The Healing Journey

Eyebrows

Day 1:  Swipe treated area with provided Q-tips once every hour until bedtime with clean, sanitized hands. Pass gently (no rubbing) to help remove fluids, which can trap dirt. Store Q-tips in the refrigerator for cool relief. No contact with water. No makeup, lotions, or creams above or on the area.

​

Day 2-10: Lightly wash your brows (morning and night)  with warm water and mild, fragrance-free soap with your sanitized fingers (not a cloth). Wash gently in the direction of the hair. It’s a LIGHT swipe, just to help remove excess oil and oozing. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean paper towel.  Apply balm to hydrate the area and help heal. You may wash your hair in the shower. Do not get your eyebrows wet, other than when showering, for a full 10 days. Stay out of lake water, pools, saunas and avoid heavy sweating and sun exposure for 2 weeks. 

​

Throughout the healing process, the tattoo will begin to feel dry and chapped; this is normal. DO NOT peel flaking skin to prevent early removal of pigment. Return to regular skincare routine once wounds close, except for anti-aging or anti-acne products. Once wounds heal, begin applying SPF 35 and higher to brows. 

​

Days 5-7:  Most color will have faded by now. This is normal as most clients experience 20-50% color loss at this point. The color can actually return in time on its own. The color may also go through phases and look cooler, then warmer. We can make adjustments and address all concerns at the touchup session once it has healed between 6-8 weeks.

​

Going forward: Always protect your tattoos with an SPF 35 or higher and avoid direct sun exposure by wearing baseball hats and large sunglasses.

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. It is normal for there to be color/ink residue within the wrap.

• After the wrap has been removed, thoroughly wash your tattoo with the ink soap I have provided for you (or antibacterial soap) with warm water and pat dry gently with a clean paper towel.. Continue to wash the tattoo with soap a couple of times per day for the first few days.

• Apply a thin layer of a 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 2 weeks. 

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