Permanent Makeup is most commonly called as Permanent cosmetics. Other names for permanent makeup are dermapigmentation, micro pigmentation, and cosmetic tattooing. In the United States and other countries, the inks used in permanent makeup and the pigments in these inks are subject to FDA or similar agency regulation as cosmetics and color additives. Permanent makeup regulations vary from one country to another country, some times regulations also change by Country , state , province or even city to city. In most areas of US, Permanent Makeup falls under the cognizance of the Department of Health, State Boards of Cosmetology are often the oversight agency. In some areas a cosmetology or aesthetics license is required,
But in some areas cosmetologists are prohibited from conducting permanent makeup procedures. Exclusive to Australia, practitioners are prohibited from advertising the procedures as "permanent" since it is commonly known that tattoos will fade over time and it is their opinion that the benefits of cosmetic tattooing are not permanent and will generally only last three to five years. Some believe this position is not consistent with the fact that permanent makeup is tattooing and tattooing is a permanent process. Before you undergoing any form of cosmetic tattooing it is essential to ensure that a salon has appropriate approvals from their local health authorities for skin penetration procedures. It is important to note that just because a salon has local health approvals for general beauty therapy services does not necessarily mean that they have approval for cosmetic tattooing procedures, it is prudent to insist on seeing the certificate of registration. In Melbourne Australia in house or mobile Tattooing services are prohibited.

Some spas use Unsterilized Tattooing Instruments , and these instruments may infect the patient with serious diseases such as Hepatitis and HIV. As with tattoos, permanent makeup can be difficult to remove. Common techniques used for this are laser resurfacing, dermabrasion (physical or chemical ex foliation), and surgical removal. Camouflaging-- adding a new pigment which counteracts the tattoo color and attempts to emulate normal skin color is considered a poor choice by professionals.
