It is common to speak of "tattooing pigments" or "tattoo inks". These terms are incorrect, since the product used does not have the chemistry of an ink; as for the pigment, it is only a component of the final product. The product used in restorative micropigmentation (and permanent makeup) is, in fact, a pigment dispersion. As this term is a bit lengthy, we will use the term "pigment" in a permanent makeup context, and "ink" when discussing restorative colouring.
