Brow Tattoo Precare

To ensure the best results and smooth healing, please follow these steps before your brow tattoo appointment:

Avoid alcohol, caffeine & blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 24–48 hours before your appointment — they increase bleeding and sensitivity.
No Botox or fillers around the brow area for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
Avoid sunburns or excessive sun exposure for at least 1 week pre-treatment. Skin must not be compromised.
No retinol, AHA/BHA acids, or active skincare on or near the brow area for at least 5–7 days prior (they thin the skin).
No waxing, tinting, or plucking the brow area for at least 3–5 days prior — let us shape them at your appointment.
Come with clean, makeup-free skin — especially on the brow area.
Stay hydrated and get a good night’s sleep — calm, well-rested skin = better results.
No intense exercise 24 hours before your appointment (it increases blood flow to the face).

⚠️ If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or on certain medications (like Accutane), please check with us before booking.

Brow Tattoo Aftercare

Clients will develop patchy areas or the appearance of fading during the healing process. This is normal. The true colour of your brows will not come through until 4 weeks. A touch up will be required 6-8 weeks post treatment.

For the first 7 days, it is important that you:

Avoid sweating. Do not perform any duties that cause you to sweat.
Avoid make up on/around the brow area
Avoid face cleansers/ scrubs around the brow area
Avoid water, this includes during your shower.
Do not touch the area, this will risk infections.
Use fresh bedding/a pillow case to avoid infection.

For the next 2 weeks please AVOID:

Sunbathing/ Excessive sun exposure
Light therapies
Facials of any kind.
Creams that contain regeneration factors
Laser treatment over the treated area (i.e. Fraxel Laser, IPL) because they can destroy the pigment and cause burns
Antibiotics and hormonal therapy because they can result in a faster pigment fading
Picking brow scabs

Apply a nourishing lip balm several times daily for 3–5 days before your appointment to keep lips well-hydrated.
Gently exfoliate lips 2–3 days prior using a sugar scrub or soft toothbrush to remove any dry skin.
If you are prone to cold sores, take an antiviral medication (e.g. Aciclovir) 2–3 days before and continue for 3–5 days after your appointment — this is essential, even if you've only had one cold sore in your life.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications or supplements (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 24–48 hours before the procedure.
Avoid any cosmetic treatments (e.g. lip fillers) for at least 4 weeks prior to your appointment.

Lip Blush Tattoo Aftercare

Apply a cold compress (wrapped in tissue) in short intervals if swelling occurs within the first 24 hours.
Keep lips clean and dry — gently blot with a clean tissue when needed. Avoid excess moisture, especially in the first 72 hours.
Use the provided aftercare balm 2–3 times daily for 5–7 days. Apply a thin layer only — do not overuse or substitute with other products.
Avoid spicy, salty, hot, or acidic foods for the first 5–7 days. Use a straw for beverages and avoid touching or wiping lips with unclean hands.
No kissing, swimming, saunas, sweating, or heavy exercise for 7–10 days.
Do not apply makeup or skincare on or around the lips during the healing period.
Do not pick, peel, or scratch the lips as they flake — this will cause pigment loss and uneven healing.
Healing takes 4–6 weeks; colour will soften and settle. A touch-up may be required to perfect the result.
