Laser Tattoo Removal in Airdrie & Calgary | Why Tattoo & PMU Pigment Changes in the Skin

If you’re searching for laser tattoo removal in Airdrie or microblading removal near Calgary, you may be wondering:

Why did my tattoo change colour?
Why did my microblading turn grey?
Why did my brows heal darker than expected?
Was it the artist’s fault?

At Byōōdē Bar in Airdrie, Alberta, we take a science-based approach to tattoo removal and PMU correction. Because the truth is:

Pigment behaviour is influenced by the skin, not just the artist.

The Chemistry of Skin & Why Tattoo Pigment Changes Over Time

When tattoo or cosmetic pigment is implanted into the dermis, your body immediately begins interacting with it.

Over time, changes can occur due to:

1️⃣ Hormonal Changes

Hormones significantly influence:

  • Oil production

  • Circulation

  • Inflammation

  • Melanin activity

  • Skin thickness

Pregnancy, perimenopause, menopause, thyroid conditions, and stress hormones can all alter how pigment sits in the skin.

This is one reason some microblading in Airdrie or Calgary may heal differently years later — even if it initially looked perfect.

2️⃣ Immune System Response

Your immune system is constantly working to break down foreign particles — including tattoo pigment.

The way your body metabolizes ink affects:

  • How quickly it fades

  • Whether it pulls warm or cool

  • If it turns slightly ashy or grey

This is biology — not blame.

3️⃣ Circulation & Oxygenation

Poor circulation or changes in vascular flow can alter how pigment reflects light through the skin.

Pigment doesn’t actually “change colour” — light refracts differently depending on:

  • Skin thickness

  • Collagen density

  • Capillary health

  • Hydration

This is why some brows appear:

  • Blue/grey

  • Darker than intended

  • Slightly cool-toned over time

Especially in mature skin.

4️⃣ Sun Exposure & Oxidation

UV exposure in Alberta’s high sun index environment can oxidize certain pigments.

Clients in Airdrie and Calgary who are active outdoors may see:

  • Faster fading

  • Warmer tones disappearing first

  • Cool tones becoming more dominant

5️⃣ Skin Type & Oil Production

Oily skin types often:

  • Blur microblading strokes

  • Heal darker

  • Fade unpredictably

Drier skin may:

  • Hold pigment longer

  • But shift tone differently

This is individual skin chemistry — not automatically artist error.

When It Isn’t About “Bad Work”

At Byōōdē Bar, we believe in education over blame.

Yes, poor technique can happen in any industry.
But very often, when clients search:

“Why did my microblading turn grey in Calgary?”
“Why are my PMU brows dark?”
“Best microblading removal Airdrie”

The answer lies in skin behaviour — not incompetence.

That distinction matters.

Because it shifts the conversation from shame… to solution.
