# 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.

Super Essence
Which is better, numbing cream or numbing essence?
In terms of penetration speed, numbing essence penetrates the skin faster than numbing cream and takes effect faster, but it has higher requirements for the operator and needs to avoid the numbing liquid from flowing into the eyes. For new beginners and eyeliner tattoo treatment, we recommend using numbing cream.
Super numb
What is the difference between Super Numb Tattoo Cream and Nano Numb Cream For Tattoo?
Both super numb cream and nano numb cream can be used for tattoos, piercings or other beauty treatments. But they are suitable for different people. Super numb cream has a stronger effect. If you need a very strong super numb tattoo cream, we recommend you to use Super Numb Tattoo Cream. Nano Numb Cream is developed for people with sensitive skin. The formula is more gentle, anti-sensitive and anti-redness. If you need a comfortably numb tattoo cream specifically for sensitive skin, we recommend you to use nano numb cream.

How do I make brow lamination tint?
1. Clean eyebrows: Use warm water and facial cleansing products to clean eyebrows and surrounding skin, making sure there are no impurities and oils.
2. Shape eyebrows: Use eyebrow scissors to trim the length and shape of eyebrows as needed
3. Apply skin care oil: Apply skin care oil to the skin around eyebrows to prevent dye from getting on the skin and facilitate cleaning.
4. Mix dye: Mix dye and developer in a 1:1 ratio.
5. Apply dye: Use a small brush to apply eye brow dye evenly on eyebrows, from the beginning to the end of eyebrows, and pay attention to control the amount to avoid applying it on the skin. Wait for the appropriate time (usually 5-10 minutes) to allow the eyebrow dye to fully color.
6. Wash: Use warm water and paper towels to gently wash the dye off, and be careful not to rub the eyebrows hard.
Follow-up care
1. Avoid water washing: Avoid contact with water within 24 hours after dyeing to ensure that the color lasts.
2. Regularly touch up the color: Depending on the growth rate of the eyebrows and the fading of the color, you can touch up the color every 4-6 weeks.
