Tattooing dates back to 12,000 years B.C. Cosmetic tattoos decorated Egyptian royalty at the time of the great pyramids. Becoming affordable with the invention of the electric tattooing machine in 1891, cosmetic tattoos - eyeliner, blush, colored lips - were the rage just before World War I. Out of favor for a time, the free-spirited 1960s renewed their popularity. Now tattoos are mainstream, attracting movie stars, and grandmothers alike.

Why Permanent Makeup Now?
The History of Tattooing
 Decorating the mummies of Egyptian royalty and Neolithic cavemen, tattoos were a universal human practice.
Dating back to 12,000 years B.C., tattooing is documented in ancient Chinese literature and the writings of Julius Caesar. Historically, tattoos have played an important role in ritual and tradition, identifying clans in northern Europe, indicating social status in Polynesia, advertising skills such as weaving in Borneo, and warding off illness in China.
The English word "tattoo" comes from the Tahitian "tatau" meaning "to mark or strike twice," a reference to the traditional method of application with sharpened sticks.
The popularity of tattoos in western culture has waxed and waned. Widely popular in pre-Christian European cultures, the Pope banned tattoos in 787 A.D. for their association with pagan rites. Disappearing in the west between the 12th and 16th centuries, the art form was revived in the late 1690s by sailors returning from voyages in the South Seas. It fascinated the European upper class and by 1898 nearly 1 in 5 members of the gentry wore tattoos! The invention of the first electric tattooing machine in 1891 brought tattoos within the financial means of the masses.
In America, Chatham Square in New York City was the mecca of tattoo art. In the years just before World War I, cosmetic tattooing became widely popular. Tattooed blush on cheeks, colored lips and eyeliner were all the rage. Health regulations led to the demise of NYC's tattoo parlors and changing mores caused tattoos to lose their social status. By the end of World War II tattoos were largely associated with juvenile delinquents, criminals and seamen. The free spirited 1960s brought resurgence in tattoo art. A serious outbreak of hepatitis in 1961 nearly resulted in the demise of the art form in America, but by the late 1960s tattoos were again gaining public favor.
Today, tattooing has gone mainstream with everyone from movie stars to grandmothers dressing up with body art. Its appeal crosses class and socioeconomic boundaries with tattooists being recognized as fine artists. Cosmetic tattoos are hugely popular with permanent eyeliner the most sought enhancement, followed closely by eyebrows, lip liner and lip coloring.
The medical community has embraced cosmetic tattooing, recognizing its benefits in camouflaging scars, burns, and in breast reconstruction. Tattoos can be an exhilarating form of personal expression, but cosmetic tattoos can also enhance your natural features, correct problem features, and give your self esteem a boost that comes from knowing you look your best every hour of the day.
