after care Information
Thank You
Treat your new tattoo like an open wound. Wash hands before touching and use disposables cotton pads and tips on them. Don’t double dip cotton tips into the aftercare cream. Ensure you have clean fresh pillow case on your pillow every night.
​
For quality healing of your fresh work, please follow my general advice, specially the advice given on specific areas.
​
Avoid the following for 7 - 14 days:
​
-
swimming pools
-
spa pools
-
float pods
-
saunas
-
oceans
-
rivers
-
lakes
-
strenuous exercise
-
makeup
Brows
​
​
Now that we’ve tattooed them to perfection, the TOP healed results are counting on you to take high quality care of them. You will notice a clear liquid sitting on skins surface; this is called Lymph. If the lymph builds up on the skin and dries out, this will create a scab. We don’t want scabs! Scabs are bad news to healed results, we want clean thin crust, and I will teach you how to do that.
​
STRAIGHT AFTER
-
30 minutes after your procedure, gently wash your brows with cotton pads soaked in cooled boiled water. Gentle pats against the area with the soaked cotton until clean, then pat dry with clean tissue paper
-
Repeat this gentle wash and dry every hour until you go to bed
​
24 HOURS AFTER
-
Wake up, gentle wash and pat dry
-
Repeat gentle wash dry process every 3 hours until you are ready to go to sleep
48 HOURS AFTER
-
Gentle wash and dry at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
-
Great now they are dry, and skin has closed, we need to start moisturising; before bed, apply thin layer of after care cream I gave you. Layer should be so thin that you cannot see it. Applying too much will create a thick crust.
-
Apply thin layer cream 3 times day until brows healed. Cream should last the entire time, or you have used too much.
​
During healing, brows may start to flake. This is normal. Do not pick, rub or pull these parts, let them dismantle themselves. Brows while lapsing through their 4 healing phases; can appear patchy and uneven. This too is normal, any adjustment needed will be done in touch-up 6 – 8 weeks later.
Eyeliner
Treat your new tattoo like an open wound and do not put unwashed hands or non-disposables on them. Don’t double dip cotton tips into the aftercare cream. Ensure you have clean fresh pillow case on your pillow every night.

Great now they are dry, and skin has closed, you may leave them. Gentle clean everyday, but NO CREAM. The eyelids are super oily and will moisturise the tattoo naturally.
