Medical Reasons:

Apart from vanity, most patients opt for permanent/semi-permanent makeup (aka cosmetic tattoos) because of medical reasons. That being said, these patients are eagerly seeking corrections for their facial skin or hair follicles.

Despite the possibility of additional scarring, these patients still opt for cosmetic tattoos despite having already experienced the lasting effects of permanent cell damage because of diseases or unfortunate accidents.

Among the most common permanent/semi-permanent makeup procedures for medical reasons, micro-blading eyebrows stands out.

During this micro-blading procedure, the delicate strokes of the artist’s hand gracefully imitate the visual texture of natural hair, seamlessly blending in with areas affected by hair loss. These tattoos require the artist to delicately place pigment into the skin using a buzzing tattoo pen with a skilled hand. (You read that correctly, pigment going into skin to look like eyebrows. Yep.)

That being said, 3 additional medical reasons for permanent/semi-permanent makeup include camouflaging Virgilio, restoring hairline or eyebrow hair-loss because of diseases, and masking burn scars as an alternative to medical reconstructive surgery.

Top 3 additional medical reasons recap:

1. Mask burn scars

2. Restore hairline or eyebrow hair-loss due to diseases

3. Camouflage Virgilio

Major health risks

Permanent and semi-permanent makeup can pose significant health risks that may make you think twice about getting cosmetic tattoos for either medical or purely vanity purposes.

In a distressing incident reported by the Infectious Diseases Society of America in 2011, an outbreak of Mycobacterium haemophilum occurred among twelve patients who had received permanent eyebrow makeup from the same freelance artist. The consequences were dire. These patients not only developed eyebrow lesions and cervical lymphadenitis, but they also had to undergo treatment with antibiotics.

In ten cases, surgery was necessary to address the complications caused by the infection. To make matters worse, doctors discovered traces of M. haemophilum DNA in the makeup ink itself. The physical and financial toll on these individuals was immense, leaving them to suffer both physically and financially.
