How it Works

SofTap is a registered trademark of SofTap Inc.  SofTap is recognized as the leading technique in the field for safety and accuracy.  We use a set of fine in-line needles, that are dipped into a pigment mixture and then softly tapped into the skin thereby depositing color permanently into the skin.  Traditional methods of tattooing use a reciprocating needle which pushes color into the skin.  The SofTap method gently lifts the skin to deposit color.  As a result, there is a definite difference in the amount of pain experienced by the client.  Many clients who have had permanent makeup with the traditional tattoo machine can attest to the fact that the SofTap method is far gentler.  Because it is gentler, the skin recovers faster.  Clients have been known to go out on the town immediately after their procedure.

The SofTap colors have earned their excellent reputation because they look so natural.  They are thick, rich, and creamy, which allows the permanent cosmetic technician complete control in color selection.  There are currently 47 fabulous colors to choose from.  Those include 18 different browns in the cool and warm palettes, 12 natural lip colors, 5 special effect colors and 9 camouflage colors.  No mixing is necessary.  Many who have had the SofTap colors used on them, said they looked so natural friends and family were surprised to hear it was permanent makeup.
