Before Care
- No alcohol or caffeine consumption 24 hours before procedure
- Do not take aspirin, niacin, vitamin E of ibprofen 24 hours before procedure
- Avoid sun and tanning one week prior to appointment
- For eyeliner PMU, remove any eyelash extensions one week prior to appointment
- If you have any skin irritation or swelling on the area, please reschedule your appointment
After Care
- Do not touch your tattoo with dirty fingers as it could create an infection on the affected area
- Do not sleep on your face to avoid lifting your scabs prematurely and make sure you’re sleeping on a clean pillowcase to avoid infection
- Avoid harsh cleansers, creams, makeup, or any other products on the treated area until all the scabs have naturally fallen off. These things can jeopardize the healing of the tattoo.
- Do not sweat on the tattoo until all the scabs have come off naturally. Sweat will take the pigment from your tattoo. If you do sweat on them, dab it off immediately.
Normal Healing Process
- The area will feel a bit sore and may have some swelling and minor bruising that lasts for 1-2 days. You may want to ice the skin if it is feeling tender and sore.
- Permanent makeup will start to form scabs and might look darker and thicker. As the skin heals, the scabs will fall off throughout the area. Avoid pulling off the scabs that are dried out.
