Fluids will leak from the tattoo to form scabs. You do not want these fluids to sit on your tattoo and form scabs. You will want to wipe your tattoo every hour with a wet cotton round and pat the area dry to ensure that no fluids sit and form scabs. When you wipe, you will see that color coming off onto the cotton rounds, this is normal. You may ice the skin if it is feeling tender or swollen after the procedure. Wrap an ice pack or a ziplock of ice in a napkin and place it on the area for as long as you desire. After each hour you wipe, reapply the ointment given.

Immediately After:

The area will feel a bit sore and will look quite intense. There may be some swelling and some minor bruising that only lasts 1-2 days. Applying ice can reduce bruising and swelling.

Do not get any facials, botox, chemical treatments, and microdermabrasions for 4 weeks post appointment date.

Do not eat anything too spicy or with too much citrus.

Be careful when eating not to rub an scabs off and try to drink through a straw.

Do not touch your tattoo with dirty fingers, remember it is an open and healing wound. An infection could possibly ruin the tattoo. Don't get you tattoo too wet for too long. It will make the scabs soggy and easier to fall off prematurely. Remember, you want to keep the scabs on for as long as you can, let them fall off naturally. Moisturize as often as possible with the recommended or provided ointment. Do not sleep on your face to avoid lifting your scab prematurely and make sure you're sleeping on a clean pillow case to avoid infection..

Once the scabs have completely fallen off, you may apply makeup over the area and return back to your normal routine. Note that after the scabs come off your tattoo may have a milky/grey hue to it. This just means that the surface skin is healed but the underneath layers still need time to heal. The complete healing process takes 6 weeks. In 6 weeks, the true and final color of the tattoo will show. It is only after 6 weeks that a touchup to the tattoo can be done. Please not that your tattoo will be softer and not as crsip when healed. Note that results will vary with each individual and are extremely dependent on your skin and how you care for it during healing. It may take more than one session to achieve your desired result.

It is strongly recommended that you don't use any of the following on your tattoo: Benzoyl Peroxide, Hydrogen Peroxide, Glycolic Acid, Apply Cider Vinegar, Vitamin E & C, and Retinol. These products can lighten or fade you tattoo faster. We also recommend wearing SPF and as the UV rays can deteriorate the pigment and lighten or fade the tattoo as well. Saltwater and chlorine can also deteriorate the pigment faster as well. Rinse with water after contact.

**If you are having any laser or facial beauty treatments please inform your technician before procedures that you have a permanent makeup tattoo**

This treatment dos fade naturally after 1-3 years depending on your skin and lifestyle. Touch-ups are necessary to maintain the longevity and overall beauty of your tattoo. If you oily skin, an iron deficiency, or a very strong immune system, youj pigment will not last as long and will not heal as crisp as others.
