PRE & AFTERCARE

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Please eat a small meal prior to appointment to regulate blood sugar levels.

In the days leading up to your appointment please lightly exfoliate and moisturise the area of treatment. This is especially important for lip procedures. Chapped and dry lips are unable to be tattooed. We recommend dermal therapy lip balm.

Please do not exercise on day of appointment.

Please strictly avoid the following 48 hours prior to your appointment:

  • Alcohol
  • Caffeine
  • Painkillers

Please strictly avoid the following 7 days prior to your appointment:

  • Fish oil or vitamin E supplements
  • If you are on blood thinners, please confirm with your health practitioner that it is safe for you to pause taking them in the lead up to your appointment
  • Any facial waxing, plucking or brow tinting

Please strictly avoid the following 14 days prior to your appointment:

  • Any product that thins the skin (e.g., Retinol, Vitamin A, Glycolic acid)
  • Botox or filler
  • Facials or chemical peels
  • Heavy sun exposure

All of the above mentioned will cause excess bleeding, which will push the pigment out of the skin and cause poor healed results.

If you are on acne medication e.g., doxycycline or isotretinoin, please note that your skin will not be suitable for a cosmetic tattoo until 6 months after your final dose has been taken.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT

Aftercare instructions will be provided to you at your appointment and must be followed for 10 days post procedure. In order to receive optimal healed results, it is imperative that you follow the aftercare process correctly. Please note that you will not be able to wear makeup, go in the sun or wet the treatment area for 10 days following your appointment. We recommend against booking a tattoo less than 2 weeks before a big event or holiday.

Avoid use of actives eg. retinol, glycolic acid on and around treatment area as this will cause the tattoo to fade at a much faster rate. We also advise limiting sun exposure on the treatment area and always using SPF.

Please note that true results are not revealed until 28 days post procedure.

If you have any questions or cocerns about any of the above please do not hesitate to get in contact
