Li Pigments Aqua® - Old Rose Areola

Temperature: Slightly Warm
Base: Pink Inorganic

Shade Description:
Old Rose is a deep, reddish-pink pigment formulated for areola and nipple tattooing. Its bold tone offers a natural yet defined color, making it a versatile choice for restorative and paramedical tattoo procedures. This shade can be used full strength for a rich, darker nipple color or softened to achieve a softer, more subtle areola effect.

Permanent makeup artists reach for Old Rose when they need a pigment that balances warmth with natural pink undertones—ideal for clients looking for authentic and realistic healed results. Because it’s slightly warm, it helps counteract cooler undertones in scarred or compromised skin, blending beautifully for a lifelike finish.

Why Artists Love Old Rose:

• Authenticity: Delivers a realistic nipple and areola shade suitable for a wide range of skin tones.

• Versatility: Can be used boldly or diluted for a softer, more natural healed look.

• Stable Base: With a pink inorganic base, Old Rose is less likely to shift into unwanted tones over time.

• Restorative Work: Especially valuable in paramedical tattooing for breast reconstruction clients, scar camouflage, and 3D areola artistry.

Pro Tips for Artists:

• Dilution: For clients seeking a natural areola blush rather than full saturation, mix Old Rose with a modifier or dilute with a thinner solution.

• Mixing: Pair with lighter pinks or neutral tones to customize shades for different Fitzpatrick skin types.

• Technique: Layer in circular or feathered motions to create a more dimensional, 3D areola effect.
