Is Tattoo Repair Balm Suitable for Both Black and Colored Tattoos?
Semi permanent makeup professionals often ask whether tattoo repair balm is suitable for both black and colored tattoos. Choosing the right aftercare is crucial to ensure vibrant results, support healing, and minimize complications for every pigment type.
Key Benefits of Tattoo Repair Balm
- Hydration
- Maintains optimal moisture, preventing excessive scabbing and pigment loss.
- Suitable hydration for both black and colored pigments.
- Protection
- Creates a protective barrier against bacteria and environmental contaminants.
- Protects delicate freshly tattooed skin, regardless of pigment color.
- Enhanced Healing
- Supports cell regeneration for both monochrome and multi-colored designs.
- Reduces risk of infections and inflammation (Source: Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology).
Compatibility With Black Tattoos
- Formulated for use on carbon-based black ink.
- Helps prevent fading or blurring during the healing process.
- Encourages bold and sharp healed lines essential in semi permanent makeup work.
Compatibility With Colored Tattoos
- Safe for use with organic and inorganic colored pigments (e.g., reds, blues, browns).
- Aids pigment retention and prevents premature color fading.
- Low risk of allergic reaction when using professional-grade, fragrance-free balms (Source: American Academy of Dermatology).
- Supports even healing of multi-color blends common in advanced SMPU techniques.
Key Features to Look for in a Tattoo Repair Balm
- Fragrance-Free and Hypoallergenic
- Minimizes risk of skin irritation, especially on sensitive facial areas.
- Non-Comedogenic

Eyelash curling
How long does a lash lift last?
The curling effect of eyelash lamination can last for 8-12 weeks, during which time you can carry out water activities normally. Generally, after 12 weeks, the eyelashes will return to their original state, at which time you can arrange for a new eye lash lift treatment.
Lip stickers
Can I use numbing products on sensitive skin? Is it safe? Are there any potential side effects?
The ingredients we use are very safe, with anti-allergic effects, and under normal circumstances there are no side effects. However, based on individual differences, it cannot be ruled out that some people may experience temporary redness or irritation in some areas. We recommend patch testing before handling and following product instructions to minimize the risk of adverse reactions.
Blade
What makes your microblades different from other microblades?
Our micro blades are made of 304 stainless steel, which means that the disposable microblading needle are extremely sharp and will give you very natural looking hairline results. They are completely pre-packaged in individual packages and sterilized with ethylene oxide gas. These packages include the lot number, date of manufacture and expiration date. We focus on the highest quality and stand behind our microblading eyebrows products. These tools were designed by QM because we felt that other products on the market were not properly customized or sterilized for the artist's needs.
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.
