Changes of pigments on the skin

Choosing the right pigment color is very important. However, to do so, it is not enough to choose it by relying on the color of the eyebrows that we will tattoo but we will have to make a series of evaluations depending on the subject to be tattooed. Some of these important evaluations are about the thickness of the skin and its shade. Here are some examples:

The thickness of the skin

The intensity and color of the tattoos (tattoos of the eyebrows) depend on the thickness of the skin.

On thick skin, blacks turn into graphite and graphite in gray, the color may be blurred.

On thin skin, the color will be fuller (intense).

The depth of the tattoo

The color effect also depends on the depth in which we inject pigment into the skin.

The deeper pigmentation will be more tense to gray, even if we use a warm color.

The shade of the skin

Even the skin underarm affects the final result.

On a cold-colored skin (the one without the yellow color), the color will show a slight shade of blue color.


On warm-tinted skin (yellow pigment), the color will show a slight shade of hot, brown or chocolate color.

The experience

In conclusion, only with the experience you can best evaluate the right pigment tone for a given skin type by evaluating not only the result of the trick you just made, but also the possible variations after a certain period of time.
