The Healing Journey

Eyebrows

​​DAY 1

• Practice dry healing by swiping eyebrows once an hour with cotton swabs dipped in distilled water until bedtime. This will remove any pollen/dust in the area. Store cotton swabs in the fridge for cool relief. Avoid skincare and makeup in the area.

DAY 2-10

• You may get your eyebrows wet in the shower only. Use soap given to you in the foam dispenser to wash your eyebrows twice a day. Apply ointment as needed to help heal your brows and assist in any itching that may occur during healing. Avoid swimming in pools, lakes, saunas and heavy sweating until fully healed. You will experience 20-50% color loss while healing, all concerns can be addressed at the touchup session.

MOVING FORWARD:

• Wear baseball hats, large sunglasses and use sunscreen to protect your tattoos as the sun will cause fading.

• Never apply anti-aging or anti-acne products to the area.

Eyeliner

• Use cotton rounds with micellar water to wipe eyes morning and night for 1 week.

• Apply ointment twice a day for a minimum of 2 weeks, maximum 6 weeks.

• Applying ointment just before bed will help decrease “crusty” feeling  in the morning.

• Mascara is ok during healing as long as the bottle is brand new.

• Please don’t put your face in lakes/pools, heavy sweating and excessive heat for 2 weeks. 

Lip Blush

• Use cotton rounds with water to wipe lips after eating for 1 week.

• Apply ointment consistently for 1-2 weeks until peeling stops to hydrate and hold onto pigment.

• Peeling is normal, ointment will help.

• Please don’t put your face in lakes/pools, heavy sweating and excessive heat for 2 weeks.

Fine Line Tattoos

• Leave your protective wrap on for a minimum of 24 hours, maximum 3 days. You may shower with the wrap on as it is waterproof. 

• After the wrap has been removed, thoroughly wash your tattoo with antibacterial soap with warm water and pat dry gently twice a day for a few days.

• Apply  healing balm (Aquaphor) several times throughout the first two weeks your tattoo is exposed to prevent scabbing and ink fallout. 

• Do not pick scabs or flakes. Allow them to come off naturally. 

• Use lotion as needed or when the tattoo feels dry.. 

• No swimming in lakes/pools, heavy sweating and excessive heat for 10 days. 

• Always apply sunscreen on your tattoo anytime you are in the sun.
