- ALL FACIAL PRODUCTS CONTAINING RETINOIDS/RETINOL, RETIN-A/TRETINOIN, GLYCOLIC/LACTIC ACIDS (AHA ACIDS) MUST BE DISCONTINUED FOR A MINIMUM OF 14 DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT.
These are exfoliating acids that are commonly found in anti-aging products that thin the skin, making it not suitable for tattooing.
- DO NOT CONSUME ALCOHOL OR TAKE ANY BLOOD THINNERS WITHIN 48HRS.
- Aspirin, Ibuprofen, or Niacin will cause excess bleeding and may affect your healed results.
- DISCONTINUE FISH OIL/TUMERIC SUPPLEMENTS WITHIN 14 DAYS.
These supplements can also thin the blood, causing undesirable results.
- NO ANTIBIOTICS/STEROIDS FOR 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO APPOINTMENT.
- NO TANNING/SUNBURN.
Sunburned skin is wounded skin, not suitable for tattooing.
- ANY BOTOX/FILLER INJECTIONS SHOULD BE DONE AT LEAST TWO WEEKS PRIOR/AFTER.
Injections have their own set of aftercare instructions. Don't disturb it.
- NO FACIAL TREATMENTS, SURGERIES, CHEMICAL PEELS, EXFOLIANTS, LASER/ELECTROLYSIS, ETC. WITHIN 14 DAYS.
The skin needs time to recover after aggressive/invasive procedures prior to being tattooed.
- SCARS/MOLES WITHIN AREA.
Healed pigment over scars is not guaranteed. Moles cannot be tattooed, but will be avoided!
- ON THE DAY OF YOUR PROCEDURE, DO NOT EXERCISE OR CONSUME CAFFEINE.
Exercising increases your blood pressure/blood flow and caffeine can thin your blood, causing undesirable results.
