Frequently Asked Questions

What supplies do I need for permanent makeup?

To perform PMU you will need a quality PMU machine and cartridges, professional pigments, mapping tools, disposable applicators, skin prep and aftercare, barrier film, and proper PPE.

Are permanent makeup machines different from tattoo machines?

Yes. PMU machines are typically lighter, run finer needles and lower power, and are designed for delicate facial work rather than saturated body art.

How is permanent makeup different from body tattooing?

PMU is implanted more superficially (about one‑third the depth of traditional tattoos), aims for subtle cosmetic enhancement, and is formulated to fade so results can be refreshed or adjusted.

Are permanent makeup inks different from tattoo inks?

Yes. PMU pigments use smaller molecules and cosmetic color formulations designed to fade gradually and look natural, while body tattoo inks use larger particles made to last for life.

Does permanent makeup fade over time?

Yes. PMU is semi‑permanent and typically fades over several years, often needing color boosts around every 12–18 months depending on pigment, skin, and lifestyle.
