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.
