Problem

Colour has not taken

Skin bleeds easily/client bleeds heavily

Result is blotchy

Colour too ashy

Thick, crusty scab has formed

Healed strokes are fuzzy/blurry

Missing spaces

Cause

The pigment did not reach the dermis

The clients skin is too thin/sensitive or pressure applied is too heavy

Uneven pressure or differing angles used

Colour has been implanted too deep - or pigment selected needs a warm modifier adding to it

Thick plasma has formed on the skin as a result of too much aftercare product without cleaning. As a result the skin is unable to breathe

The client has an oily skin type or heavy bleeding has occurred. Technique or defective needle could also be responsible

Inconsistent technique

Solution

Stretch and pressure need improvement

Lighten up the pressure and work slowly and methodically. Make each stroke count

Focus on consistency of pressure and needle contact. Slow down

Remove existing design or apply a warm modifier to pigment at follow-up

Remove the scab through rinsing the face with a hot shower, gently rubbing the area. Apply unscented moisturiser until follow-up

Stretch skin tighter on follow-up and space strokes out further in a darker pigment to add dimension

Stretch the skin tighter and work slowly on each stroke whilst maintaining consistent pressure and an upright angle. Focus on ensuring all needles make full contact with the skin
