To be a successful cosmetic tattooist is to be highly skilled at color theory. This concept is critical to grasp in your permanent make-up career as it is applied in every client treatment and will inform how you approach your techniques. Whether you are a newly graduated PMU artist or a seasoned cosmetic tattooist wanting to further understand your trade, this book provides the base knowledge required to build upon your use of color and pigments. Although many cosmetic tattooing courses address this topic, the fundamentals of choosing pigments for certain skin types and diagnosis of color issues is often an area where training falls short.

Color Theory for Cosmetic Tattooists provides a blueprint of fundamentals to expand upon and details: How you can use the principles of color theory in practice to excel your business How to avoid angry clients with unexpected tattoo color changes How to pick a pigment line and the red flags to avoid in a brand Why cosmetic tattoos change color and how to diagnose the true cause so you can correct issues Key precautions when performing pigment skin tests to avoid adverse reactions How to accurately assess client skin tone without mistaking a cool for a warm type How to take the guesswork out of using pigment modifiers What you absolutely shouldn't do when combining a pigment mixture What the best pigments are for ombre brows, microblading, eyeliner and lip tattoos When you should and shouldn't attempt color corrections and alternative approaches The hidden client factors you need to know to avoid stressful complaints Key mistakes to avoid that will impact healed color and results Color Theory for Cosmetic Tattooists was written to address the lack of color focused texts available for permanent make-up practitioners.

Take a theoretical approach to architecture with The Autopoiesis of Architecture, which presents the topic as a discipline with its own unique logic. Architecture's conception of itself is addressed as well as its development within wider contemporary society. Author Patrik Schumacher offers innovative treatment that enriches architectural theory with a coordinated arsenal of concepts facilitating both detailed analysis and insightful comparisons with other domains, such as art, science and politics. He explores how the various modes of communication comprising architecture depend upon each other, combine, and form a unique subsystem of society that co-evolves with other important autopoietic subsystems like art, science, politics and the economy. The first of two volumes that together present a comprehensive account of architecture's autopoiesis, this book elaborates the theory of architecture?s autopoeisis in 8 parts, 50 sections and 200 chapters. Each of the 50 sections poses a thesis drawing a central message from the insights articulated within the respective section. The 200 chapters are gathering and sorting the accumulated intelligence of the discipline according to the new conceptual framework adopted, in order to catalyze and elaborate the new formulations and insights that are then encapsulated in the theses. However, while the theoretical work in the text of the chapters relies on the rigorous build up of a new theoretical language, the theses are written in ordinary language ? with the theoretical concepts placed in brackets. The full list of the 50 theses affords a convenient summary printed as appendix at the end of the book. The second volume completes the analysis of the discourse and further proposes a new agenda for contemporary architecture in response to the challenges and opportunities that confront architectural design within the context of current societal and technological developments.
