Scalp micropigments turn into a blue color, is this dangerous for my health? (Photo)

Question

1 month ago I had scalp micropigmentation. The micropigments have gone blue in color? Will this fade after years or it will be here for the rest of my life? Is this dangerous for my health? Thank you

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Scalp MicroPigmentation or SMP is basically a tattoo.  If you are having issues after your SMP it is best to follow up with your doctor.SMP can turn blue if poor quality pigment or ink was used.SMP would be considered dangerous if dirty needles or unsanitary pigments were used.

The photos don't do justice to your complaint. A blue tinge to the SMP when the black pigments are used is not dangerous.  I would have to see you and understand what I am seeing
