Permanently Beautiful

When people hear the words “facial tattoos” they probably get an image in their head of tribal markings, like those of the Maori people of New Zealand.  For them, facial tattoos were a way of identifying between families, classes and other tribes. Known as “moko” tattoos, they were such a symbol of a person’s identity that they were used as their signatures on documents in the 1800’s when European settlers arrived.  Their technique involved a small chisel and hammer to tap the design onto the face, and caterpillar-ink poured into the fresh wounds. The skin would heal with the tattoos raised, which is thought to have been because of some chemical or bacteria from the caterpillar. 

For us, our faces identify us. We use photo identification to verify that we are who we say we are, and celebrities build their reputations upon their faces. We can use cosmetic facial tattooing to enhance our appearance too. Our reasons may be to bring out our characteristic features or to make sure we always look our best, whether just out of the swimming pool or just out of bed. But lucky for us, the process involved with permanent makeup is much more gentle and hygienic than it was so many years ago.  With an entire spectrum of colors to choose from, your expert Board Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional, Melany Whitney will make sure that your permanent makeup will be permanently beautiful, natural-looking, and beauty enhancing.
