  • If you regularly get your eyebrows shaped, waxed, threaded or tinted, please refrain from doing so within a week of your appointment. If there are any stray hairs that fall outside of our final shape (that we both agreed on), we can remove them.

 

  • Please let your technician know if you have any allergies including Lidocaine or other numbing agents

 

  • Feel free to come in with your brow makeup on so I can see your every day look you prefer. We will then discuss the best shape that complements your feature

 

  • Lip fillers should be done no less than 2 weeks prior to lip blush tattooing​

 

  • Exfoliate your lips gently 24 hours prior to tattoo and keep moisturised

 

  • If you have EVER had a cold sore please take famciclovir before and after your tattoo to help prevent getting cold sores. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to get in contact.

The first few days after your appointment are crucial to how well your lips will heal and look long-term. The healing process usually takes around 10 days, so please note that tattooed lips after a week still need to be properly cared for and treated hygienically. Following these guidelines will help your lips to heal in a way that reduces loss of ink and maximises how long you can rock your beautiful new lip blush before needing a touch-up.

  • Use a natural aftercare balm hourly or as required to avoid drying for around 10 days

  • Avoid spicy food such as chilli and curry the day of and the day following the treatment. The skin is open and it will hurt!

  • No picking! Picking will cause loss of colour. Your flakes will gently fall off by themselves when they are ready to!

  • No lip filler 4 weeks after your touch up treatment.

  • Avoid hot, sweaty exercise and saunas for 10 days. You can lightly exercise, but nothing that will cause overexertion or extreme sweating whatsoever.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for 4 weeks after procedure. Wear a hat when outdoors. Any prolonged sun exposure will cause premature fading.

  • Avoid taking long hot showers or saunas for the first 10 days.

  • Avoid swimming, or any kind until your lips have completely healed!

  • Avoid applying any type of makeup to your lips.
