# 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.

FAQ
Lash lift kit
What is the MOQ for customization?

For logo customization, the MOQ is 2000 kits; for other in-depth customization, the MOQ will be based on your specific requirements.

Powder Pigment
What is the color retention rate and color retention time of the pigment?

QM pigments have a higher retention rate than most other tattoo ink brands on the market. With nearly 20 years of microblading pigment permanent makeup formulation experience, the color retention rate of the pigment can be as high as 99%, and the color retention time is generally 3-5 years.

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.

Handmade pen
What are the advantages of microblading disposable pen over ordinary microblading disposable pen?

1. More hygienic: disposable use only, reducing the risk of cross-infection among customers.

2. More precise: the angled pen tip allows the operator to perform very precise micro-carving.

3. More convenient: the pen is discarded after opening and use, and no cleaning and disinfection are required.

4. More efficient: it reduces the time to prepare and clean the tools, shortening the operation time.

Products
Compare to liquid glue, what is the advantage of glue balm?

Compared with liquid glue, solid glue belongs to non liquid formula glue, with lower fluidity and better control of usage, effectively avoiding the use of too much glue during the operation. At the same time, the solid glue will not leave a thick sticky layer, which is more convenient for you to adjust the position of eyelashes and eyebrows.
