Micropigmentation is a form of tattoo artistry where pigment is deposited into the upper layer of the dermis using a small tattoo machine. It differs from a traditional tattoo in many ways, for example the needle choice, the pigment type and the method of implantation. Any procedure where colour is implanted into the skin is a tattoo of some description. The blades are so small and fine that they produce fine, delicate and natural-looking hair strokes when applied by a knowledgeable technician.
