Can a tattoo artist perform this same procedure?
No. A micro-pigmentation specialist is trained differently and uses different tools and techniques than a tattoo artist.

Getting the micro-pigmentation procedure done by a tattoo artist should never be considered as an option.

The micro-pigmentation procedure follows a different process altogether, using smaller and finer needles and organic ink, which doesn’t have the capability of migrating.

As for the dots, they will appear a bit larger for the first few days until the pores have closed up, then they will shrink giving it a more natural appearance.
