Aftercare

The cosmetic tatoo healing process may be filled with ups and downs..but please don't let it scare you! I am going to explain what to expect during the healing process. So please trust the process!

 

BROWS â€‹

  • ​Immediately after your appointment, your eyebrows will appear to be darker. Swelling and redness is minimal with most of clients, and it will disappear within 1-2days. The tattooed area may feel sore and tender, it will disappear within 1-2days.

  • Wipe your brows every hour with damp cotton rounds on day 1.

  • KEEP THE TATTOOED AREA CLEAN, wash your hands thoroughly before touching the tattoo. 

  • Wash the tattooed area 2 times a day to prevent bacterial built-up (use gentle soap such as baby soap if needed) and apply  a THIN layer of the aftercare cream if needed.

  • Do not keep the  tattooed are wet, pat dry immediately after washing. Avoid long shower, hot tub, swimming etc.

  • Avoid sweaty activities. 

  • Avoid any kind of moisturizer, Vaseline and make-up on tattooed areas.

  • Do not pick at or scratch the scabs or skin. Let the scabs fall off naturally. Picking can cause loss of pigment.

  • Once the scabs have fallen off, it will appear as though the pigment is all gone, but the hair strokes will slowly  reappear at a lighter shade as your skin heals completely within 2-3 weeks.

  • Once the tattooed area is fully healed, you may notice some gaps between the hair strokes or shading. Any adjustments or touch-ups can be made during your follow-up session, which can be scheduled anytime after 6 weeks from your initial appointment.

​

LIPS

  • Immediately after your appointment, your lips will appear to be darker/brighter. Swelling will disappear within 1-2 day. The tattooed area may feel sore and tender, it will disappear within 1-2 days.

  • Wipe your lips every hour with damp cotton rounds on day 1 and re-apply aftercare ointment.

  • KEEP THE TATTOOED AREA CLEAN, wash your hands thoroughly before touching the tattoo.

  • Gently wash the tattooed area 2 times a day to prevent bacterial build-up (use gentle soap such as baby soap if needed) and APPLY A THICK LAYER OF THE AFTECARE CREAM EVERY1-2 HOURS UNTIL HEALED.

  • Refrain from eating spicy foods for the first 3 days and drink through a straw for the first 5 days.

  • You may shower normally, but avoid long showers, hot tubs, soaps or cleansers (use only unscented & gentle soap such as baby soap) on the tattooed area until healed.

  • Avoid activities such as swimming, hot yoga etc until your lips are fully healed.

  • Avoid any kind of make-up until healed.

  • Do not pick at or scratch the scabs. Let the scabs fall off naturally. Picking can cause loss of pigment.

Healing process day by day

​

Day 1-2: "I love my brows!"  Your brows are fresh and sharply defined!

​

Day 3-4: "These are way too dark..?"  Your brows will get darker as they start scabbing, but please don't get scared! They will lighten after healed completely.

​

Day 5-8: "My brows are flaking and scabbing off!"  This is totally normal during the healing process. Please make sure to not pick the scabs or you may lose the pigment.

​

Day 9-10: "My brows have completely fallen off!"  Your brows appear as if they are completely gone during this time, please don't worry they will reappear as the skin heals completely.

​

Day 11-30: "My brows are coming back!"  Your brows may appear to be patchy and still incomplete during this period, but please don't worry. Most of these patches will fill in as the skin heals. If there are still some patches, they will be filled in at your touch up session.
