PERMANENT COSMETICS
Dermal pigmentation, commonly known as tattooing,
has been present for centuries in our cultures
for the purpose of body adornment. The implanting
of pigment, color, and/or dyes intra-dermal
results in permanent alteration of tissue
to gain a cosmetic effect. The pigmentation
effect is obtained by a procedure in which,
in a minute, metabolically inert pigment
granules are mechanically placed beneath
the epidermis. When the procedure utilizes
microscopes or magnifying loupes, the appropriate
term is micro pigmentation.
