In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor colour deposit:

Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your tattoo.

Do not consume coffee or any caffeine day of procedure.

Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood).

Day 1-2: Relax

For the first 48 hours do not wash the brow area. Make sure to only apply ointment with clean finger tips or clean q-tip 3-5 times a day for normal skin, 1-2 times daily for oily skin. We recommend Aquaphor ointment as it is non-reactive for most clients. Vaseline can be used as an alternative if you are allergic to Aquaphor.

Day 1-3: Absorb

Press area dry with a gauze or paper towel (do not use a tissue) to absorb any excess fluid prior to reapplying ointment. This will help prevent scabbing as much as possible.

Days 1-10: Moisturize

Apply a dime size amount of ointment with a cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay the healing process. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin when applied. Always make sure ointment is applied on dry skin and never wet or damp!

Days 3-7: Wash

Wash daily to remove bacteria, build up of product and oils, and dead skin. (no need to worry, this does not remove the pigment). Gently wash your eyebrows each morning and night with water and an antibacterial soap. With a very light touch, use clean fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean paper towel, gauze or cotton pad. Do not use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or aha), or exfoliants.

Important information for showering:

Once you are able to wet the procedure area limit your showers to 5-8 minutes so that you do not create too much steam. Keep your face/procedure area out of the water while you wash your body, then, at the end of your shower, wash your hair. Your face should only be getting wet at the end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the procedure area. Do your best to avoid soap or water running over your brows other than the initial cleanse.
