No, SMP ink is not the same as tattoo ink. SMP ink is specifically formulated for scalp micropigmentation, while tattoo ink is designed for permanent body art. SMP ink is created to replicate the look of natural hair follicles on the scalp, matching the colour, texture, and depth required for realistic results. It typically contains specialized pigments that are more stable, fade-resistant, and less likely to change colour over time. Additionally, SMP inks often have a smaller particle size to ensure precise application and a natural appearance. Using tattoo ink for scalp micropigmentation can result in less satisfactory and less realistic outcomes. It is crucial to use SMP ink that is specifically designed for this specialized procedure.
