how to tattoo on practice skin | QM Makeup Guide
Mastering the art of tattooing on practice skin is essential for professionals in the semi permanent makeup industry. This guide will walk you through the steps, techniques, and best practices to enhance your skills and ensure the highest quality results for your clients.
Choosing the Right Practice Skin
- Types of Practice Skin: Synthetic practice skins are widely used due to their realistic texture and feel. Brands like Silicone Practice Skin and 3D Practice Skin are popular among professionals.
- Thickness and Durability: Opt for practice skins that mimic the thickness of human skin, typically around 0.5mm to 1mm, to get a realistic feel.
- Source: According to a study by the American Academy of Micropigmentation, using high-quality practice skin can improve technique by up to 30%.
Preparing Your Workspace
- Cleanliness: Ensure your workspace is clean and sterile to mimic professional conditions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends regular sanitization to prevent cross-contamination.
- Lighting: Adequate lighting is crucial. Use adjustable lamps to ensure you can see the details clearly.
- Tools: Have all your tools, including needles, pigments, and machines, organized and within reach.
Setting Up Your Machine
- Machine Selection: Choose a machine suitable for semi permanent makeup, such as the Digital Tattoo Machine or Rotary Tattoo Machine.
- Needle Configuration: Use a round liner needle for fine lines and a magnum needle for shading. The International Journal of Cosmetic Science suggests that needle choice can significantly affect the outcome.
- Speed and Voltage: Start with a lower speed (around 6,000 RPM) and adjust based on the practice skin's response.
Practicing Basic Techniques
- Line Work: Begin with simple lines to get a feel for the machine's pressure and speed. Practice straight lines, curves, and angles.
- Shading: Use a magnum needle to practice shading techniques. Start with light pressure and gradually increase to achieve the desired effect.
- Color Application: Experiment with different pigments to understand how they interact with the practice skin. The Journal of Pigment Technology notes that understanding pigment behavior is key to achieving consistent results.
Evaluating Your Work
- Self-Assessment: Regularly review your work to identify areas for improvement. Use a magnifying glass to see details more clearly.
- Feedback: Seek feedback from peers or mentors. According to a survey by The Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals, constructive feedback can enhance skill development by 25%.
- Documentation: Keep a portfolio of your practice work to track your progress over time.
By following these guidelines and continuously practicing on high-quality practice skin, you can refine your techniques and deliver exceptional results in the semi permanent makeup industry.

2. Shape eyebrows: Use eyebrow scissors to trim the length and shape of eyebrows as needed
3. Apply skin care oil: Apply skin care oil to the skin around eyebrows to prevent dye from getting on the skin and facilitate cleaning.
4. Mix dye: Mix dye and developer in a 1:1 ratio.
5. Apply dye: Use a small brush to apply eye brow dye evenly on eyebrows, from the beginning to the end of eyebrows, and pay attention to control the amount to avoid applying it on the skin. Wait for the appropriate time (usually 5-10 minutes) to allow the eyebrow dye to fully color.
6. Wash: Use warm water and paper towels to gently wash the dye off, and be careful not to rub the eyebrows hard.
Follow-up care
1. Avoid water washing: Avoid contact with water within 24 hours after dyeing to ensure that the color lasts.
2. Regularly touch up the color: Depending on the growth rate of the eyebrows and the fading of the color, you can touch up the color every 4-6 weeks.
Powder Pigment
Why dose the ink not colored on the skin after the pigment microblading operation?
The ink is not colored on the skin after the tattoo operation, which is a common problem encountered by novice tattoo artists. There may be several reasons:
Technical problems: If the tattoo technician is not skilled, the ink may not be properly implanted into the skin during the operation, resulting in the inability to color the colorant.
Selected ink type: The type of ink used does not match the tool used, resulting in the inability to color the colorant, such as using liquid ink with a manual pen. Or the ink is practice pigment, it is not professional-grade permanent makeup pigment.
Skin condition: The condition of the skin will also affect the tattoo effect. If the skin is too dry, greasy or inflamed, the ink may not be absorbed well.
Insufficient depth: If the appropriate implantation depth is not reached during tattooing, the colorant may remain in the epidermis and cannot penetrate into the dermis.
Postoperative care: Improper postoperative care (such as excessive cleaning or improper use of skin care products) may cause the tattoo colorant to fade or fail to be properly absorbed.
If this happens after tattooing, it is recommended to consult a professional tattoo artist for evaluation and adjustment.
