Human skin comes in a range of colours, part of what gives skin its colour are soecial cells within our epidermis which are called Melanocyte, this produces melanin a brown in colour pigment. No matter what your ethnic heritage is all people have these cells. Clients with darker skin tones may be more susceptible to the condition PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.) Clients with PIH may develop hyperactive melanocyte cells in their skin and if their skin experiences any form of irritation their melanocyte may be stimuated to produce more melanin, therefore meaning certain skin tones are best not to be tattooed.
Colour can be difficult but we do endeavour to match as close as we can to either your colour request or the colour most suitable for your skin tone. We do not use black alone on eyebrows becasue they can take on a blue/black affect over time as can be seen in some body tattoos.
It should always be noted that a clients work always looks darker and stronger when first finished and is not how your final make up will look. It settles and heals and softens to a more natural softer tone.
Many Before and After Client Photos are available at our Consultations on request!
