Vicky Martin
Vicky started in the industry in 2001 with her sister and they run a successful business in the south of England. Her background involved learning to become a body tattooist at first, which allowed her artistic flare to flow. She then attended numerous courses and travelled to many countries to put her skills into micropigmentation. Vicky always believes in continuously learning and growing and giving her all to her clients and business. In 2006 she travelled to America to study how to combine standard tattooing and medical micropigmentation. Learning the art of creating realistic aerolas for women who desired the final touch to regaining their confidence and self esteem.

Swiss Color® OS Pigments
http://www.swiss-color.com/fileadmin/assets/others/produkte_pigmente_os_1_v1.jpg
The heart of any PMU treatment are the pigments. We offer for the various applications high quality pigments to convince you and your customers. The world’s first Swiss Color ® OS pigments are free of iron oxides, color-stable, opaque and last longer in the skin! We only use fully synthetic pigments of which the quality of raw materials (according ResAP 2008) is guaranteed and run further tests by independent accredited laboratories. The optimal size of the pigment grains is 2 microns. Our OS pigments are size optimized. Thus we achieve a very high pigment density, color fastness and a maximum pigment accumulation in the skin. The blending component of our pigments is thin with low surface tension, thus the color gets optimally absorbed with the hygiene module and worked into the skin. This technique allows a very fast and effective pigmenting with less damage to the skin.
Benefits at a glance:
– no discoloration, pigments fade evenly
– better durability in the skin
– about 60-80% of the pigments remain visible after healing
– less rework
– less pain, due to delicate work
