Eyebrows
-
Gently TAP the antibiotic ointment on the eyebrow area a minimum of 3 times a day. The purpose of the ointment is to create a barrier to prevent dirt, dust and water from getting to the treated area. This barrier will keep them clean and aid in preventing infection. This will also keep them moist and keep the itching to a minimum and to ensure good healing. Be sure to keep all make-up, cleansers, soaps, moisturizers away from the area.
-
After the 4th day reduce applying the ointment to twice a day. Be sure to TAP when applying. Morning and night makes the most sense because that is usually when we wash our face. This will continue to protect them from the water.
-
Bacitracin is not the same as Neosporin. DO NOT substitute.
-
Eventually the area will begin to flake. Do not attempt to scratch or pick away any crusts. Early removal of the pigment crusts (or flakes) will result in areas with insufficient color.
-
Some blood spotting is normal.
-
Avoid sun exposure and keep activity to a minimum as to not sweat.
-
The healing time is around a week. Keep in mind that this is an average and that healing times vary.
-
When you are completely healed you can go back to your usual routine.
-
I encourage you to use sunscreen to protect the area from the sun.
-
Call Diane if you have any questions.

If a touch up appointment is needed you must schedule it within a 3 month period. After such time there will be a fee.

Lip liner/ Lip Shading

Be sure to put a thick coat on your lips before you are going to wet your face. This will create a barrier and keep water from reaching the tattooed area.

Although you can eat what ever you want, it is a good idea to be mindful of what you eat. For example, any type of vinaigrette might sting. Be sure that whatever you eat does not scrape against your lips. For example, pizza or spaghetti would not be a good choice, whereas chicken or steak that you can cut up and eat with a fork and pass through your lips would be a better choice.
-
Drink with a straw.

Generally after the lip area is healed you will not see much color on your lips. However, in a week or two you will begin to see some color come in and at the end of 6 weeks you will see full color retention.
