Welcome 

 Thank you for your interest.  Most procedures take 2 hours from start to finish.

To ensure your safety, please take the time to read the pre-and-post procedure protocals.

Pre-Procedure

  • If you are having a lip procedure, and you have ever had herpes simplex, cold sores or fever blisters you must obtain a prescription from your doctor or dentist for Valtrex or another medication. I recommend two pills the day before and two pills the day of your treatment. This will prevent an outbreak, so that the outcome of your treatment is not compromised. 

  • If you have any allergies to antibiotic ointments, latex or petroleum products be sure to tell me BEFORE I start any work on you. This way, I can make sure any equipment or products that I might use will be safe for use on you.

  • If you are using Latisse or any eyelash growth formula, please discontinue 4 weeks (30 days) before and 4 weeks after your treatments. 

  • If you are using Retin-A or other retinoid-based skin products or glycolic acid skin products, you must discontinue these products for five days prior to your procedure and 10 days after.

  • Accutane users are advised to wait six months to one year before receiving treatment.

  • Please provide me with an accurate list of medications you may be currently taking.

  • If you have diabetes you may be requested to bring a release from your doctor.

  • No pain killers 24 hours before and after your treatment, such as  Advil (Ibuprofen,) Aleve, Aspirin, etc. These medications can also cause excess bleeding, since they can thin out your blood and affect the way the skin reacts to the tattoo. 

  • Do not wax or tint your brows 48 hours before your treatment and 2 weeks after.

  • If you are on blood thinners or anti-plaque medications please contact your doctor before booking an appointment. Inquire if it is possible for you to stop three to five days before the procedure.

  • It is not ever advisable to stop any medication without your doctor’s consent. 

 

Post-Procedure

  • Your permanent makeup will look darker and more dramatic for the first 3-7 days following your procedure. This is normal and temporary.

  • You may use a cold pack to ease discomfort and help reduce any swelling after your procedure. I recommend a gel-pack.

  • Apply a thin layer ointment over the area before showering or washing your face. This will act as a thin band aid to protect the area from bacteria. Pat the area dry with a clean towel.

  • Apply ointment with a clean Qtip. 

  • Do not work out for one week. As we sweat it forces pores to open and squeeze’s out the pigment before it has a chance to heal in. 

  • Stay out of the sun and tanning beds as long as possible, as this will affect your procedure's longevity. You may apply sunscreen 7 days after your procedure.

  • Do not use saunas, hot tubs or steam rooms. Do not go swimming, take baths or soak the tattoo for two weeks..

  • If you live or are in a dry climate please double up on your ointment application through the day. This will ensure your healing process. 

  • Do not let the area scab (apply ointment more often.)

Immediately following
  • Your results will appear much darker immediately after the procedure. In the following one to four weeks your skin will exfoliate about 20-30% of the color (sometimes more depending on your skin type.) This is normal and is why the second touch-up is vital.
  • You must follow the aftercare instructions you will receive following your treatment to ensure your permanent cosmetic design can properly heal.
  • At approximately one month after your procedure you will have a touch-up visit. Color and design adjustments can be made at this time.
  • This touch up visit is very important and required before it can be determined that your procedure is complete.
  • IF AT ANYTIME AFTER YOUR procedure the area becomes Hot, Red, Inflamed  Please consult a physician immediately, you may have come in contact with bacteria and may need some antibiotics, it is extremely rare but we are required to tell our clients the warrning signs
