Why Do Some Eyebrow Tattoos Turn Bluish, Greyish, or Reddish?
Eyebrow cosmetic tattooing, also semi-permanent makeup, has become a popular trend in recent years. It provides a convenient and long-lasting way to enhance the appearance of eyebrows. However, some people may notice that their eyebrow tattoos turn bluish, greyish, or reddish over time. This can be concerning and may lead to a desire to remove the tattoo. In this article, we will explore why some eyebrow tattoos change color and what can be done to prevent or correct it.
Understanding the Causes of Discoloration
Sun exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause the tattoo pigments to break down more rapidly, resulting in fading or color changes. It is important to protect your tattooed skin from excessive sun exposure by using sunscreen.
Skin conditions and medications: Certain skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, and certain medications can affect the appearance of a tattoo over time. These factors may alter the skin's texture or pigmentation, which can in turn impact the appearance of the tattoo.
Quality of pigments and technique: The quality of the tattoo pigments used and the skill of the tattoo artist can also influence the longevity and color stability of a cosmetic tattoo. Low-quality pigments or improper application techniques may result in quicker fading or changes in color.
Preventing Discoloration
To prevent eyebrow tattoos from changing color, it is important to choose a reputable and experienced tattoo artist who uses high-quality pigments. They should also be skilled at implanting the pigment at the appropriate depth to avoid migration or spreading. It is also recommended to avoid exposure to sunlight or UV rays as much as possible. Applying sunscreen to the area regularly can also help to protect the tattoo from discoloration.
Correcting Discoloration
If your eyebrow tattoo has already turned bluish, greyish, or reddish, there are a few options available to correct it. One of the most common solutions is to have the tattoo removed or lightened using laser or Saline technology. This can be a costly and time-consuming process, but it can effectively remove the unwanted pigment. Another option is to have the tattoo artist perform a color correction procedure. This involves implanting new pigment over the existing tattoo to neutralize the unwanted color.
It is important to note that correcting a discolored eyebrow tattoo can be challenging and may require multiple treatments. It is also important to choose a reputable and experienced tattoo artist who is skilled in color correction procedures to avoid further complications.
