• If getting Lip Blushing, exfoliate lips and keep them moisturized for a week before your appointment.

ARE YOU PRONE TO COLD SORES?
If you plan to make a Lip Blushing appointment, we require clients with a history of cold sores to consult with their physician first.
Having lips tattooed could trigger a cold sore break out, if not treated with proper medication beforehand.
VALTREX - precribed and recommended to have prior to the appointment.
L-Lysine - vitamin supplement to help boost immune system and aid in healing.
-
•Do not groom your eyebrows for any eyebrow service, since they will be groomed at your appointment.
•Be sure to have a meal before any Cosmetic Tattoo procedure.
•Dress comfortably as you may be lying back for some time.
•Feel free to bring a blanket, headphones, or a snack.
-
• Be prepared for the color to intensify and become darker & sharper immediately after your cosmetic tattoo procedure - especially Days 3-5. But this will soften as your treatment area heals, and can take up to 14 days.
• Excessive itchiness and scabbing may be avoided by following proper aftercare instructions.
• You will begin to see results when the pigment fully stabilizes between 6 to 8 weeks, after treatment.
• New PMU brows will go through several phases during the healing cycle. If it’s your initial appointment, do not expect your eyebrows to look and heal perfectly - they may not look complete until you’ve had a touch-up.
• Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30-50 when exposed to UV ray light. Sun exposure might cause the pigment to fade faster.
•Cosmetic Tattoo procedures typically require multiple sessions. For best results, you may need to return for at least one touchup session if it is your first appointment with us. A touch-up appointment will be scheduled 4-8 weeks after your initial appointment.
