cosmetic tattoo preparation
Pre-Procedure Care:
- Waxing or Tinting to the brow area should be done at least 48 hours prior to procedure.
- Please don’t wear heavy makeup to your appointment. This is so the technician can determine your true skin colour and undertones, this is important for us to choose the right colour. You will receive a complimentary make up application at the end of the treatment if requested.
- Don’t tan two weeks prior or have sunburned face
- Do not have any type of facial/peel 2 weeks prior to treatment
- Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol products one month prior to treatment
- Don’t have any Botox or Dermal Filler procedures less than 3 weeks before the tattoo
- Please be aware that having a procedure done while on your menstrual cycle can make you hypersensitive.
In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor colour deposit:
- Do not drink alcohol 24 – 48 hours before your tattoo
- Do not consume coffee before your treatment
- Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood)
- Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior (they are natural blood thinners)

aftercare
Post-Procedure Care:
When receiving your Cosmetic Tattoo, the colour is so lightly deposited under the skin so that the tattoo looks defined like real hair. But this means it takes at least 2 sessions to get them looking perfect. Please book a touch up in 4-6 weeks after your initial tattoo service.
During the first 2 weeks, some hair strokes will stay and some will go, depending on different skin types. It is normal to see a few gaps. Please follow these aftercare instructions. If you do not care for your brows for the 2 weeks while they heal, you will lose more colour and have less retention. Your brows will look darker on the day of your initial appointment and for the next week or two. Once healed, they will fade about 20% to the true colour.
You will receive a complementary soothing after care pack after your initial tattoo appointment.
Aftercare Instructions:
- Please don’t touch your brows unless applying the aftercare balm that we provide you with in your aftercare pack. Apply 2-3 times a day for 5 days with the applicator provided. Start use straight away.
- You may wear makeup straight after your tattoo but do not apply make up over the top of the brows for 5 days. Makeup on top of the tattoo may change the pigment colour.
- Do not cleanse or apply moisturisers over your brow tattoo for 5 days. This may change the pigment colour.
- After 1 week everything can go back to normal and if you are left with visible gaps, you may apply eyebrow makeup.
- It is normal to see gaps after the first session.
- Do not wet your brows for 5 days after your appointment. Water will dilute the colour and your brows will end up too light.
- Your brow tattoo will start flaking after a few days and get itchy. Do not force the flaking off, this will pull colour out and will cause more gaps in your brows.
- If you need to wash your hair, please tilt your head back so the water does not run down your face over the brows. If water does wet the brows, please just softly dab with a tissue, do not wipe.
