ELIGIBLE WITH DOCTOR CLEARANCE AND NOTE

If any of the following apply to you, you may be able to receive cosmetic tattoo services. Providing a Doctor’s note is MANDATORY:

• Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can complicate the healing process, with higher risk of infection. It is very important to check in with a Doctor to ensure the condition is stable and under control.

• Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy medications can often weaken the immune system. This make the body more susceptible to infection and more difficult to heal. Once cleared from an oncologist, an appointment can be booked.

• Thyroid conditions: The color of the brows can fade faster when taken with certain thyroid medications.

• Glaucoma: The risk of developing an eye infection can be higher.

• High Blood Pressure: Those with high blood pressure may have slightly greater bleeding than normal. Excessive bleeding could cause the ink not to stick properly and lead to poor healed results.

• If you have any autoimmune diseases, you MUST have a doctor’s note approving the procedure

Whether you are looking to refresh faded brows from another artist, or are interested in correcting a discolored tattoo, a cover up is a great option to bring the brows back to life. Depending on the state of the current brow, transformations can be achieved through Microblading, Nano, or Powder techniques. For the best results, it is recommended for the previous eyebrow tattoos/microblading to be 80%+ faded. An extra fee of $50 may be added to correct very discolored brows. Since every client coming from another artist is treated as new, the full pricing includes both an initial and complimentary procedure. The skin can be a bit unpredictable during the healing process depending on how it was previously tattooed (especially if scarring is present), so the complimentary touch up will help tremendously in creating a beautiful, but natural, cover up. Some brow tattoos must take a different route to correction or can not be reworked due to a few different factors: the brows not being faded enough, if very heavy scarring is present, or the color needing correction is too strong. For these tattoos, Saline Tattoo Removal may be the best way to begin your cover up. It is mandatory when inquiring to send over photos of the brow area for review to help decide the best option for you.

Everyone deserves great brows! Depending on the state of the current brow, transformations can be achieved through Microblading, Nano, or Powder techniques. A brow transformation can remedy any of the following concerns: thinning eyebrows, damaged hair follicles, those wanting a more defined look, hair loss due to age, etc. The important thing to note is that the styling of the tattoo celebrates irregularity and what would naturally occur on the face. The goal is to achieve the most undetectably enhanced appearance, so hair strokes are generally used to create the most seamless transformation.

It is very important to follow the precare instructions. Each guideline is in place to ensure the best results possible. If the precare instructions are ignored, the appointment may be declined due to the skin possibly not being in the right condition to tattoo.

• No alcohol or caffeine 2 days before the procedure.

• No Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, IBUprofen, Coumadin 3 days prior to the appointment. (Tylenol is acceptable)

• No waxing or tinting 3 days before the procedure. 

• No botox 2 weeks prior to the appointment.

• Do not use any skin products that contain glycolic acid, salicylic acid, AHAs, or any chemical peels for 3 weeks.

• Retinol/retinoid users must stop usage for 3 weeks minimum.

• Clients using hair growth serums (Latisse, Grande Lash, etc.) on the brows must stop usage 3 weeks before the procedure. 

• Consult with a Doctor before discontinuing any medication.

Please note:

• Those with Diabetes, Chemotherapy patients, Thyroid disorder patients, those with High Blood Pressure, or any autoimmune diseases MUST provide a mandatory Doctor’s note on the day of the cosmetic tattoo procedure.

• Avoid working out the day of the procedure. 

• Showering the morning of the procedure is suggested as it is not recommended to wash the full face in the shower for 7-14 days. (This will be further explained in more detail on the day of the appointment.)

• Eat a substantial meal before the appointment. 

• Bring in any inspiration photos to be referenced during the appointment.

• Please show up to the appointment with brow makeup on, how it is applied day to day. This gives us an idea of the style of brow that you are comfortable with. 

• If necessary, bring headphones to cancel out any noise to make the procedure as relaxing as possible. 

• Please do not bring any guests to the appointment.

For the best healed results possible, it is very important to follow the aftercare instructions until your tattoo is completely healed.

THINGS TO AVOID:

DAY 1-14

• Do not pick or scratch the new tattoo. Picking at the area may cause scarring, loss of pigment, or infection. 

• Avoid anything that may cause the area to get “soggy”. (sweat, steamy showers, swimming, saunas)  TIP:  Use the provided shower shields to help keep the area dry in the shower.

• Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning.

• No facials, Botox, chemical treatments, chemical exfoliants, retinoids, retinol, or any other product that could speed up the skin’s cell turnover rate. Avoid these treatments until you are completely healed from the 2nd treatment.

• Avoid side sleeping or sleeping face down.  TIP:  Sleep with an airplane neck pillow on to help keep the neck supported throughout the night. Try your best to sleep on your back.

• No makeup or skincare on the area until fully healed.  TIP:  Makeup or skincare on the rest of the face is fine, just be careful when applying/removing. It is best to leave a 1 inch clearance around the area just in case.

• If you have pets at home, be sure to change all pillow cases every 2-3 nights during the healing process. If you don’t have animals, change all pillow cases once as soon as you get home.

AFTERCARE ROUTINE:

DAY 1-14 (COMPLETE ONCE A DAY UNTIL ALL SCABS HAVE FALLEN OFF)

• With clean hands gently wash the tattoo with water and provided Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser. Try to keep the rinse 20 seconds or under.  TIP:  Unscented baby soap is a great alternative.

• Pat dry with provided paper towels immediately after.   TIP:  Do NOT use wash cloths or towels as they can harbor bacteria. 

• Apply a very small layer of provided aftercare with clean hands. (The recommended amount of product to apply is the size equivalent to 1-2 rice grains.)

• FOR NEW CLIENTS: The amount of product in the aftercare kit should be enough for both the initial procedure and touch up procedure.  TIP:  Store contents in a cool dark place in between appointments.

ONCE YOU ARE HEALED:

DAY 14+ (YOU WILL KNOW YOU ARE COMPLETELY HEALED WHEN ALL SCABS HAVE FALLEN OFF)

• Apply sunscreen over the tattoo daily, especially when out in direct sunlight. This will extend the life of your tattoo.

• Use cleansers, light exfoliants, moisturizer, or any other mild skin products over the area.

• Apply makeup to the area to any small gaps.

KEEP IN MIND:

• Everyone’s tattoo will settle-in differently depending on lifestyle, skin type, skin tone, and aftercare. Results are NOT guaranteed due to these factors.

• Signs of infection: Immense swelling, tenderness or pain, redness around the skin, greenish/brown discharge, skin may feel hot around the area. If there are any concerns or symptoms with regards to the procedure site or worry of an infection, immediately call a physician.

• If physician care is required related to the Body Art procedure(s), the client is to notify the Body Art practitioner of the problem and the resolution by a physician or clinic. This information shall be placed in the client’s file.

• FOR NEW CLIENTS: There may be some small gaps or lightened color, which is very normal. At the 4th week is when it is recommended to start thinking about how you'd like to move forward for a touch up, if you choose to.
