What is the difference between inorganic and organic permanent makeup ink?
The main difference between organic and inorganic pigments lies in their chemical composition, properties and performance. Here are some key points to distinguish them:
Chemical composition:
Organic tattoo pigment are composed of carbon-based compounds, usually containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other elements (such as nitrogen, sulfur, etc.). Their molecular structure is complex and usually has organic chemical characteristics.
Inorganic tattoo pigments are mainly composed of inorganic compounds and usually do not contain carbon. Such pigments may contain metal oxides, salts, minerals, etc.
Color saturation:
Organic permanent makeup pigment usually have higher color saturation and brighter colors. Inorganic permanent makeup pigment are generally more stable in color, have strong hiding power, and have low color saturation.
Stability:
Organic cosmetic tattoo pigment have poor stability in light, heat and chemical environments and may fade. Inorganic pigments are generally more stable and resistant to high temperatures and chemical erosion.
Permeability:
Organic pigments are usually composed of organic compounds, which often have good water solubility and can dissolve in water faster. Therefore, organic pigments have stronger permeability than inorganic pigments.
In general, organic and inorganic pigments have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different application scenarios and needs. In order to take into account the brightness, saturation and stability of the ink, most tattoo supplies ink currently use a mixed formula of organic and inorganic.

Secondary Numbing essence
Can super numb tattoo cream be used for secondary numbness during treatment?
For secondary numbness after skin breakage, we recommend using secondary numbing essence. This is because pre numb tattoo cream takes at least 25 minutes to take effect, and the waiting time will be longer, while the secondary numbing essence only takes 3-5 minutes to take effect, which will not delay the treatment time. At the same time, since the patient's tattoo is in a state of broken skin, too long waiting time will increase the risk of infection.
Lash Glue
What is the difference between strong sticky glue and super sticky glue?
Both strong sticky glue and super sticky glue can be used in eyelash perming programs and are highly adhesive and easy to wash and clean with water. The strong sticky glue is made with a pharmaceutical formula that is gentle, non-irritating, and anti-allergenic, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin or eyes, and is lightweight, leaving no waxy residue when applied. The super sticky glue is more suitable for professional lash artists, the glue is very strong sticky, the texture is thicker (there will be a slight elastic phenomenon), the operator can more easily fix the lashes in the silicone perm rod, reduce the operation time, work more efficiently.
