When tattooing something as visible as lips, brows, or colour specific like scar coverage or areolas you want to know you have the best around. Following is what makes each brand unique and worthwhile.

Perma Blend
Long lasting and fades to a lighter version of the same colour due to the high-density load, with a rich tone. Equally suitable to microblading and machine work, the more liquid form where when microblading, less ink is better meaning a single bottle will last a long time. With an amazing range of shades whatever colour you’re after, it can be found in Permablend.

Evenflo
If a more natural look is being sought, Evenflo is an excellent range. With a focus on sheer, natural looks these inks heal well and have high retention so less touch ups are needed. As they have less titanium dioxide it gives a more translucent finish, giving a soft enhancement rather than a saturated look.

Permablend Luxe
The Luxe range is the REACH compliant wing of Perma Blend, being safer and less likely to cause reactions while still retaining the great range of long lasting colours you’ve come to know and love. While not being exactly 1 to 1 due to each pigment being a fresh new look at colouration, it is still the same company you know and trust.

Tina Davies
Tina Davies has been a PMU artist for 20+ years, and has a deep knowledge of what pigments work and don’t work. She’s put all of that into developing her range of inks with education programs and knowledge on best use from brows and lips, making her pigments ideal for people starting out or who want to branch into new sides of the PMU world.

World Famous
Coming from traditional tattooing roots, World Famous has many pigments that are ideal for permanent makeup, scar covering and areola work. With options such as Samantha Rae’s Pink Ribbon set which is perfect for nipple coloration and skin matching and a vast range of reds and pinks for lips as well as other skin tones. This makes them ideal for a more permanent option than other brands, with a long-standing history of quality pigments.
