How to Prepare for Your Upcoming Appointment
​
​
Everyone's skin responds differently to these treatments. This information acts as a guideline only.
​
Preparing your appointment:
-
If you normally wax or thread, get it done at least 3 days prior to your procedure and not any later.
-
Avoid chemical peels for at least 4 weeks before your appointment.
-
Discontinue tanning one week prior to appointment.
-
If you have a sunburn or flaking skin- we will have to reschedule. Please, give 24 hours notice to reschedule or you may forfeit your deposit.
-
Do not drink alcohol, take aspirin or ibuprofen within 24 hours before your procedure.
Day of the appointment:
​
-
Come in wearing your everyday makeup and something comfortable to wear.
-
If you don’t wear makeup or didn't get a chance to wear any, bring inspiration photos!
-
We will customize and build your look based on your anatomy and what shape you like.
​
Immediately after appointment:
-
The tattooed area will appear to be darker, bolder in color, and more sharply defined immediately after your appointment. This will continue 3 days or so after the appointment.
-
Swelling and redness is normal and should subside within 48 hours.
-
In some cases, swelling may last around the eye area for up to 3 days but should not prevent you from working or socializing.
-
The treated area may feel a bit like sunburn afterwards but there should be minimal discomfort.
-
Shower or bathe normally, but avoid using any soaps or cleansers on the treated area for the first day as they can be detrimental to the bonding process.
