Cosmetic Tattoo

Aftercare is extremely important, follow instructions for 7-14 days, or until flaking has stopped.  


With clean hands, use an unscented antimicrobial soap to cleanse in a light/soft motion. *(Dial Gold works great!)

Pat dry with a clean cloth. DO NOT use excessive pressure.

DO NOT rub with anything abrasive.

With clean hands, apply a very small amount of the provided aftercare ointment to the area. (Rice grain size amount, split between both brows is plenty!)

You may cleanse the rest of your face as normal, just avoid your tattoo with anything other than the antimicrobial soap.



AVOID THE FOLLOWING:

DO NOT touch your tattoo unless you are cleansing. (A tattoo is considered a wound and infections are possible.)

 DO NOT use any makeup, creams, SPF, or exfoliants for at least 7 days. 

DO NOT sweat excessively for 7 days.  

DO NOT expose your tattoo to the sun or UV Rays during the healing process.*(Wear a hat if needed.)

Follow all aftercare instructions as directed, however your skin type and what you expose your skin to may have an effect on your healed results that is out of our control. Healed results are not guaranteed.
