Additional Suggestions For Eyeliner Tattoo:

Your lash extensions have got to go.

If you are getting an eyeliner tattoo, remove false lashes a few days before the appointment. If the extensions are removed too close to the appointment, there may be glue left behind on the lash line, which could interfere with the pigmentation. 

Leave your contact lenses out.

If you wear contacts you need to take them out before the eyeliner procedure. You should also be prepared not to wear them for a few days after as your eyes may become a little swollen or tender following the application.

Stop using eyelash-enhancing serums (Lash Boost or Matisse).

Avoid lash serums for a minimum of 6 weeks before your permanent eyeliner procedure. The reason is that those types of serums are stimulants. They will make your eyelids too fragile and vascular for cosmetic tattooing. As a result, your eyelids will bleed and bruise.   After your eyeliner procedure is completed, you should wait 4 weeks to start your serum usage again.

Additional Suggestions For Lip Tattoo:

It is recommended to start a course of Lysine tablets 1 month prior if you experience cold sores.

Gently exfoliate your lips and keep well hydrated 1 week before treatment.

Additional Suggestions For Freckle Tattoo:

Please take your nose ring out before the appointment.
