EYEBROWS

• No water for a minimum of 2 weeks except nightly wash

• No makeup / skin products on the tattoo for 14 days except for healing balm

• No working out or engaging in activities that would cause sweating

• Use a clean, dark pillowcase to prevent possible ink stains, and try to sleep on your back as much as possible

• No picking, peeling, or scratching 

• Stay out of direct sun exposure. Once healed, use a SPF to help prevent loss of color

LIP BLUSH

• Avoid toothpaste on lips and use gentle dental care during the healing process

• Drink through a straw until the peeling is complete

• Use fork and knife while eating- avoid acidic foods

• To avoid infection, do not kiss until the scabs have completely come off- Safe Rule 10 Days

• No gloss / lipstick be worn during the healing process nor any petroleum products ONLY PRODUCT ON LIP AREA SHOULD BE HEALING BALM.

• Use a clean, dark pillowcase to prevent possible ink stains, and try to sleep on your back as much as possible

• Use medication if necessary for cold sores IF COLD SORE APPEARS TREAT COLD SORE!!!!

• Do not pick or peel your lip skin

• Stay out of direct sun exposure. Once healed, use a chapstick with SPF to help prevent loss of color

• No smoking until fully healed

• No soaps or alpha hydroxy’s until fully healed

BROWS

• Firmly blot brows with tissue every 30 seconds for the first 10 minutes. Continue every 2 minutes for the remaining hour to absorb any lymph fluid that may surface. The better you blot, the better you heal!

LIP BLUSHING

• Use CLEAN damp paper towel to gently dab your lips to remove any lymph fluid every hour for 5 hours after the appointment ONLY for the first day. This is a very important step because if this mostly clear, yellowish fluid is not removed, it can cause scabbing, and more scabbing means less retention of the pigment. Don't be alarmed if a little pigment comes off onto the gauze. That is from the lymph fluid and completely normal.

• If you should experience swelling, an ice pack may be applied using a thin protective barrier such as a paper towel. Icing is most effective in the first 24 hours following the procedure.

  
  

BROWS

• Gently wash brows at the sink with antibacterial dial soap or baby shampoo. Blot dry. Apply balm.

LIP BLUSHING

• If your lips are really sore or swollen, you can take a pain reliever or anti-inflammatory medication like Advil.

BROWS

• Gently wash brows nightly with antibacterial dial. Apply healing balm as needed, a minimum of 3 times a day. Skin should never look excessively dry or flaky. - The only reason to wash in the morning is if you got sweaty during your sleep.

​-Peeling may begin a few days after receiving tattoo. Some guests do not peel. This process can last up to 14 days or longer.

-Expect your brows to look exceptionally light at the two week mark. The pigment will darken as the skin continues to exfoliate (roughly another month).

-You may resume normal activity and makeup application at the 2 week mark.  A touch up is required 8-12 weeks later.

-Continued moisture is advised on healed skin. Daily sunscreen / sun protection (hat) is a must to avoid color change.

• Drink through a straw until the peeling is complete

• Use fork and knife while eating- avoid acidic foods

• To avoid infection, do not kiss until the scabs have completely come off- Safe Rule 10 Days

• No conventional lipstick be worn during the healing process nor any petroleum products

• Gently apply with a clean q-tip a very light layer of aftercare balm several times a day during the healing process to help moisturize. A very thin layer is used to allow the lip skin to breathe.

• Use a clean, dark pillowcase to prevent possible ink stains, and try to sleep on your back as much as possible

• Use medication if necessary for cold sores IF COLD SORE APPEARS TREAT COLD SORE!!!!

• Do not pick or peel your lip skin

• Stay out of direct sun exposure. Once healed, use a chapstick with SPF to help prevent loss of color

• No smoking until fully healed

• No soaps or alpha hydroxy’s until fully healed

Within 21 days, lips go through 3 phases: 

• 1st phase "looks too dark": About 3 days with chapping (day 1-3)

• 2nd phase "looks too light": Frosty and loss of color (days 4-13)

• 3rd phase "looks just right": Blooming (days 14-21)

Just relax and be patient. It's a process!

Day 1: Swelling, tender, heavy thick lipstick with a reddish brick color

Day 2: Slight swelling, reddish and tender with a slightly metallic flavor

Day 3: Less swelling, thicker texture, sore, hot feeling with an orange color effect

Day 4: Exfoliation/Peeling begins causing very chapped lips

Day 5: Very chapped lips but almost finished with the chapping stage

Day 6: A soft, rich color begins to appear

Day 7-13: Lip color disappears and the “frosty” stage begins as a white-ish, lighter haze on the lips

Day 14: Color slowly and gradually develops from within each day until day 21 or about 3 weeks post-procedure

Day 21: Healing is complete. The true color is revealed as you see it. Your lips will remain a bit dry for 1-2 months. Use a good quality lip balm (with SPF of course)!

• • Do not evaluate lip results until 21 days after the procedure

  • The color of the lips you leave the appointment with is not your final color (It can fade up to 40-50%)

  • The final color will be soft and natural

  • Perfecting/follow-up touch-up appointments should take place 6-8 weeks following the initial lip procedure (Dark lip neutralization can take 8+ weeks to fully heal)
