5 Things Skeptics Say About Cosmetic Tattooing (and Why They're All Wrong)

By: Gen Wright Home | Health-and-Fitness


There are so many misconceptions out there about what it means to have cosmetic procedures done to your face, torso, or legs. People that just don't get it often make accusations without stopping for one moment to consider the legitimate useful functions that motivates millions every year to opt for some kind of enhancement. Of these enhancements, semi permanent makeup is one of the best, and is increasing in popularity. But the skeptics still talk, and here are a few of the things they say:

You must be really vain to want to get something like that done. Why must every person who wants to improve their appearance and use technology to help them do it be subjected to this moralistic and judgmental view? If a person is capable of having the operation done to feel better about themselves, that will only lead to a more productive citizen for society.

You don't have any self esteem if you want to do that. Again, skeptics of these procedures choose to attack and belittle. They assume that because you want to look your best, and you feel you need qualified and professional help to do it, that you hate who you are. This couldn't be further from the truth. If anything, you care enough about yourself to try and make improvements. Not only does this reflect well on your self image, but also it shows a caring and concern for those who love you. They can't be their best unless they feel you are at yours.

You have more money than you know what to do with. A lifetime of makeup at $100 a month, every year, adds up. Cosmetic tattooing can be performed at a miniscule fraction of that hefty price tag.

Procedures like that serve no useful purpose. Tell this one to those injured in an accident. Tell it to the breast cancer patient, who suffers the indignity of a mastectomy just to prolong her life. Tell it to the person with the unsightly four-inch scar running along his abdomen when he had to have that emergency appendectomy. Do these people not have the right to go out in public, look, and feel their best?

You look fine the way you are. Why would you want to do that? Opting for semi permanent makeup is not necessarily about self esteem issues. You can be perfectly happy with your body and still find value in having the procedure performed. Think of the time and money you save in the long run by finding a look that is right for you and forgoing those monthly trips to the makeup counter.

With the right makeup technician or salon, you can shake off the comments and blow your critics out of the water with beauty and attitude that exemplifies you at your best.
