Choosing an artist for your permanent cosmetics procedure may feel overwhelming as you try to decide between many artists. These procedures are permanent and therefore can have a cost upwards of $400 or more. As newer artists start to build their portfolios they will likely charge less for these services, however permanent cosmetics is not the best time to try to save money. Here are a few reasons why you want to be careful about choosing the ‘cheaper’ artist.

1. Lack of experience: Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattoo that involves injecting pigment into the skin. Choosing a cheap artist who may not have as much experience or training can result in uneven or poor-quality work that maynneed to be corrected or removed at additional cost.

2. Unsterile equipment: Using unsterile equipment or failing to follow proper sterilization protocols can lead to serious infections or diseases. Cheap artists may not prioritize proper sterilization techniques, putting your health at risk.

3. Poor aftercare: Proper aftercare is crucial to the healing and maintenance of permanent makeup. A cheap artist may not provide thorough aftercare instructions or follow-up appointments, which can result in poor healing and fading of the pigment.

4. Lack of insurance: Accidents can happen, even in the hands of experienced artists. A cheap artist may not carry insurance, leaving you liable for any injuries or damages that may occur during the procedure.

5. Limited options: A cheap artist may not offer a wide range of colors, styles, or techniques, limiting your options for the final look. Investing in a more experienced and reputable artist may give you more options and a higher quality final result.

Ultimately, it’s important to prioritize quality and safety when it comes to permanent makeup. While it may be tempting to go with the cheapest option, it’s important to consider the potential risks and long-term consequences.

Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, is a popular way to enhance your natural beauty and save time on your daily beauty routine. While the appeal of saving money by choosing the cheapest permanent makeup (PMU) artist may be tempting, it’s important to consider the potential risks and long-term effects of your decision .
