  • If you are getting your lips done and are prone to cold sores you will need to take a cold sore preventive tablet the day of treatment or afterwards.

  • Try not to take fish oil for a few days prior as it thins your blood which can tend to push out the pigment and create bleeding.

  • Take a Panadol prior to coming if you are concerned about pain, numbing prior and during your treatment should create a pain free experience

  • You don't need to wear makeup to your appointment, as most of it will be removed during your treatment.

  • If your brow hair is tidy then it gives the Cosmetic Tattoo Artist more time to focus on your tattoo. A good artist will give you a great shape regardless.

  • Relax! It's not actually as scary as you might think. most people fall asleep during the procedure.

After cosmetic tattoo treatment

  • On around the third day of the treated area it will fade and flake off slightly, revealing your gorgeous colour underneath, this may look super light and will gradually brighten up during the ongoing healing process.

  • Chlorine, saunas steam room, spas, pools is a big NO NO for the following week after treatment as it will alter the colour of your cosmetic tattoo.
