Pigments

Pigment is a durable substance, colored or black and white. It has stable physical characteristics and does not dissolve in the environments that surround it. The size of pigment particles (molecules) is within 4–6 microns, which ensures the most even color of permanent makeup, stable fixation of the pigment in the skin and does not allow the pigment to migrate to nearby tissues. The quality and intensity of the coating that the pigment provides are directly dependent on the quality of the original, base material. That is, the cleaner and better the dry pigment, the better the finished paint. The structure of the dry part should be homogeneous, without lumps when dried. The heterogeneity of the powder can cause difficulties in the work of a specialist. All pigments (dry matter) are divided into organic and inorganic. Depending on the solvent and binder used, all paints can be divided into water-alcohol, alcohol and glycerin. Another separation principle is into cream and liquid dyes. <img alt="" src="https://pro.bhub.com.ua/permanent/upload/files/%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D1%8B%20%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%B5.jpg" style="width: 1200px; height: 1200px;" /> Water-alcohol-based sorbitol dyes are relatively liquid and are not suitable for all types of tattoo machines. They can be easily and evenly applied to the skin, they are quite uniformly distributed in the micropigmentation zone. When working with eyebrows, in some cases, depending on the type of skin, they can give a slightly blurry line. Water-alcohol-based glycerin tattoo pigments are often referred to as cream pigments because they have a thicker consistency. They have a higher pigment concentration and density, which makes it possible to apply the dye faster. Professionals do not recommend mixing dyes from different manufacturers, since in this case it is impossible to predict the final chemical reaction. And as a result, the final color of the tattoo is practically impossible to predict. There is always the possibility that it can either migrate into incomprehensible shades that you do not expect, or simply disappear from the client&#39;s face a week after the procedure. What dyes are best used for the tattoo procedure? There is no single answer to this question. More liquid dyes require a certain technique of work, they are cheaper, their choice is greater, but they are not suitable for all types of apparatus. Cream dyes can be used without problems with any machine, they mix very well and thus allow many color variations to be obtained. Such pigments can always be diluted with a suitable type of solvent, they have a higher color concentration. Try different dye systems and decide for yourself which one you like best and which one you would like to work with. Not the last role here is played by the price. The cost of a good dye with a highly concentrated tattoo pigment, good hiding power, dermatologically tested and certified, will always correspond to its quality.
