Gently apply a small amount of bepanthen or coconut oil to the tattooed area. Massage generously into the skin.
Do not cover – let the tattoo heal in the natural air.
Apply bepanthen or coconut oil 3-5 times a day for a fresh tattoo for approx two weeks.
If your tattoo becomes itchy or scabby – do not itch! This is a normal part of the healing process
Avoid the sun, chlorine, salt water and soaking the tattoo for at least two weeks
BEAUTY SPOTS
Post procedure do not use any retinols or glycolic, lactic, or AHA or any exfoliants. As mentioned in General Advice section.
No picking or scratching of treated area.
Wear sunscreen.
Avoid make up in the area until healed.
Remember, with the proper prep and aftercare you will have optimal results with your cosmetic tattoo procedure.
LIP BLUSH
If you’re having a Lip blush service and have a history of cold sores/fever blisters/herpex simplex, you will be required to obtain the proper antiviral tablets by a prescription or over the counter medications as required to prevent any unwanted outbreak caused by the tattooing on the lip area.
After the procedure, your lips may be swollen for 24-48 hours.
They will feel tender and tight as they heal. Keep them moisturised with Bepanthen cream or a plain, fresh chapstick.
Do not pick at any flaking skin. This will pull the pigment away and result in a patchy appearance.
Treat this as an open wound, stay clear of hot and spicy foods or acidic fruits as this will sting.
No Kissing until healed to reduce the possibility of infection.
We recommend you wait at least 2 weeks before having any cosmetic fillers in your lips post treatment to allow for complete healing of your lip tattoo before irritating the area again.
EYELINER
No eyelash extensions to be worn to any eyeliner services. There will be a lot of wiping of your lash line and your lash extensions will be wiped away.
Do not wear contact lenses during as your artist will be flushing your eyes during the treatment. Remember to bring your glasses. You may resume wearing contact lenses the following day.
You may experience slight swelling of the area.
You may take an antihistamine for reduced swelling.
Lash line heals within 3-7 days of treatment.
BROWS
Any tweezing, tinting or waxing should be done at least 48 hrs prior to your brow procedure.
After the treatment you may feel skin tightening, a little itchy and dry flaky skin. Minimal swelling may occur.
Gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the first day or until oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymph.
Do not pick at any flakes of skin. I know it is tempting!
Keep clean and well moisturised with Bepanthen cream or any other antibacterial cream.
