Migration occurs when pigment is implanted in an area and the vessels grab the pigment and carry it away from the intended area. This can look like anything from a small usually fuzzy circle of unwanted color to a long streak of color running down the face depending on where the vessels carried it. Sometimes, going all the way into the corner of the mouth or joining the color at the corners of the eye can make this happen. Go to the chat room at WAKEUPINYOURMAKEUP.com and ask the industry people there as well. I believe removal is very difficult and may require laser treatment to be successful. Lela, your instructor should be able to provide information on this as well.

Migration - Migration is the bleeding of color away from intended pigment placement. Permanent cosmetic eyeliner is one of the most frequent areas of "migration." Pigment migration of any permanent cosmetics application can occur, however. It is caused by any one or any combination of the following 3 factors: 1. Pigment was applied too aggressively. 2. Ink was used instead of specially manufactured permanent makeup pigments. 3. The client's skin is very thin. Prevention - Observing the 3 mentioned contributing factors for migration, above, plus following the usually accepted pattern of tattooing eyeliner will prevent migration from occurring in most cases. It is a hard and fast rule in the permanent cosmetic industry that eyeliner should not be applied to the medial (innermost) or lateral (outermost) corners of the eyelids. The reason is that the thinnest skin of the eyelids occurs in these areas and there are various, numerous ducts and vessels around the eyelids that pigment can use for travel. Consequently, these are the most common areas of migration. Removal - There is little to be done for procuring immediate relief of migrated pigment. However, there are techniques for assisting the body to deal with migrated color over a period of time when mild to moderate migration is noted. In order to preserve and protect clients and permanent cosmetic professionals alike, I can only suggest that formal training in the area of pigment lightening be obtained from established trainers in the permanent cosmetic industry. I hope I have supplied satisfactory answers your questions about the migration of permanent makeup pigments. Cheryl Doss, R.N.

Pigment migration is a result of thin pigment,wrog needle tilt & or skin thickness Always point the needle to where you want to have pigment.Never extend your liner beyond the lash line.Remember wherever the needle pints, that is where the pigment may eventually end up. Migration removal is very very difficult if not impossible - Use a Dr. or PM expert Good Luck Esther

Pigment Migration is a result of thin pigment, wrong needle tilt, and skin thickness. Always point the needle to where you want to have pigment. Never extend your liner beyond the lash line. Remember wherever the needle points that is where the pigment may eventually end up. In certain areas, pigment can't be removed. A Dr. or an expert professional permanent makeup artist may be able to help.

okay migration is loose ink, possibly ink that has moved under the skin. This can happen for several reasons that are not linked to the technician directly all the time. It is commonly thought to be that it is the depth misjudged and not working shallow. In most cases, laser is the most appropriate way to remove. If you try to do it any other way the introduction of more fluid to remove it may hydrate it and make it worse. laser is your best cure

I do permanent make up also. migration happens when you hit a blood vessel and the pigment is carried by the blood into an unwanted area. i had this happen recently. this not common but it can happen. trying to cover it with flesh tones or using a laser are the only way to fix it. neither one is an excellent option but, thats all we got. thank god it doesn't happen often because it sucks when it does!

Migration can be caused by not holding the needles upright. If they are slanted, you could be inserting pigment beside, not under the needle. Removing it is very tricky. Depends on the area. The least invasive way, for starters, is to use saline and very fine salt. Useing your machine, put as much of the solution into that part that you want to remove. Lots of up and down polks, as you want to open up the skin a bit. It will look darker at first, and when it scabs, some of the pigment will come with it. Beware of anyone who scars easily. 2 or 3 treatments could help lighten it. Not sure if I would do this ON the eyelid. corners, yes
