Before & After Care Instructions
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Avoid alcohol, blood thinners (aspirin/ibuprofen), and fish oil 24-48 hours before. Do not tan, sunburn, or use retinol/acids on the treatment area for 2 weeks prior. Arrive with clean skin — no makeup on the treatment area. Stay hydrated and eat a full meal before your appointment. 18+ ONLY. Valid government-issued ID required at check-in.
— PERMANENT MAKEUP & BROWS
Keep the area dry for the first 7-10 days. Do not pick, peel, or scratch the treated area. Avoid sweating heavily, swimming, saunas, or steam for 2 weeks. Apply aftercare ointment as directed — a thin layer only. Avoid direct sun exposure — always wear SPF once healed. Results may appear lighter after peeling; this is normal. A touch-up appointment is recommended 6-8 weeks after your initial session.
AFTER CARE — SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION (SMP)
Keep scalp dry for 4 days after each session. Avoid sweating, swimming, and direct sun exposure for 5 days. Do not shave the treated area for 10 days after each session. Apply SPF 50 to the scalp when outdoors once healed. Avoid picking or scratching any scabbing. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
AFTER CARE — FINE LINE TATTOO
Keep the area clean and moisturized with unscented lotion. Avoid soaking in water (pools, baths, ocean) for 2-3 weeks. Do not scratch or peel any flaking skin. Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning during healing. Wear loose clothing over tattooed areas. Touch-ups may be included or available after healing is complete.
AFTER CARE — PIERCING
Clean twice daily with sterile saline solution. Do not rotate, twist, or remove jewelry during healing. Avoid touching with unwashed hands. Keep hair products, makeup, and lotions away from the piercing. Healing time varies: ear lobes 6-8 weeks, cartilage 6-12 months, nose/navel 6-12 months. Return to studio if you notice excessive redness, swelling, or discharge.
