PRE-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Your pre-care regime is important in the healing of your new eyebrow tattoo.

Read carefully and plan accordingly. Failure to follow pre-care and aftercare may you rendered ineligible for a complimentary touch up. If this is the case, there is a possibility you may be charged up to $300 for your microblading touch up, determined on the day of you appointment. These pre-care guidelines are in place so that we can get the best heal possible.

SKINCARE

If you plan on waxing your threading your brows, have this done at least 48 hours prior of your appointment. Otherwise, there is no need to groom your brows if you do not wish. We can clean up hairs during your appointment in a way that flatters your new shape. A common misconception is that we shave the eyebrows prior to tattooing — this is untrue! We work with your existing hair growth.

Keep your skin moisturized, but avoid all Retinoids four weeks prior to your appointment, even if not used in the brow area. This is because Retinoids travel in the skin, and cause thinner skin and more bleeding, which makes retention harder to achieve. They must be stopped completely!

No tanning or extreme sun exposure for four weeks prior to your appointment.

No Botox, fillers, laser, or peels four weeks prior to your brow appointment.

You may come in with your brows filled in if you wish — but it’s not a requirement! Wearing a small amount of makeup is okay, but please refrain from wearing foundation before coming in for your appointment.

No lash or brow growth serums on the area to be tattooed for four weeks.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS

Avoid caffeine and alcohol 48 hours prior to your appointment. Failing to do so can make you less likely to numb and your procedure will be more painful and you will bleed more. This will make it harder for me to implant the pigment while tattooing and it will also make it harder for you to retain pigment during the healing process. If you are drinking coffee prior to your appointment, you will be required to sign an extra addendum with your paperwork stating that you may be susceptible to a charge of up to $300 on the day of the touch up (depending on how you heal).

Avoid medications that thin your blood (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, blood thinners) for 72 hours before and after your procedure. If you are unsure of your prescriptions, please consult with your doctor prior to booking. Some prescriptions or medical conditions may require a doctor’s release.

If you have been on Accutane any time in the past year, you can not get tattooed. No exceptions.

If you are sick, I will not tattoo you. Please contact me first so we can discuss our options! If you come into the studio and you are sick, you will be denied service and your booking fee will be forfeited. I cannot risk my health and my clients’ health.

If you are on antibiotics of any kind, I cannot tattoo you, even if you’re on your last few days and no longer showing signs of illness. No exceptions. You must be off antibiotics for 2 weeks prior to your tattoo.

If you are pregnant or nursing, I will not tattoo you. No exceptions.

REFERENCES

Please bring any references you may have regarding your desired look. It is important to keep in mind that everyone's face is different — a reference is a great starting point. Looks can vary depending on your natural face and brow shape, along with your hair growth patterns and skin type. You may also find it helpful to show examples of brows that you don’t like — all visual references are welcome!
