prior cosmetic tattoo treatment

• Don't drink the night before, your pain threshold will be low if you are hungover. It’s not fun having your brows tattooed with a pounding headache.

• Wash your hair that morning - because you can't get your healing tattoo wet you will need to avoid washing your hair too soon.

• If you are getting your lips done and are prone to cold sores you will need to take a cold sore preventive treatment for a week prior, or afterwards.

• Try not to take fish oil for a few days prior as it thins your blood which can tend to push out the pigment

• Take a panadol prior to coming if you are concerned about pain.

• You don't need to wear makeup to your appointment, as it will be removed at the site of the treatment

• if your brow hair is tidy then it gives the Cosmetic Tattoo Artist more time to focus on your tattoo. A good artist will give you a good shape regardless

• Relax! It's not actually as scary as you might think. I even have people fall asleep during the procedure

during cosmetic tattoo treatment

• numbing cream is used before hand and during to ensure any pain is as minimal as possible but remember this is a tattoo and areas can be sensitive depending on the individuals pain tolerance!

• during your treatment especially lips and eyeliner you will experience swollen lips and eyelids! but don’t worry as swelling will go down afterwards, ice will be your best friend!

• cooperate with the artist and stay still, vocalise any changes or alterations before your treatment is finished

after cosmetic tattoo treatment

your cosmetic tattoo will be very bright and pigmented the first couple of days, don’t freak out!

on around the third day of the treated area it will fade and flake off revealing your gorgeous colour underneath, this may look super light and will gradually brighten up during the ongoing healing process

chlorine, saunas steam room, spas, pools is a big NO NO for the following week after treatment as it will take the colour right out!

avoid excess sweating, the gym and direct uv exposure until tattoo has flaked off, light workouts are okay on the third day

DO NOT PICK, don’t pick your scabs and peel them off as it will end up patchy

TOUCH UPS ARE A MUST, you really do need a touch up especially with lips to add any alterations colour changes ect, pigment needs to be put back into the skin to ensure it lasts as long as possible
