SofTap pigments have never chased trends or hype. We're a legacy brand; time-tested, trusted, and committed to pigments that are stable, predictable, safe, and long-lasting.
Since 1988 we've focused on one thing: creating pigments that heal natural, are stable, predictable, and safe.
What Makes SofTap Pigments Different?
We refuse shortcuts.
Many PMU pigments rely on dyes that fade quickly, carbon black that remains ashy and permanent, or fillers that dilute concentration or are harmful to the skin.
We don't use any of those.
Our pigments are inorganic and carbon-free, made with refined iron oxides that heal soft and natural. Even our darkest shades are intentionally carbon-free.
Developed & refined over 30+ years by working artists
Who SofTap Pigments May Not Be Right For
SofTap pigments are designed for soft, natural healing and long-term predictability. They may not be the right fit if you:
- Prefer ultra-bold, trend-driven saturation
- Rely on carbon black for depth or contrast
- Prefer dark, opaque healed results
If natural, skin-respectful results matter to you, you’re in the right place.
Luxurious Consistency
The texture of our pigments is the first thing artists notice. They're thick, creamy, silky, and highly concentrated.
Artists often tell us:
"The color went in like butter"
"I can't believe how much retention I had after one appointment"
"My appointment window has been cut in half due to how easily these pigments go into the skin!"
The consistency and concentration of our pigments allows you to work more efficiently, resulting in less skin trauma and better retention.
Designed for Hand Method & Machine
We often get asked if our pigments work with PMU machines, after all, the SofTap brand is centered around the hand method.
Our pigments are not only compatible with all PMU machines, they also perform beautifully.
The creamy consistency allows for smooth implantation without drying out, gumming up, or over-working the skin (whether you are hand tapping or using a machine).

Iconic vs Classic Pigments
Both pigment lines share the same quality backbone: clean, carbon-free, inorganic formulas that are compatible with hand tools & machines.
Long-Term Healed Results
A lot of permanent makeup looks amazing right after the procedure, but what about in 6 months? One year? Five years?
Long-term healed results matter to us; not just how they look, but also how they may affect our bodies.
Right now, there's limited long-term research on PMU pigments, so we take a conservative, safety-first approach to formulation by choosing ingredients with proven stability and history in the skin and body.
