HOW TO PREPARE FOR ALL PERMANENT MAKEUP APPOINTMENTS:
ALL FACIAL PRODUCTS CONTAINING RETINOIDS/RETINOL, RETIN-A/TRETINOIN, GLYCOLIC/LACTIC ACIDS (AHA ACIDS) MUST BE DISCONTINUED FOR A MINIMUM OF 14 DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT.
These are exfoliating acids that are commonly found in anti-aging products that thin the skin,
making it not suitable for tattooing.
DO NOT CONSUME ALCOHOL OR TAKE ANY BLOOD THINNERS WITHIN 48HRS.
Aspirin, Ibuprofen, or Niacin will cause excess bleeding and may affect your healed results.
DISCONTINUE FISH OIL/TUMERIC SUPPLEMENTS WITHIN 14 DAYS.
These supplements can also thin the blood, causing undesirable results.
NO ANTIBIOTICS/STEROIDS FOR 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO APPOINTMENT.
CLIENTS WITH IRON DEFICIENCY
Please make sure you are supplementing to ensure the best healed color results.
NO TANNING/SUNBURN.
Sunburned skin is wounded skin, not suitable for tattooing.
ANY BOTOX/FILLER INJECTIONS SHOULD BE DONE AT LEAST TWO WEEKS PRIOR/AFTER.
Injections have their own set of aftercare instructions. Don't disturb it.
NO FACIAL TREATMENTS, SURGERIES, CHEMICAL PEELS, EXFOLIANTS, LASER/ELECTROLYSIS, ETC. WITHIN 14 DAYS.
The skin needs time to recover after aggressive/invasive procedures prior to being tattooed.
SCARS/MOLES WITHIN AREA.
Healed pigment over scars is not guaranteed. Moles cannot be tattooed, but will be avoided!
ON THE DAY OF YOUR PROCEDURE, DO NOT EXERCISE OR CONSUME CAFFEINE.
Exercising increases your blood pressure/blood flow and caffeine can thin your blood, causing undesirable results.
If you have ANY ADDITIONAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS, CONCERNS, OR ARE ON ANY MEDICATIONS (any autoimmune diseases, thyroid, diabetes, etc.) please contact prior to booking. You may not be a candidate for tattooing or you may be asked to provide documentation from your physician.
