.What should I do before my treatment?
- Please gently exfoliate your lips a few days prior to your appointment
- Please avoid any blood thinners 24-48 hours prior to your appointment. (Fish oil, vitamin E, Aspirin) Blood thinners can affect the result of your cosmetic tattoo. Please consult your Doctor before ceasing blood thinning medication. (Panadol is fine to take if you have a headache)
- Please avoid alcohol & caffeine 24-48 hours prior to your appointment. (Coffee, energy drinks)
- Avoid the sun. If you arrive with sunburn or freshly tanned skin you will need to reschedule and will forfeit your deposit. As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn/tan, it will take the pigment with it.
- A gentle request to please not wear perfume to your appointment as I am allergic. Thank you in advance 🤍
- Please avoid using Retinoids, Tretinoin, glycolic acid, AHA’s, Vitamin C and other medicated creams such as pigmentation treatments on or near the area to be tattooed for minimum 2 weeks prior to your appointment.

- Brow Clients - Wash your hair the night before! You won’t be able to get your treated area wet for up to 2 weeks during healing
