Permanent Makeup Artists as well as Tattoo Artists, are working with plastic surgeons to create the realistic effects of 3-D areola tattooing

Permanent Makeup Artists as well as Tattoo Artists, are working with plastic surgeons to create the realistic effects of 3-D areola tattooing. Here, at Beau Institute, we offer this specialized training and prepare these artists to enter into this most rewarding extension of their career. 

 

                Why has the 3-D areola tattooing become more in demand? There are a few developments that have increased this demand. Most significant and disturbing is the growing number of breast cancers being diagnosed. It is staggering and the blessing is we are seeing so many lives saved by today's medicine. Another factor is the increased use of radiation. This often compromises the breast tissue and can prevent the option of a nipple graft. Also, many survivors just say they didn't want to go through another surgical procedure and simply opt for the 3-D areola tattoo. Many women feel a grafted nipple could show through their clothing if they were not wearing a bra. They enjoy going without a bra since they truly don't need one. Lastly, the reconstructive breast surgeons are seeking artists to accommodate their patients and compliment their skillful and beautiful surgeries. 

               Combined, these make for an exciting career, filled with gratification. Creating the 3-D effect, which includes mimicking Montgomery Glands and the creation and protrusion of a nipple is just an amazing effect. Our clients tell us they feel familiar, once again, and their breasts look so real and natural. They express to us how they feel more confident and more feminine.  

                Since we are a training institute, with ongoing classes, we DO NOT CHARGE FOR AREOLA TATTOOING. We also find many women that were reconstructed years ago just never completed their journey with areola tattooing. They had just had it and couldn't bring themselves to do one more thing. Insurance may have changed, surgeons have moved or retired and they would have to pay out-of-pocket for this procedure. It gives us great pleasure to be able to offer this completion at no charge.

When and Where I Use Carbon for Eyeliner

How to Achieve the Safest Blackest Black Eyeliner with Face Inks Black Noir and Onyx Carbon Keeping black eyeliner, black, has been the quest of permanent makeup artists for years.

Various skin tones and undertones play a huge part in how black the eyeliner will heal or how quickly it will turn that familiar bluish color. If you are attempting consistency, you are probably finding it just isn’t there.

Many practitioners experiment with carbons and other inks on the eyelids. This historically has produced and continues to produce a great number of migrations, since inks lack a particle size and river easily through the skin.

The inner and outer canthus (corners of the eye) are especially vulnerable to migration and increases when the top and bottom eyeliner are met at these corners. However, many migrations are seen across the entire top and bottom eyelids. If you are gambling by using inks on the eyelids and not seeing migration as of yet, it won’t be long before you do.

Fair blondes and natural redheads will tend to migrate even sooner than olive complexions. These fairer skin tones also tend to turn the black to blue, much quicker, sometimes in just weeks.

So, how do I achieve the safest and blackest black eyeliner? I use Face Inks Black Noir, for the eyelids and then use a carbon ink, called Onyx Carbon, (completely different from our regular Onyx) BETWEEN THE TOP LASHES ONLY!!! I cannot stress this enough!!!

Onyx Carbon CANNOT BE USED ON BOTTOM EYELIDS!!!

Face Inks Black Noir, when smeared out will show a warm base and I have found this formula to remain blackest. It has a thinner consistency, and slips right into the skin. But, I NEVER GUARANTEE that one’s eyeliner will heal or remain as black as an over-the-counter black liquid eyeliner. Some will and some won’t!

I explain this to my clients by asking them to picture a professional basketball court. Every complexion is represented there and most are tattooed. On those that have a lot of black in their tattoos, what color do you see that is dominant? They are all bluish but in different degrees. Very few are jet black. That is the story of eyeliner, as well.

However, using the Onyx Carbon between the top eyelashes, frames the eyes with the deepest black, possible. I find it also helps to make the Black Noir appear blacker. Over the years, I have seen my clients with various skin tones return and it remains black and beautiful.

Do not be tempted to bring the Onyx Carbon up on the eyelid! Keep it between the top lashes and don’t go too far toward the inner canthus. Keep in mind, it has no particle size. It is ink!!! When used properly, it’s a gorgeous effect.
