Permanent Makeup, tattoo and MRI

-


Tattoo and Permanent Makeup pigment contains Iron Oxide and/or Carbon Oxide.
It is not irritant to most skin.

Prior to an MRI, the technician may ask if you have any tattoos.  Permanent Makeup is a tattoo.  So
your answer would be... Yes.

In the simplest term, an MRI machine is a giant magnet that scans your body.  It will detect metals, including Iron Oxide.  

If you have a tattoo on your body, the MRI Technician may put a damp towelette to ease warm sensation.

However, the amount of pigment used on Hairstroke brows, eyeliner and lip blushing is minimal.  Therefore, the likelihood of feeling discomfort is not likely.   But, it is helpful if the MRI Tech knows what he/she is seeing on the scan.

Is Permanent Makeup a good choice for me? If so, should I start with Brows, Eyeliner or Lip Blushing?

Permanent makeup (PMU) is relatively an inexpensive, cosmetic procedure that can restore color and definition to your face. If you are unsure which procedure is best for you, here are some common thoughts to consider.  Which thoughts run through your head in the morning? Brows: I feel uncomfortable leaving the house or be seen in public without drawing in my brows. I don't know how to draw in brows, so it's very frustrating. I can draw in my Right brow, but have trouble filling in my Left brow...or vice versa. Eyes: My eyes feel small or invisible unless I have some eyeliner on. My waterproof eyeliner still smudges on a hot day or when I exercise. My hands are not steady therefore it is difficult for me to draw on liners. Lips: I used to have full lips, but now they are thin and non existant. I look sick or pale without lipstick. I apply lipstick several times a day. I can't use lipstick because I no longer have lips. I over draw my lip liner to make my lips look fuller...

Can a permanent makeup artist come to your home to provide services?   Permanent Makeup Brows Before/After  Photos I have a client who used to have a permanent makeup artist make house visits.  The procedure was completed on her reclining chair in the living room.  The set up was quick and afterwards, the Permanent Makeup Artist would pack up and leave. In the state of California this is illegal.  Permanent Makeup Artists are regulated by the County Health Services .  We are required to act in accordance within  OSHA guidelines and our office is annually inspected by the County Health Department.  They have specific requirements and guidelines for each practitioner and workspace.  The objective is to minimize cross contamination of blood borne pathogens .  It is illegal to conduct business outside our office in the state of California.
