious cosmetic defects. It usually serves as an adjunct to plastic surgery methods, but even in this case, parental consent is required.

Feeling unwell of any origin

Immunity at this time is weakened, tissues heal more slowly, so there is a risk of complications. Postpone the visit to the beautician until complete recovery.

Prohibitions before and after the procedure

In addition to contraindications to permanent makeup, there are some lifestyle restrictions, non-compliance with which may adversely affect the process or result. 24 days before the procedure it is not recommended:

• drink strong tea, coffee;
• sunbathe;
• take medication;
• do mesotherapy, injections of preparations based on botulinum toxin.

After the procedure, until the crusts are completely removed, it is prohibited:

• scratch, rub the skin, tear off the crusts;
• apply decorative cosmetics to damaged areas of the face;
• use scrubs, creams, tonics, lotions (except those recommended by a cosmetologist);
• do sport;
• visit baths, swimming pools, saunas.

Also, you can not soak and steam out your eyebrows while taking a bath. It is better to limit yourself to quick showers during the entire recovery period, while it is important to ensure that water does not get on damaged areas of the skin.

Side effects

Compliance with the rules reduces the risk of side effects and complications, but does not guarantee their complete absence. Most often, clients face the following problems:

Edema

Most of all, thin dry skin with a pronounced lymph retention is prone to the appearance of edema. These swellings usually go away in a few days without treatment. Violation of the pigment injection technology by the master can cause persistent edema, which can only be eliminated with the help of the attending physician. Pay attention to the equipment: Chinese-made tattoo machines and maniples deeply injure the skin and damage blood vessels. The use of anesthetic ointments or injections also causes more persistent swelling.

crusts

Scab formation is a common reaction of the skin to superficial injury, at which time it requires special care. It is recommended to apply a wound-healing ointment on the eyebrows at least twice a day, make sure that water does not get on the injured area.

Hematomas

Compliance with the technology of permanent makeup allows you to reduce the risk of hematomas to a minimum. However, girls with fragile vessels and increased bleeding, as well as those who take drugs with adrenaline or epinephrine, may experience bruising. On the skin in the area of ​​the eyebrows, they will last 3-4 days, on the border of the lips they will pass faster. The appearance of hematomas does not affect the result of the procedure and does not pose a threat to health, therefore, specific treatment is not required.

Tattoo: contraindications for the procedure

Tattooing is the best assistant for any woman: it favorably emphasizes natural beauty, simplifies daily preparations and, in general, changes life for the better. However, in some situations it is not recommended to carry out the procedure or it is required to wait some time for the session, as a preliminary consultation with a doctor and special preparation for the tattoo procedure may be necessary. The reason for this is relative, and sometimes absolute contraindications for applying permanent makeup to some clients.

Absolute contraindications for tattooing

Due to the likelihood of side effects and complications, it is not recommended to get a tattoo in the presence of one of the following diseases:

• poor clotting and any blood diseases;
• insulin-dependent form of diabetes mellitus;
• acute inflammatory diseases;
• severe form of any somatic disease;
• epilepsy;
• bronchial asthma;
• oncological diseases;
• mental disorders;
• formations of unknown etiology;
• tendency to keloid scars;
• birthmarks in the intended tattoo area.

Note: however, in some cases, even in the presence of one of the above diseases, the application of permanent makeup is still possible, for this you need to consult with your doctor and get his permission for such a procedure.

Relative contraindications for tattooing

In the presence of any of the relative contraindications (described below), it is recommended to undergo prophylactic preparation with appropriate medications in order to obtain the most successful result of the tattoo procedure.

Contraindications that require preliminary preparation for the procedure:

• allergies (hypoallergenic pigments are used in permanent makeup, but it is important to consult a doctor if there are any allergic reactions to anesthetic creams and other drugs used during a tattoo session);
• high blood pressure (people with hypertension should have their blood pressure measured before getting a tattoo and take a blood pressure medication if necessary)
• inflamed skin in the area of ​​​​the future tattoo (in the presence of purulent foci, you must first visit a dermatologist);
• herpes in the acute stage (before the tattoo procedure, you should definitely drink a course of an antiviral drug).

Important: It should be borne in mind that for people who suffer from herpetic rashes on the lips, permanent makeup is simply indispensable, because thanks to it:

a) there is no need to constantly use gloss, lipstick and other decorative cosmetics, which is one of the main causes of lip irritation, and sometimes their infection;

b) the border of the lips is compacted, which prevents the frequent rash of herpes.

tendency to inflammatory diseases of the mucous membrane of the eyes (for example, conjunctivitis).

Note: for applying permanent makeup in the presence of such a relative contraindication, a small preliminary check is recommended:

In case of an allergic nature of the disease, a skin test is required - apply a small amount of ointment and pigment to the elbow bend, which will be used during the procedure;

With the infectious nature of the disease, it is necessary to consult an ophthalmologist who will advise special drops to normalize the condition of the mucous membrane of the eyes.

Note: for people suffering from conjunctivitis, tattooing is not only possible, but really necessary, since the procedure eliminates the need to use decorative cosmetics, which is a serious irritant for the mucous membrane of the eyes, to the maximum. Consequently, after the session, the negative external influence decreases, and the disease subsides.

You will also have to wait a little with applying a tattoo when:

• pregnancy and lactation (this procedure is completely contraindicated in the first trimester of pregnancy. As for the second and third trimesters and the period of breastfeeding, permanent makeup is possible at this time, but only if the procedure is easily tolerated (i.e. without the use of anesthetics) and consent obtained from the supervising physician);
• menstruation (the best time for a tattoo is the middle of the cycle);
• weakening of the immune system (during the rehabilitation period after surgery or a serious illness);
• elevated temperature;
• taking strong antibiotics, dietary supplements, etc.;
• any degree of intoxication.

Despite the fact that today eyebrow tattooing is considered a safe and convenient procedure, it has a number of limitations - serious diseases, rashes and an allergic reaction come to the fore.

Eyebrow permanent tattooing is considered one of the best ways to save time spent on daily makeup, as well as minimize obvious imperfections (thickness, color, uneven hair growth) or enhance natural beauty. At the same time, some people are prohibited from doing this procedure due to certain circumstances. The established contraindications make it possible for girls and women to carry out exclusively the biotattoo procedure, in which henna is used. In more detail about what it is, what are the contraindications for eyebrow tattooing, are there any restrictions and special recommendations before and after the procedure, it is worth clarifying before the manipulation - this will help to avoid consequences that are dangerous to the body.

Doing permanent makeup is prohibited for people who suffer from blood diseases (for example, poor clotting), and if there are acute inflammatory processes in the body, or birthmarks in the area where the tattoo will be located.

To avoid possible complications and side effects, the following contraindication to permanent makeup is taken into account - an epileptic state (epilepsy in any form). In addition, contraindications are also diabetes mellitus, somatic illness, mental problems, oncology.

Despite contraindications, the procedure for eyebrow tattooing is still possible even with one of the listed diseases. But only the attending physician can allow it to be done after the patient has undergone the necessary examinations - before deciding to take this step, you should go for a consultation with the doctor.

Relative limits

In these cases, applying this type of makeup is not recommended for some time. This restriction applies if there are viral colds that undermine human health.

Eyebrows should be painted when there are no acne, purulent rashes on the skin. Permanent makeup is allowed to be done during the period of complete recovery, otherwise it will be harmful to the skin and can further aggravate the situation.

If a patient has previously been diagnosed with a malignant tumor, eyebrows can be dyed only after a full consultation with a doctor, who must give his consent in writing.

With extreme caution, the procedure should be approached by people who have problems with blood pressure. First of all, this restriction applies to patients suffering from hypertension. The fact is that microblading or eyebrow tattooing can provoke a pressure surge that harms the body, so you should bring your condition back to normal before the procedure. It is recommended to take a drug that has an antihypertensive effect.

Do not recommend painting during the course of drugs that have a strong effect on the body (taking antibiotics, anticoagulants, corticosteroids). Such a procedure should be carried out no earlier than 14 days after the course of treatment is completed. It all depends on the regimen of administration and the characteristics of the drugs.

It is forbidden to do makeup for a nursing mother and women in position - clinical trials in this area have been conducted only on animals, but the ban applies to people. So, breastfeeding and the period of pregnancy is the time during which each intervention in the human body can cause a negative reaction. Any manipulation is carried out only in case of emergency (for example, for medicinal purposes, when the benefits outweigh the potential harm). Since eyebrow tinting is not a first priority procedure, it should be postponed until a safer period.

Other contraindications include underage, menstruation, plastic surgery performed in the area of ​​the planned tattoo.

The procedure should not be performed on minor patients, unless they have pronounced cosmetic defects. If a person has previously undergone plastic surgery, before applying permanent makeup, some time must pass (at least six months) for all tissue cells to heal completely and the condition to stabilize.

During the period of menstruation, the body of a girl and a woman has an increased sensitivity, which enhances any pain syndrome. In addition, at this time there is a decrease in blood clotting, so such an intervention should be postponed until the end of menstruation, it is best to transfer it to the middle of the cycle.

If there are papillomas, moles or warts on the skin, they should be removed before applying the product to these areas. With extreme caution, the procedure should be approached by people with herpes, allergic diseases, autoimmune disorders.

In order to protect yourself from undesirable consequences as much as possible, it is initially recommended to conduct a simple test for the tolerance of drugs (pigments and agents) that will be applied during the procedure.

Despite the fact that today eyebrow tattooing is considered a safe and convenient procedure, it has limitations - serious diseases, rashes and an allergic reaction come to the fore.

How to behave before and after the procedure

Before doing an eyebrow tattoo, one should not drink alcohol the day before, and it is not recommended to drink tea and coffee on the day of the procedure. For several days, analgesics, vitamins of group C, aspirin are excluded. It is also forbidden to pluck your eyebrows.

Depending on the type of skin and the characteristics of the body, eyebrow tattooing can heal for several days. But if the procedure was performed by a professional, the face will look normal, so you can attend school or work without fear for your appearance.

You can not wet your eyebrows after tattooing, as well as visit a solarium for some time and sunbathe in the sun, even if biotattooing was performed, in which henna was used. For speedy healing, it is recommended to smear the eyebrows with Boro Plus (just before going to bed), but before applying it, you need to rinse them with clean water.

Conclusion

If eyebrow tattooing is planned, the pros and cons must be evaluated before manipulation. This procedure is very convenient for women who do makeup daily. It saves both time and energy. Tattooing will have a positive effect if it is done by an experienced and good master.

At the same time, many women are interested in whether eyebrow tattooing is harmful. No, if there are no contraindications and restrictions for its implementation, there is no allergic reaction, and only high-quality products and preparations are used during the procedure.
