Skin structure/mechanism and face tattoos

The skin consists of three layers of the "Epidermis" "Dermis" "Hypodermis" and organs such as a sweat gland, a sebaceous gland, the hair. Face tattoos are tattoos in which ink is applied to a relatively shallow area of ??the skin, around the border between the epidermis and dermis. It is a highly artistic technique that makes the most of each customer's individuality, just like makeup. As the ink is applied to the skin rather than the surface, it is less likely to come off with sweat or water.
(Salon provides shallow tattoos. The Supreme Court of Japan has ruled that tattoos are not a medical procedure, and we follow the Supreme Court's definition of tattoos. If you are concerned, I recommend that you get your tattoo done at another facility.)


Although there are individual differences,there is little pain and little swelling during the session. (Eyeliner and lips may cause redness and swelling.)

structure of the skin

Process of face tattoos don't give any damage to hair root,therefore you don't need worry that eyebrow's hair and lashes will fall off or never grow again.

The epidermis turns over roughly every 28 days, so the color of face tattoos will gradually fade over time (though they will not disappear completely). Therefore, it is possible to change the design and color to some extent.

Sensibility to pain is different each person.The physical condition influenced responsiveness. It seems to be sensitive that during menstruation,tiredness and lack of sleep. Those are very effective that you consider the day of reservation including your period's schedule,take a rest the day before,avoid alcohol and caffeine.

The mechanism of skin and Face Tattoo

structure of the epidermis The Epidermis is distributed between 4 of the "Stratum corneum" "Stratum granulosum" "Stratum spinosum" "Stratum basale" roughly. The stratum corneum is approximately 0.02 - 0.03 mm, protecting the inside of the skin from external irritation. The Stratum granulosum layer has various skin power such as repelling UV rays. The stratum spinosum is the thickest, carrying nutrients to the cell, and invading foreign matter is released by immune cells outside the body. The bottom, Stratum basale divides and constantly creates new cells.
The old Stratum corneum cell fall off about 28 days and it's called turnover to refesh skin.
There are individual differences in how easily the color is absorbed and how it develops. Skin type, epidermal thickness, and recovery ability are also different, so there are individual differences in how much color remains after one session. Even for the same person, there are differences in skin condition and recovery ability when in good or bad health, and there are times when the color remains easily and times when it does not. Since the face is constantly exposed to the outside air, the skin is also affected by it. The effects of the outside air on the skin also affect the results of face tattoos.

In skin that is in the process of healing, the stratum corneum on the surface is still immature and not strong. A session in this state not only puts a strain on the skin, but as the skin heals, the new stratum corneum rises from below and falls off, expelling the newly applied ink along with it. Therefore, if the skin is not fully healed, the ink will not adhere well. Based on this metabolic cycle, we ideally wait about one month between sessions. (Lip neutralization is at least three months later.) In general, the turnover cycle gets longer with age. In middle-aged and over, it may take more than 45 days, so it is better to wait longer between sessions for a better finish.

For this reason, face tattoos should be scheduled according to the skin's recovery time, rather than booking multiple sessions based on the desired completion date. Plan your schedule so that you have plenty of time.
Also, since there is no guarantee that there will be no allergies, it is not recommended to get a tattoo before important events such as weddings, entering school, starting a new job, changing jobs, or traveling.
