Preparation + After Care
Permanent Makeup

Please read all preparation + after care information so you know what needs to be discontinued before your skin can be worked on and what to do to protect your new makeup after. 

We know this is A LOT of information, but any cosmetic tattoo service is a permanent change to your appearance, and we want all of our clients to achieve the best results. The best results come from the best, healthy skin as a canvas. Because of that, we have strict guidelines.

How to prepare:

 

Day of booking the appointment

  • Make sure to read all policies and preparation that are listed on our website.

  • If you have previous work, make sure it is "okayed" PRIOR to booking.

  • If you have ANY medical conditions or are on any blood thinning medications, contact the shop PRIOR to booking


60 days before appointment

  • Discontinue any use of ALL facial products containing: Vitamin A or Retinols.

  • If you are on ANY medical skin care or any prescribed medications for skin issues, please contact us as they may need to be discontinued longer than 60 days. This includes growth serums. 


30 days before appointment

  • Discontinue any use of ALL facial products containing: Glycolic or Lactic Acid (AHA acids).

  • No tanning.

  • No electrolysis.

  • No professional facial treatments, chemical peels, exfoliants, etc.


14 days before appointment

  • No Botox, disport or fillers in the area to be tattooed.

  • Discontinue fish oil supplements (NATURAL BLOOD THINNER).

  • No waxing or tweezing past this point if getting brows done.

  • If eyeliner is your selected service, any false lashes must be removed at this time.


48 hours before appointment

  • Take some time to find pictures of brows and lip colors that you like so your artist knows what styles and colors you are going for.

  • Discontinue any over the counter blood thinning medications such as pain killers.

  • NO DRINKING PAST THIS POINT. Yes, not even ONE glass of wine.


Day of the appointment

  • No working out.

  • NO CAFFEINE. This includes coffee, soda and energy drinks.

  • We ask you come in with brow makeup on for new brow sessions

  • Make sure you have your ID to fill out paperwork & make sure to give yourself enough travel time as we do have a 15 minute late policy.

 

Additional Preparation for Lip Blushing

  • Your lips cannot be dry for the appointment. If they are dry, we will need to reschedule, and you will forfeit your booking fee. You may exfoliate 3 days before your appointment to remove any dry skin, You can use a lip scrub or create your own using a little honey and brown sugar.

  • For the week leading up to the appointment you must moisturize your lips as much as possible. I recommend using Aquaphor.

  • IMPORTANT: Cold sores are a risk of lip blush tattoo. If you have had a cold sore in the past we advise you to go to the doctor for an anti-viral medication prior to any lip procedure to help avoid an outbreak. Even if you have not had a cold sore before it is recommended all clients take L-Lysine 2 weeks before the appointment and 2 weeks before the appointment and 2 weeks following the appointment to reduce the risk.
