What to Do About Tattoo Scabbing?
Tattoo scabbing is a common concern in the semi permanent makeup industry. Understanding how to manage scabbing properly ensures beautiful results and minimizes potential complications.
Is Scabbing After a Tattoo Normal?
Yes, mild scabbing is typical after a semi permanent makeup procedure. It is part of the body’s natural healing process as new skin cells form over the tattooed area. Excessive or thick scabbing may, however, indicate issues such as overworking the skin or improper aftercare.
Should I Pick or Remove Tattoo Scabs?
No, never pick at or forcefully remove scabs on your tattoo. Doing so can cause uneven color retention, scarring, or even infection. Allow the scabs to fall off naturally for optimal healing and pigment retention.
How Can I Minimize Scabbing?
Minimizing scabbing starts with proper aftercare. Gently cleanse the area with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser, pat dry, and apply a very thin layer of recommended ointment. Avoid excessive moisture, sun exposure, and strenuous activities that lead to sweating during the initial healing phase.
When Should I Be Concerned About Scabbing?
If you notice thick, yellow, green, or foul-smelling scabs, or experience swelling, intense redness, or pain, consult your technician or a medical professional. These may be signs of infection or allergic reaction and require prompt attention.
What Are the Best Aftercare Tips for Semi Permanent Makeup?
Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your artist. Typical recommendations include avoiding makeup, swimming, saunas, and direct sun for at least one week. Do not scratch or rub the tattooed area. Moisturize sparingly, and avoid heavy creams or oils. Adhering to aftercare ensures the best, long-lasting results.

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.

Lash lift kit
Does the neutralizer contain the ingredient “Sodium Bromate” ?
Yes. The active ingredient of the neutralizer is an oxidant agent, which reconnects the disulfide bonds in the eyelashes that were broken by the perming lotion. Commonly used oxidants are sodium bromate and hydrogen peroxide. Sodium bromate works best at a neutral pH value, and can achieve a firm, elastic styling effect.
Eyelash curling
If a customer is not satisfied with the results of lash lamination, can it be reversed?
Yes. If you are not satisfied with the curling effect of lash lift, you can use perm agent to soften the eyelashes again, and then use neutralizer to set them again. However, it is recommended to wait at least 2 weeks between two treatment.
