Why does SMP Turn Blue or Green?
Wrong ink
Tattoo ink or poor-quality head tattoo pigments can result in discoloration. When the pigment is placed in the skin, the immune system and UV rays of the sun break it down into constituent colors. Sometimes it results in a blue hue.

One such example is DermMicro high density SMP pigment, which is vegan-friendly and won’t change color. The pigment is animal and cruelty free.

Incorrect Application
SMP must be placed at the right skin layer, that is, just below the epidermis. If placed at a deeper level, there is a high chance of scalp pigment turning blue or green. The pigment can hold its structure at the top dermis layer. At this level, the color is better able to stay for a long time. Tattoo that is deposited at a deeper level in the hpodermins, which has blood and fat cells. As a result, there is a higher risk of discoloration or migration. The dots or impressions turn bigger over a period of time and spread in the skin.
The same tattoo artists that use wrong pigments for SMP deposit it in the deeper layer in the skin. The skin cellular structure is tightly packed closer to the surface. But as we go deeper into the dermal layer, cells are not as structured with more fluid. As a result, there are higher chances of pigment spreading, resulting in larger dots. Sometimes there is a loss of individual dot definition, which leaves behind smudge or blur.
