# What Is in Tattoo Pigment?
Understanding the composition of tattoo pigments is crucial for semi-permanent makeup professionals. High-quality pigments ensure safety, longevity, and optimal results. Below, we explore key components, regulations, and best practices.
Core Ingredients in Tattoo Pigments
Tattoo pigments consist of:
- Colorants: Organic or inorganic compounds that provide hue (e.g., iron oxides, carbon black, titanium dioxide).
- Carriers: Liquids (like glycerin or water) that suspend pigments for smooth application.
- Additives: Preservatives or stabilizers to extend shelf life and prevent contamination.
Organic vs. Inorganic Pigments
- Organic Pigments:
- Derived from carbon-based compounds.
- Vibrant but may fade faster (e.g., azo dyes).
- Some carry higher allergy risks.
- Inorganic Pigments:
- Mineral-based (e.g., iron oxide, titanium dioxide).
- More stable and longer-lasting.
- Generally safer for sensitive skin.
Safety and Regulatory Standards
- FDA & EU Compliance:
- The FDA does not approve pigments but regulates color additives.
- EU standards (REACH) ban harmful substances like heavy metals (lead, mercury).
- Patch Testing: Always test pigments for allergic reactions before full application.
Industry Best Practices
- Choose Reputable Brands: Opt for suppliers with third-party testing and safety certifications.
- Avoid Banned Substances: Steer clear of pigments containing carcinogens or irritants.
- Client Consultation: Disclose ingredients and potential risks to ensure informed consent.
By prioritizing safe, high-quality pigments, professionals can enhance client trust and results. For High Quality, compliant pigments, explore QM Makeup’s curated selection.

Perm and dyeing kit
How do I make eyelash lift and tint at the same time?
1. Clean the eyelashes and skin around the eyes with clean water and cotton pads.
2. Apply glue to the back of the silicone perm rod and stick it on the upper eyelid. After the silicone perm rod is fixed on the eyelid, cover the lower eyelashes with the eye patch.
3. Apply glue to the surface of the silicone perm rod, use a Y-shaped brush or a separate tool to stick the eyelashes on the silicone perm rod, and comb the eyelashes straight to ensure that the eyelashes do not overlap. After the glue dries and fixes the position of the eyelashes, proceed to the next step.
4. Apply the perm agent to the eyelashes to soften the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Remove the perm agent, apply the neutralizer to shape the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes
6. Mix dye and developer in a 1:1 ratio.
7. Remove the neutralizer, use a small brush to apply dye evenly on eyelashes, wait for the appropriate time (usually 10-15 minutes) to allow the dye to fully color.
8. Clean the eyelashes and residual glue with a detergent, and remove the silicone perm rod and eye patch.
9. Apply Collagen conditioner to nourish the eyelashes, and you're done!

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.
