AFTERCARE

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW TATTOO!

NOW RELAX & DO NOTHING

When you get home, remove the protective layer of ointment with a clean paper towel or gauze with lukewarm water.

Keep dry for 2 days, we recommend bathing instead of showers.

We recommend washing the tattooed area gently 2-3 times a day with lukewarm water and a paper towel or gauze. Apply a THIN layer of the moisturizing cream for 2 weeks when dry. Keep out of the sun throughout the healing process. Do not apply ANY cosmetics in this area and avoid sweating for AT LEAST 10-14 days. Keep the area clean and let it breathe!

DURING THE HEALING PROCESS

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM

  • Application of any brow makeup for 2 weeks.

  • Scratching or removal of scabs, dry skin/flakiness.

  • Direct water on the brow tattoo and the use of cleansers, soaps, and heavy creams. Wash around the areas using a cleaning cloth or oil-free makeup wipe.

  • Vaseline, Neosporin, and any other petroleum based products.

  • Activities that will cause sweating for 10 days.

  • Swimming pools, hot tubs, or other bodies of water for 14 days.

  • UV exposure (including tanning booths).

  • Laser light therapy, as it can darken/lighten or distort the pigment.

  • Exfoliants, retinol acids, or AHA’s on the area for 30 days after the appointment (causes premature fading).

  • Massages, facials, or skin treatments.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

YOU DID REALLY JUST GET A TATTOO

( I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE! )

Immediately following your procedure, the tattooed area will appear to be darker and bolder in color and more sharply defined. This can last up to a week after the treatment while the initial healing process takes place. 

During the initial healing period, there should be minimal scabbing or flaking of the skin. If there is some scabbing or flaking, do not pick, and allow the scab or dry skin to come off on its own.

The complete healing process takes about 6-8 weeks, at which time the true color of the tattoo is evident. During this process, your tattoo will soften and lighten. Be patient, even if you think too much color has been lost, as your skin is still regenerating and naturally exfoliating. Wait at least 6 weeks to see the true color, as it seems to take on new strength, and it is only after 2 months that your touch-up/adjustment can be done.

FOR BEST RESULTS

  • Semi-Permanent tattoos normally last 1-3 years depending on lifestyle, skin type, aftercare & method.

  • Exposure to the sun and tanning beds can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. Once completely healed, always apply sunscreen (50 SPF or greater) on brow area.

  • Avoid using chemical exfoliants on the brows, as they will cause fading.

  • Do not do laser your brow area (IPL). Some lasers may change the color of the ink.

  • Additional brow makeup application may still be required post tattoo to achieve your desired look.

  • Yearly touch-ups are recommended to maintain optimal results.
