Permanently Beautiful

Permanent makeup isn’t just about personal beauty and convenience. The same procedures that make you look beautiful without a stitch of makeup, prove a godsend to accident victims, physically and emotionally scarred by their injuries. Referred to as cosmetic and medical tattooing or paramedical tattooing, permanent makeup can be used to camouflage scars and artistically redraw features that have been damaged by an accident or ensuing surgeries.

Nationally renowned permanent makeup artist Melany Whitney is frequently sought out by cosmetic reconstruction surgeons to assist their patients. Reconstructive surgery can repair the broad damage to the human body from serious accidents or burns, but it cannot restore the fine personal beauty lost in the aftermath of such accidents. It takes the considerable technical skills and remarkable personal artistry of a national expert in paramedical tattooing and permanent makeup to restore beauty to damaged features. Melany has derived great personal satisfaction from being able to help accident victims and surgical patients regain their sense of personal beauty and self-confidence.

Earlier this year, Melany was asked by Dr. Mehmet Oz to help restore an accident victim’s tragically scarred face. Disfigured by an accident in her teens, the now middle-aged woman had given up hope of ever looking attractive. Melany was able to use paramedical tattooing to camouflage the woman’s facial scars and redefine damaged features. To see Melany’s miraculous results, click here to watch Melany on the Dr. Oz show.

Grammy winner Rihanna has one. So does sexy Victoria Secrets super model Gisele Bundchen. You’d expect wild women Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan to sport tattoos; but so do Posh Spice fashionista Victoria Beckham, husky-voiced headliner Norah Jones and perky Hollywood A-lister Drew Barrymore. All have been inked and wear their tats proudly. Tattooing has become a popular expression of individuality; its popularity crossing class and socio-economic boundaries; its craftsmen recognized as serious artists. 

Since before the time of Ancient Egypt’s pharaohs, tattoos have been part of the human experience, periodically waxing and waning in popularity. Tattoos sported by South Seas sailors so intrigued Europe’s upper class that nearly one in five members of the gentry showed off tattoos in the 1890s. Just before WWI, tattooed cheeks, colored lips and eyeliner were all the rage in trendy NYC social circles. The popularity of body art enjoyed another resurgence during the free-spirited ’60s. Today, tattooing has gone mainstream and is considered an exhilarating form of personal expression.

Many women are again discovering the no-care convenience and beauty-enhancing qualities of cosmetic tattooing, also called permanent makeup. Permanent eyeliner is the most sought enhancement, followed closely by lip liner and coloring. Permanent makeup can enhance your natural features, correct problem areas and give your self-esteem a boost that comes from knowing you look your best every hour of the day or night.
