What Can Brown Do for You? - Summer 2005 by Elizabeth Finch Howell, CPCP
This article will help you to better understand and how to stay out of trouble with brown pigments.  The majority of clients want shades of brown eyebrows whether it is a blonde (the lightest of the brown tones,) a light brown (darker than blonde,) a medium brown, or a dark brown, (some bordering on the appearance of black.) 
 
Combining Cosmetic Tattooing with Other Surgical Procedures - Fall 2004 by Whitney D. Tope, MPhil, MD
Frequently asked questions by cosmetic tattoo artists concern the advisability of performing cosmetic tattooing in association with other common surgical procedures. Does one negatively affect the results of the other? Can multiple procedures be performed at the same time or at different times? Which should be performed first? How long should one wait before performing the second procedure? The answers to these questions lie in understanding the individual procedures, the changes they create in the skin, and the timing of wound healing.
 
Good Blood/Bad Blood - Winter 2003 Marjorie Grimm, CPCP
Frequently students, clients, or observers to Permanent Makeup procedures will become somewhat taken aback that there is blood involved with our procedures. There are those that even fear fainting from the sign of the smallest amount of blood, theirs or others.  But blood is important to us as it can tell us some very important things about our clients.
 
Infection Control Update - Summer 2003 by David Vidra

This is the first in a series of articles which will deal with infection control issues in the modification industry i.e., tattooing and piercing.

Infection “control” is the process of preventing infection from occurring, not only to our clients but to ourselves, as practitioners. It is not enough to practice the learned routines of protection. You must know why you do what you do. Only then are you able to understand the process of infection control and practice it safely.
