Wow! How many live to regret that?

I recently had the opportunity to attend the Spa and Esthetique trade show that is held in Montreal, Quebec once a year. As usual, there were lots of vendors with a wide variety of interesting and compelling spa ideas and products.
However there was one booth I came across that literally made me give my head a shake! This particular company (and there are many more just like them) had created a “permanent” makeup line or as industry professionals like to refer to it “micropigmentation”. Basically tattooing.
Now, I admit that I do have my eyebrows dyed once a month in order to have them darkened…but, never once have I considered having them permanently tattooed onto my face! And let’s not stop just at eyebrows…there are also applications for eyeliner, lip liner, full lip color, eyeshadow and blush…just to name a few.
This got me thinking…what happens when you want to change your lipstick color, or you’ve lost interest in that particular eyeshade? Or, worse yet, like everyone who has tattooes, it starts to fade and begins to obscure…exactly how many “touchups” can your skin withstand?
I cannot imagine waking up every morning, looking in the mirror, donning a full face of makeup and I cannot help but wonder how many people live to regret that decision?
If anyone is looking for a career change…I suggest “tattoo removal”, I have a feeling there will be rapid growth in this industry.
