Female Tattoo Artists Face Challeges to Break Into Business

The tattoo industry remains a male-dominated industry. Female tattoo artists face many challenges to break into the tattoo industry and make names for themselves. Some female tattoo artists get their start by working with the cosmetic aspect of tattooing, applying permanent eyeliner, permanent lip liner and such; while other female tattooists are simply artists following a passion and a dream.

The celebrity status of the super-model-tattoo-artists like Kat von D and Lea Vendetta have attracted attention to the work of female tattooists, but have also set a high standard for their female colleagues in the industry. While male tattoo artists can be a little sloppy and continue to have clients in their chairs, female tattoo artists are held to a higher standard of fashion and hygiene, and are often judged by their appearance not their work.

Permanent Makeup Helps Restore Strength and Confidence in Scottish Nurse

A Scottish nurse battling cancer for the fifth time finds that permanent makeup has helped to restore her strength and confidence. Susanne McCafferty, who is blind in both eyes, and fighting a rare form of spinal cancer, was left unable to apply her own makeup as she had done routinely throughout her adult life. Her husband even tried to assist her with her makeup application, but McCafferty was dissatisfied with the result. Susanne’s life changed one day when she heard about a local makeup artist who was offering people suffering from illness the opportunity to have makeup permanently tattooed. 

The Glasgow, Scotland based makeup artist happily assisted Susanne with the cosmetic procedure of permanently applying lip-liner, eyeliner and eyebrows on her. The work was done with a micro-pigmentation technique, a gentle form of tattooing. After the cosmetic procedure, Susanne is delighted with the outcome. She feels that she can face the world confidently and continue to battle her disease with renewed strength.

Cosmetic Tattoos

Permanent make-up can either be one of the best treats you give to yourself, or an experience that leaves you wishing you never did it. 

There are several important conditions and criteria to consider when making the decision to have cosmetic tattooing done anywhere on your body.

Cosmetic tattoos differ from artistic tattoos in that they are predominantly used by women for the purpose of simplifying their beauty routine, or in the case of accident victims, attempting to redefine their lips and brows or cover and blend scarring.

Some of the most important questions you need to ask before you decide where to get your tattoo work done concern the studio's reputation and sterile practices. This one question alone will give you enough information to decide if the shop is right for you. Basically, you want to make sure that the tattoo shop is licensed, that all the artists are licensed, and that they use sterile practices to prevent cross-contamination from blood-born pathogens and other related germs.

Because many viruses can live on unsterilized surfaces for time periods ranging from hours to days, it is extremely important that not only the equipment is sterilized using an autoclave, but the surfaces, chairs, and surrounding areas are cleaned before and after each client with sterilizing cleaners.

The second criteria to consider, is the skill of the artist who will do your tattoo work. Unlike artistic tattoos, where there is even small room for minor mistakes to be integrated into the artwork as though they don't exist, having cosmetic tattooing done offers no such protections. If the artist makes a mistake, it will be something you will have to live with, and that you will very likely not be able to cover-up or eliminate them unless you then have tattoo removal performed on the affected area.

Cosmetic Tattoos and Tattoo Removal

Cosmetic tattooing can either be a wonderful experience, with great, long-lasting results, or a nightmare. If you have your permanent make-up applied by someone who is not skilled in cosmetic artistry, you will end up with something that actually looks like a tattoo, rather than the visual of delicately arched eyebrows, or soft nuance of eyeliner.

The mistakes often made in cosmetic tattooing include make-up that is too dark, misaligned, or the wrong color entirely for the client's coloring. While these mistakes can be corrected with laser tattoo removal, or natural fading and a redoing of the tattoo, it is definitely best to avoid them and seek out a professional cosmetic tattoo artist who can achieve the results you desire from the start.

The safety of cosmetic tattooing has always been discussed as a major concern. As with any tattoo, body art, or modification, the cleanliness of the tools and the studio should be your first concern. Always, without fail, visit only those studios who are licensed, sterile facilities and employ only licensed artists on their staff.

And if you are really unhappy with the results of your current permanent make-up, or it is fading in some way, you can always have laser tattoo removal done before having the tattoos done over.

Inflicting Ink's Rhode Island Tattoo Studio Shop Services

Inflicting Ink offers a variety of services from different styles of tattooing to body piercing and cosmetic tattoos.

Inflicting Ink currently employs seven artists who are uniquely dedicated to tattooing as an art form that has its roots in history and early culture. They all come from diverse backgrounds and each specializes in different tattoo styles.

Styles of Tattooing

▪ Traditional or “Old School” – This style is bold, blue-black outlines, usually filled with solid red and green with rare additions of blue, yellow, brown and purple; and embellished with little or no shading (examples: Cherries, pin ups, roses, nautical stars, etc.).

▪ Contemporary or “New School” – Bold, bright and in your face style. It includes contemporary and fantastical designs. This style contains more elaborate blending and shading with extensive coloring and heavy outlines.

▪ Black and Gray – This style uses only black ink in a variety of shades. By mixing black ink with distilled water it creates a “wash” where lighter shades can be produced. This is the most popular method or tattooing.

▪ Tribal – This style is most recognizable with its dramatic use of aggressive dark lines in jagged symmetrical shapes and spread throughout the skin. These tattoos are more often done in simple black and skin tones

▪ Portraits – This style is simply the replication of a person, animal or any human realism. Most clients will bring in an actual picture so the artist can better capture the details. Portraits can be done in both color and black ink; however, many people find that black and gray is more realistic.

Inflicting Ink also provides body piercing

What is a Cosmetic Tattoo?

Cosmetic - Permanent Eyeliner, Lip liner, Lipstick, and Eyebrows

Permanent make-up is possible through a procedure called micro pigmentation, which is similar to tattooing. It can mimic eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, lip liner, and lipstick. When Inflicting Ink performs this medical procedure, permanent make-up can appear natural and attractive.

Advantages of Permanent Make-up

Permanent make-up is ideal for on-the-go women who always need to look their best but cannot afford the time to apply make-up throughout the day. At the end of the day, your make-up looks as though it was just freshened. You can select your color of make-up from a wide variety of shades, or a new shade can be created for you.
