Color Theory for Cosmetic Tattooists: Understanding Pigment Application and Selection for Permanent Make-up
To be a successful cosmetic tattooist is to be highly skilled at color theory. This concept is critical to grasp in your permanent make-up career as it is applied in every client treatment and will inform how you approach your techniques. Whether you are a newly graduated PMU artist or a seasoned cosmetic tattooist wanting to further understand your trade, this book provides the base knowledge required to build upon your use of color and pigments.
Although many cosmetic tattooing courses address this topic, the fundamentals of choosing pigments for certain skin types and diagnosis of color issues is often an area where training falls short. You simply cannot develop the depth of understanding required in a standard five-day foundation course to operate effectively. Color Theory for Cosmetic Tattooists provides a blueprint of fundamentals to expand upon and details:
How you can use the principles of color theory in practice to excel your business
How to avoid angry clients with unexpected tattoo color changes
How to pick a pigment line and the red flags to avoid in a brand
Why cosmetic tattoos change color and how to diagnose the true cause so you can correct issues
Key precautions when performing pigment skin tests to avoid adverse reactions
How to accurately assess client skin tone without mistaking a cool for a warm type
How to take the guesswork out of using pigment modifiers
What you absolutely shouldn't do when combining a pigment mixture
What the best pigments are for ombre brows, microblading, eyeliner and lip tattoos
When you should and shouldn't attempt color corrections and alternative approaches
The hidden client factors you need to know to avoid stressful complaints
Key mistakes to avoid that will impact healed color and results
Color Theory for Cosmetic Tattooists was written to address the lack of color focused texts available for permanent make-up practitioners. Ensuring that a pigment mixture is right and having the assurance that tattoos will heal as planned is a key concern in this industry. While this book is not intended to replace quality practical training, it aims to provide tattooists with fundamental concepts to build experience upon.
