Aftercare

Be prepared for how dark/bold/intense the colour will be, straight after your procedure. It takes roughly 7-10 days for the outer layer of your skin to heal, after this you will notice the colour will soften and fade approximately 30-50%. At your touch up, I’m then able to correctly assess the colour and make any adjustments.

• Do not expose your healing skin to direct sun, wind, tanning beds, hot water, saunas, salt water, pool water for at least 7-10 days following the procedure. • Do not touch, rub or traumatize the pigments area. Do not pick, peel or scratch your healing skin as you may cause uneven healing of pigment, or you may risk infection or scarring. • Do not soak the tattooed area. You may wet the clean but just a gentle wipe over with nothing other than cool, sterile water. • No fragranced soap, moisturisers, makeup etc until completely healed. • Please avoid excessive exercise for the first week of the healing process as sweating can cause colour loss • Aftercare cream - For Brows: use a thin layer of cream as a barrier when you are washing your hair or face. When they start peeling you can apply a thin layer of cream to stop itching. Otherwise, let them breathe and heal naturally. Treat them just like an open surgical wound. • Aftercare cream- For Lips: keep lips moisturised at all time for at least the first week. Use a fresh cotton tip to apply cream to avoid contamination. You do not want them to dry out and crack. • After cream - for Eyeliner: eyeliner heals best when simply left alone. No mascara or eyeshadow for minimum 1 week. No lash extensions for 2 weeks. Please remember that cosmetic tattooing is a process and requires a minimum of 2 procedures to reach the desired results. In some cases, Lips & Eyeliner can require a 3rd appointment. Everyone heals differently depending on skin type, immune system and lifestyle and there are no guarantees. Results will be dark and bold immediately after and will soften and fade approximately 30-50% during healing. During weeks 2-4, your colour may look as though it has disappeared. This is completely normal. The pigment will settle between weeks 4-6, which is why I recommend a touch up around weeks 6-8. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
