- Type instruments for the input of pigment;
- Depth of pigment input into the skin layers;
- Duration of socks make-up;

Depth of pigment application
The depth of the permanent input is one of the main differences between permanent makeup and eyebrow tattooing.
In tattooing, the depth of dye is much deeper than in any other procedure. On this basis, the duration of the pigment in the layers of the skin differs.
In the second method, the permanent substance is injected into the skin layers to a depth of about 5 millimeters, which makes the skin less traumatized and the procedure less painful. Because of this depth of penetration, the pigment can be easily removed with a laser device.
Types of pigments
Different pigments are used in tattoos and permanent makeup.
The first service uses alcohol-based dyes, while the second uses dyes with glycerin as the main ingredient.
