Lip Blush Precautions:

  • Exfoliate your lips every day with a lip scrub prior to treatment date and apply a lip moisturizer nightly. (We recommend applying organic honey) If lips are too dry the needle will not penetrate correctly - which may result in multiple sessions.

  • If you have had cold sores in the past, lip tattooing can and most likely will cause outbreaks. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that clients take a prescribed anti-viral medication a few days prior to their appointment and after the procedure to prevent an outbreak. Consult with your physician.

  • If you have an outbreak on your lip area, or any other type of scratch/acne please reschedule your appointment as soon as possible we are not able to work on you at this moment.

Eyeliner Precautions:

  • If you wear contacts, please wear glasses to the studio as no contacts can be worn during or 24 hours after procedure.

  • Do not wear eye make-up to this appointment.

  • What Factors Will Affect My Cosmetic Tattoo?

  • Bleeding during the procedure: Excessive bleeding during your procedure will greatly affect how your body retains pigment. While this is not entirely in our control, it is important that you follow prep instructions to help minimize bleeding. This includes avoiding blood thinning medications, alcohol, caffeine and working out before your procedure.

  • Smoking: Smokers may notice that their tattoo will fade faster

  • Suns exposure/ UV rays: Increased exposure to the sun will cause premature fading.

  • As with every tattoo in order to have proper healing, we recommend avoiding swimming, saunas, sun exposure, working out for two weeks following your appointment, so plan vacations accordingly.
