Is it true all scalp micro pigmentation turns blue with time? What is the best ingredient or pigmentation company to choose?

Question

I want to get SMP and I did some research and found out the most common problem with SMP that, it turns blue with time. And I visited some clinics that perform SMP some of them told me "Of course SMP with time it turns to blue and if anybody told you no they just lying to you" and all though some clinics told me no it will not turn blue. I am very worried that the ink will turn blue! So what is the truth? And what kind of ink and ingredients to look for in the clinics to prevent the color change

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably isn't.  All tattoo changes color and fades over time.If you want to seek out the "truth" meet former SMP patients to see the fading and the color change.

Yes, It can change color and become green or blue. However, if it is done right with the right concentration of the pigmenta and proper color, the risk of discoloration is very minimal. We prefer non permanent pigments for the same reason. They may fade but usually don't turn blue.

Yes most of the pigments used will fade or change color with time. Nonetheless, with the right dilution, the new organic inks and with some sun block use, you can greatly limit the chance of the "blue" color change. The fade into shades of grey will happen with time and this will need touching up.

Yes, SMP pigments can turn blue if it is too dark and the wrong pigments are used.  We take great care in the way we do this process to avoid this problem as much as possible and w make our own organic pigments
