BEFORE & AFTER CARE

Before

 

Avoid sun and tanning one week prior to procedure. Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E or Advil/Ibuprofen 48 hours before procedure. Avoid Fish Oil, Prenatal Vitamins, Nutritional Shakes (Shakeology, etc), “Hair, Skin, Nail” supplements 48 hours prior to procedure. No Alcohol or Coffee 24 hours before procedure.

All of these substances can make you more prone to bleeding , which wont allow you to retain  the pigment.

After

Avoid getting the area wet for at least 7 days. This includes keeping your face dry during a shower.

  • Ointment 2 TIMES DAILY WITH Q-TIP! Before use the balm you should wipe your tattoo with a wet cotton round and pat the area dry. Remember, only a rice-grain size. Less is more! Too much ointment can pull out the pigment and interfere with healing. A light layer must be applied for the 7 days following the procedure;

  • KEEP DRY (BESIDES WASHING) UNTIL COMPLETELY HEALED. AKA NO SCABBING OR FLAKING LEFT! USUALLY 10 DAYS;

  • CLIENTS STILL NEED TO KEEP DRY IN THE SHOWER… STEAMY HOT SHOWERS WILL CAUSE THE PORES TO OPEN AND SCABS SOFTEN, SO TO BE CAUTIOUS, NO EXTRA STEAMY HOT SHOWERS!! AVOID THE WATER ESPECIALLY SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER RUNNING DOWN.. THAT’LL CAUSE COLOR DISCOLORATION!;

  • NO EXCESSIVE SWEATING;

  • NO SAUNA, HOT TUB, POOL, OCEAN, ETC…

  • DO NOT PICK, RUB, OR SCRATCH SCABS! AVOID SLEEPING ON FACE;

  • AVOID DIRECT SUN EXPOSURE FOR 2 WEEKS;

  • NO ANTI AGING OR ACNE PRODUCTS ON THEM EVER!! WILL CAUSE FADING VERY QUICKLY. THIS IS ANYTHING WITH CHEMICAL EXFOLLIANTS SUCH AS RETINOL, GLYCOLIC ACID,SALISYLIC ACID, ETC…
