Eyebrow, Eyeliner, Lip Embroidery Tattoo, Permanent MakeUp

What Singaporean and consumers/customers must read.
I hope Ministry of Health minister and officers read it too.
All these bloody beauticians in Singapore....


1. "Embroidery" is just a fancy term of permanent make up tattoo. Stupid beauticians will do their typical stupid rude talk to fool customers that it is 2 different things as though embroidery is more "highclass" using 手工 (handcraft). What beauticians are trying to bluff is that they are using 5needle manual pen blade and not the electric machine pen needle.  These beauticians are fucking cunts because both tools are throwing ink on the skin and both require laser to remove.


2. I have emailed some of the top american and european permanent makeup artist.  It is not true that the 绣眉刀片 manual blade tool for eyebrow embroidery is the only professional tool for creating stroke lines. Machine pen too that tattoo artist use can achieve the strokes effect as well.  However, since most of the beauticians are uneducated cheapskate aunties, they would rather go cheapskate to use the manual blade.  The machine pen tool itself is super expensive. The cost of replacing the needles of the machine pen is alot higher than those manual blades.


3. Most beauticians do not endorse single use blades for individual clients unless you are willing to pay extra or a super high price. See that they take from a brand new properly sealed packaging. NB. Even liposuction doctors would reuse their needles because of cost. They would clean it and put in the nice transparent case again for patients to imagine as though they are all brand new needles.  Remember to take and throw your own blade far far away after your own embroidery/tattoo so that the cheapskate beautician will not take it for next blur blur client to use.


4. Semi-permanent make up, aka embroidery/tattoo ink which will fade after a few years is the new BIG TIME bullshit that beauticians made up over 5 past years.  They will coin up new terms like "micro pigmentation" together with "semi permanent make up" or shit like "organic colours" or "make from plant colours" to make it seem as though their inks are safer and trendier.  Bullshit.  see #5

5. Globally, many beauticians have specified for cosmetic ink suppliers to create inks that will fade within 2 years. This is so that customers can return to them for "touch up" after 2-3 years.  Beauticians claim all inks which are long lasting will turn greenish/bluish like back in grandmother days.  The slightly cunning ones will say "oh, the long lasting inks all banned liao because they contain 铅(lead)." Can tell all these beauticians to fuck off.  These stupid beauticians dont even know what is unadulterated ink and colour additives.


6. Beauticians claim that embroidery colours which fade within a few years are safer. Fuck them all. The shit inks they use do not fade away completely and would still require laser if need to remove.   Even in USA, the FDA is unable to produce a standard permanent makeup ink guideline. Many big brand inks are found to still contain bacteria.  In Singapore, beauticians do not send their ink for test with HSA. They will just get it from suppliers who claim the inks are safe. And when you ask them to produce the safety cert, they tell you to find the supplier website online, which gives no info on the ingredient/content of their product!


7.  I have spoken to two major tattoo ink suppliers in Singapore. They supply ink for bodyart i.e tattoo ink for all parts of body except eye area and lips.  These tattoo ink suppliers told me that there are actually many beauticians who come to them for ink so that they could use it for eyebrow/liner/lips embroidery.  But the Singapore tattoo ink suppliers turn them down because the ink manufacturers have informed specifically their ink are not to be used near eyes or on lips.   These asshole beauticians would then end up ordering the same brands online, risking the health of consumers.


8. Good embroidery/permanent makeup ink stays permanent. Beauticians claim their ink are safer because they fade. Fucking rubbish. You think wrong if you reckon beauticians are concerned about complaints and the consumers health. They dont even know what anesthetic cream they are using.

9. Most beauticians would use anesthetic cream as Emla because it is quite easy to purchase. However, all doctors have specifically mentioned emla not to be used near eyes.  Some would get their anesthetic cream from unknown suppliers. These auntie beauticians, most of the time do not read english articles.  Their websites/facebook pages are put up by bloggers, paid professionals, young nephews/nieces.  I know of one beautician who claim her anesthetic cream is 25% and from germany.  I go waaaaa so power?  Then I found out she was using this brand.

This is worse than using Emla on eyes.   Many beauticians who are unable to get anesthetic cream, would end up getting super strong weird ass brand analgesic creams with strong alcoholic content. These pain reliever acts much faster than Emla. But beauticians dont give a shit about the effect they have on eyeliner or lips.  If they dont even give a shit about the numbing creams, what makes you think they would give a shit about the safety of ink? They just want it to look nice for 3 months, and fade fast enough so customers would spend on a new touchup.


10. On all those 3D Korean, 4D Korean eyebrow, eyeliner embroidery or permanent make up.  I asked the beauticians whats all these bullshit when 绣眉 topdogs are all from China.  They claim that it is a different "technology" and Korean ink.  This is a big time joke. This "embroidery" and "permanent makeup" thingy never really picked up in Korea as compared to China or Japan. The R&D of ink in Korea is not strong at all. Ask any proper tattoo artist if they have ever used "Korea Ink" as bodyart on bodies before.  They will all say no.  Only stupid beauticians in Singapore would use this trick to get consumers to buy embroidery services/ink which do not last.


11. Alot beauticians would price their eyebrow embroidery pricing differently.  Eyebrow tattoo/embroidery using machine/electric pen are always priced cheaper as the stupid beauticians say it does not create the stroke effect and does a quick job.  Halo. I have seen "teacher" grade beauticians using the electric pen to create the strokes and they charge alot for it.   The beauticians would claim the more expensive packaging would give a more 立体 3D effect because of difference in "technology. Again. This is bullshit because they all use the same tool. Those pretentious cunts are just NOT upfront enough to say "Look, if you pay more, we will give you finer and more dense stroke." Just because the auntie beautician is nice and friendly doesnt mean she isnt cunning and trying to fleece your money.


12. Beauticians always have a way to find fault with your previous eyebrow embroidery. Either exclaiming its too droopy or colours have faded or it looks very fake.   Even for returning customers, they also will claim the colour fade must be due to your own skin's fault. And then their claws will come out.  Tell you to do laser or chemical wash off at a discounted rate with a new design / fresh colour of eyebrow embroidery.  Super unethical. You will never hear one beautician praise the work of another unless they have a teacher student relationship.  At max the beauticians would say "OK lor.. but can be darker". And consumers toot toot get sold to do a new one again.


13. It is impossible to say that embroidery/ permanent makeup inks are safer when they fade fast. Why? Those laozharbor old aunties would do their eye tattoo once their lifetime back then and that was it. Not all turned green. However, nowadays, women have to do touch up ever 2-3 years. The skin on our face is delicate. It does not make sense, especially for sensitive areas like eyelid and lips to take a beating every 2-3 years as the needles would spoil the tissues/top layers of skin.  The beauticians would claim their needles go on a shallower part of skin. Bullshit. The limitation of depth into the skin has never really changed over the years.


14. Beauticians are stupid. Bloggers are stupider. Many could blog about how happy they are with the results after 1 week to 1 month.  Halo, dogs also look damn cute when they are puppy.   The stupidest bloggers are the ones that would write shit like "My beautician gave me a antiseptic cream to apply". And shit like "My beautician also give me a gel to apply so that the colour will stay longer."    Most of the time, the beauticians would just buy a big tub of the generic antiseptic cream from Guardian Pharmacy and squeeze it into the small containers.  As for the "gel/oil" to brighten the colours, guess what are the real contents?  Aloe vera gel, or various edible oils like sesame or olive oil you can get from ntuc supermarket. Bloggers ... toot like hell.


15. MOH/ Government should set a rule that consumers should have the right to know the brand of ink and anesthetic cream that beauticians are using on them.  It should be illegal for beauticians to brush us off with a "it's a trade secret, are you a spy?" Because other than safety of ink/anesthetic cream, consumers would purchase services base on attitude and character of a beautician. Example, you go to a doctor to get consultation for slimming pills. He will definitely tell you the brand and let you consider it first without worrying if other doctors are carrying the same brand.


Consumers/Singaporeans should learn to walk away from shitty beauticians who think they know the world about ink/eyebrow eyeliner lip embroidery.  The only thing they have is guts to poke the knife/blade into other peoples skin.
