Cosmetic Tattoo Aftercare

  • Immediately after and for the next twenty-four hours continue to wipe the eyebrows. They will weep a clear fluid (this is normal). Wipe them firmly to remove the fluid otherwise a crusting or scab will build up which is not what we want

  • Use a smear of your aftercare cream approximately 5 times per day for 5 days unless advised otherwise

  • No soap, water or cleansers or makeup on the treated area for 5 days

  • Avoid excessive sweating for 5 days

  • Pat dry and apply your aftercare cream 5 times a day for 5 days

  • The tattooed area MUST BE KEPT MOIST for successful healing, without scabbing.

  • DO NOT pick the tattooed area as colour can come away whilst bonding. 

  • DO NOT scratch the area as it can also pick out the tattoo, just tap the area if itchy

  • It is unusual to get swelling but if you do, use a cold compress when you get home

 

There can be a little discomfort following your treatment. You will be sent home with an aftercare cream to apply, it is an approved safe and effective antiseptic agent that helps protect against infection. 

DO NOT USE ANY OTHER PRODUCT ON THE TATTOO AREA FOR 5 DAYS OR THE COLOUR CAN CHANGE.

 

Colours will appear darker/brighter and more sharply defined immediately after the procedure. Colours will lighten and soften in three to ten days. It is normal to think you have lost the colour in the brows whilst they are healing, wait four weeks and then judge the result.  This is the reason your adjustments have to wait to be done after 4-6 weeks. It is completely normal to lose up to 80% of the colour on the first session, please don’t worry, that is why we have a touch up.

 

ONGOING CARE FOR MICRO PIGMENTATION / COSMETIC TATTOO 

 

  • Apply Sunscreen over your Cosmetic Tattoo and wear sunglasses

  • Exposure to the sun over time can cause fading and colour change

  • Cover the Tattoo with Vaseline when swimming in salt or chlorinated water to avoid bleaching effect, any chemicals of any kind could interfere with the bonding process

  • Any Glycolic Acid or Peels must be kept completely away from the Tattoo as it seems to lighten the colour with constant continuous use

  • Check moisturisers and cleansers as they can also fade tattoo colour if they contain Vitamins or AHA’s. 

 

YOU CANNOT DONATE BLOOD FOR 6 MONTHS FOLLOWING ANY COSMETIC TATTOO PROCEDURE
