There are no implied or written guarantees if you don’t take care of your tattoos.

Follow ALL of these instructions. If you want your permanent makeup to turn out great and last, then realize we are a team. It takes a good artist as well as a good care taker to create beautiful color that lasts.

EYELINER/ EYEBROWS

Expect light to moderate swelling and redness. Use a Ziploc bag with water and ice for no more than 15 minutes off and on. It may be used to minimize swelling only if necessary. Sleep slightly elevated for the first few nights. Massage gently with Tattoo Goo, applying 2-3 times per day for 10days. Massage in gently and blot off any excess, then use a damp cotton ball or tissue and blot some more. Do not get goo in your eyes use sparingly. Mucosal liner may cause eyes to stick together the first few nights do not worry. Wet face and loosen the area with warm water. Re-apply tattoo goo or olive oil sparingly. Do not use a Q-tip applicator. Do not pick at all or at any time during healing, which can take up to two weeks or more in some cases.

Wash your face using only your hands with mild soap or shampoo. Pat dry gently.

ü Very important! Do not leave a film of Goo on the tattooed site. You must massage in gently and blot off gently with a damp pad or tissue. Moist is okay (Do Not Suffocate Skin with an oily or greasy film). The skin or tattooed site must be able to breathe.

Note: Touch ups should be scheduled no sooner than three weeks, the skin takes 4 to 7 days to create

A single layer of skin and we are 5 layers deep. Not later than six weeks.

This is to insure good saturation of color to the areas and to insure the outcome of the final color and design.

The “after care” precautions are as important to the retention of the pigment as the tattooing process.

“During this period, the primary objective is to allow the bonding process to be completely sealed inside the dermis.”

· Do not Let the area dry out.

· Do not use Any Retin-A or Glycolic Acids while healing.

· Do not use Peroxide or Neosporin on ANY areas.

· Do not use Vaseline! (On brows or eyeliner) or NEOSPORIN!

· Do not Scrub, scratch or pick treated areas or you will loose color that may not be repairable.

· Do not Expose area to sun or tanning beds. (Do use sun block to preserve color after initial healing).

· Do not Tweeze or thread around the eyebrow area until after one week following the procedure.

· Do not wax brow area at all; you can loose color if wax gets on tattooed brow area. It does happen.

· Do not Bleach or dye brows for one month following brow procedure.

· Do not Tweeze, Wax or Shave the brow or lip area! The color will fade, when hair base when pulled out. Even grey hairs.

Avoid facials, swimming pools or Jacuzzis for at least 15 days, the skin is open and you may get an infection.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW POST PROCEDURE INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN LOSS OR DISCOLORATION OF PIGMENT.

SPECIFICALLY FOR LIP LINER/ LIP COLOR

Note: Touch ups should be scheduled no sooner than 6 weeks and no later than 8 weeks 2 months is best.

Expect moderate swelling, usually 1-2 days following the procedure. Massage with Carmex (medicated lip balm) for the next 14 days, then. You may switch to gloss or lipstick with an SPF 15 or higher, because the sun tends to fade lip color more quickly. After the procedure, the lips may appear to have too much color. You may add makeup to soften the color. After 3 to 4 days, the color will become lighter as the epidermis sloughs off. It will appear that you have lost all your color: however, when your lips have healed completely, the dermal layer will gradually become darker. Two or 3 applications may be required to achieve the desired results. It is not uncommon to loose up to 40% of the color on the first application. If you are prone to cold sores (herpes virus outbreaks) contact your physician. You will need to get an anti-viral medication. See www.herpes.com for more info.

LipTouchups are to be scheduled after two months following initial procedure.

THE KNOWN POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS FROM MICROPIGMANTATION ARE: REDNESS, PUFFINESS, BRUISING, DRY PATCHES, TENDERNESS; IT IS NORMAL TO LOSE APPROXIMATE 1/3 OF THE COLOR DURING THE HEALING PROCESS. AFTER INITIAL PROCEDURE, THE COLOR MAY BE A SHADE TOO DARK. IT WILL APPEAR SOFTER WHEN COMPLETELY HEALED BECAUSE THE COLOR WILL SLOUGH OFF. IF FOR ANY REASON YOU FIND TATTOO GOO DISAGREEABLE, YOU MAY USE OLIVE OIL (ANY TYPE).

After Care Instructions 909-528-1309

Long-Term After Care

To insure that you get the longest life from your new permanent makeup procedure there are several things that you can do to be instrumental in your after care.

ü Always use sunblock with a minimum of 30 UVA and UVB protection. I use Banana Boat for Babies 70%, it lasts longer when you perspire and wipe at it, and doesn’t burn your eyes.

ü Take a multi vitamin with iron (your body seems to assimilate the products in the permanent makeup colorant) iron oxide is usually one of them.

ü Try not to pull out grey hairs in the brow tattoo area; it pulls out the flesh around the hair follicle then leaving that area with less saturation of color. Thus fading irregularly. Trim them shorter.

ü Shaving the brow area can slough off epidermal layers that are necessary to insure color retention.

ü Any laser procedures done within a 3-inch proximity will fade your permanent makeup, such as brows, liner tails or lips and any and all corrections including scars or camouflage.

ü Facial products containing Alpha Hydroxy (AHA’s) additives and most glycolic products and procedures, Retin-A products usually do lighten your permanent makeup even lightening creams such as hydroquinone at any percentage. Face peels even mild ones will cause your brows and lips to fade prematurely. All forms of micro derma-brasion will fade if done in a close proximity to makeup areas.

There may be some items I have not mentioned but it is safe to say that this is an investment.

If you want it to last you must protect it. Permanent makeup is not like body art; it does fade and is only expected to last 2 to 5 years at best. But typically most permanent makeup procedures should be touched up after a year or two to maintain optimal results.

Note: A Touchup for lips is to be scheduled for two months following initial procedure.

Not sooner, due to possible scarring, the dermis is not healed before that time.

Expect moderate swelling, usually 1-2 days following the procedure. Apply Carmex (medicated lip balm) for the next 14 days, then switch to gloss or lipstick with an SPF 15 or higher, because the sun tends to fade lip color more quickly. After the procedure, the lips may appear to have too much color. You may add make up to soften the color. After 3 to 4 days, the color will become lighter as the epidermis sloughs off. It will appear that you have lost all your color: however, when your lips have healed completely, the dermal layer will gradually become darker. Two or 3 applications may be required to achieve the desired results. It is not uncommon to loose up to 40% of the color on the first application. If you are prone to cold sores (herpes virus outbreaks) contact your physician. You will need to get an anti-viral medication. See www.herpes.com for more info. Abreva cream is sold in pharmacy areas at markets or Costco this is a product that helps. L-lysine is a preventative vitamin sold at Trader Joes and other pharmacy and vitamin stores. Take 5 tabs a day for 4 days prior to lip procedure and 7 days following. The vitamin is water soluble and not toxic. Look up info for yourself. These are suggestions that have worked for me in the past.

THE KNOWN POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS FROM MICROPIGMANTATION ARE: REDNESS, PUFFINESS, BRUISING, DRY PATCHES, TENDERNESS, MIGRATION; IT IS NORMAL TO LOSE APPROXIMATE 1/3 OF THE COLOR DURING THE HEALING PROCESS. AFTER INITIAL PROCEDURE, THE COLOR MAY BE A SHADE TOO DARK; IN SIX DAYS IT WILL APPEAR TOO LIGHT. AFTER 10 DAYS, THE COLOR WILL SHOW MORE. IT WILL APPEAR SOFTER WHEN COMPLETELY HEALED, BECAUSE THE COLOR WILL COME FROM THE DERMAL LAYER OF THE SKIN TO BE SEEN THROUGH EPIDERMAL LAYER OF THE SKIN. All PEOPLE VARY, IF YOU EXPERIENCE SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT IS IN WRITING, LET ME KNOW.

Color may appear sketchy at different stages of healing. Be patient, this is a process, you don’t get immediate results.
