Powder Pigment
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.

Can I get samples first for customization?
Yes, we support sample orders. Since your customization is different from regular goods, we may need to produce or process it separately, so we need to charge a corresponding sample fee, which can be refunded when you place a formal order.
Micro Blade
What size needle for microblading eyebrows? U-curved needle or a slope needle?
Slope Needle: The tip of a tilting needle usually presents a beveled angle. This shape is suitable for detailed line and contour work and is commonly used for contour and fine areas of tattoos, but may require some skill to ensure smoothness and consistency of the line.
U-curved Needle: U-curved needles have a U-curved tip and usually consist of multiple needles. The U-curved needle design distributes ink more evenly across the skin. It is more suitable for color filling and shading effects and gradient effects on large areas, and can cover a larger area in a short period of time. However, you need to control the pressure and speed to avoid uneven color.
To summarize, the choice of needle depends mainly on the design of the eyebrows semi permanent makeup and the desired effect.
