As this procedure is a cosmetic tattoo and involves piercing of the skin it is important to ensure that you are able to have the procedure done and that you get the results you want

​

There are MEDICAL/HEATH and SKIN TYPE/LIFESTYLE issues to check

It's really important to follow all the pre treatment advice given to you before your procedure.  

​

The advice is given both for your safety and so that you can achieve the best results possible for your cosmetic tattoo

​

Full details are sent out to you prior to your treatment but as a guide some of the main points are as follows:

​

Six months before

No more Botox or filler

​

Four weeks before 

No more Chemical peels (Glycolic, Pumpkin, Alpha Hydroxy, Salicylic Acid)

No more Laser Facials, both ablative and non-ablative, including Fraxel, Co2, and IPL laser treatments

I prefer you to let your brows grow in as much as possible so if possible please don't have them waxed/tweezed for as long as possible 

​

Two weeks before 

No more brow tinting (or lash tinting if having lash enhancement/eyeliner)

Remove lash extensions for lash enhancement/eyeliner

No more sunbeds

Stop using Retinol

​

Two days before

Ensure you are feeling well and are not on antibiotics, contact me as soon as possible to reschedule if this is not the case

Do not consume alcohol or blood thinning painkillers (aspirin, ibuprofen, Niacin) fish oil or primrose oil 48 hours before your procedure to avoid excess bleeding

​

On the day of your appointment

In addition to the advice for 48 hours before

No caffeine 

Please come prepared to be as relaxed as possible for the duration of your cosmetic tattoo.

• Eat a light snack 20 to 30 minutes before arriving

• Wear relaxed clothing that you can sit and lie down in for an extended period of time

• Bring something to listen to (podcast/audiobook) if you like

• Bring a blanket and/or slippers if you feel the cold as you will be lying down for a while and I cannot provide one for hygiene reasons 

​

At your appointment

​

In addition to giving you the gorgeous results you want which really complement your natural beauty and express your best self, I want you to enjoy your experience with me and know that I am here for you in the long term.

 

So I can plan your treatment, I first of all carry out an in-depth consultation with you where we discuss your expectations of the treatment, your lifestyle, medical information and other factors which can affect your treatment such as other cosmetic procedures and products you use to ensure that the procedure is appropriate for you

 

I will then carry out skin type and colouring assessments so I know that I can offer you the best possible service and give you the best advice regarding short- and long-term care of your treatment site

Whichever area we are working on, I carefully assess your skin and custom blend your perfect colours using only the best quality hypoallergenic vegan pigments and decide the best method to your desired results.

​

I then design your cosmetic tattoo in pencil and only when we are both 100% happy will your procedure commence. 

I always allow up to an hour for the design process

​

Your Permanent Cosmetics are then applied gently by one of my top of the range machines using sterile single use needles.  Hygiene and safety are absolutely paramount to me which is evident when you visit my studio and I will never compromise my exceptionally high standards.

​

After your procedure is complete you will be given full aftercare advice and instructions to ensure that your new cosmetic tattoo heals in the best possible way and your follow up retouch appointment will be scheduled.

​

Immediately after your appointment your treatment site will look darker than how it will heal, then over the next few days it may flake or peel.  It is crucial that you follow the aftercare advice to ensure your Permanent Cosmetics heal properly.  It may look patchy during the healing process, this is totally normal.

​

You can contact me anytime after any of your procedures as I want you to feel as confident as I do that you will love your healed result

Permanent Cosmetics/Cosmetic Tattooing Policy

You must be over 18, ID may be required

 

You must have a skin test (with no reaction) at least 48 hours prior to your first appointment, this will either be carried out at the studio (at your free consultation) or posted to you to carry out yourself

Your review/retouch appointment is free and is included with all ‘new’ treatment prices

 

You must attend this appointment to be eligible for colour refresh prices, failure to attend this appointment may result in you being charged the full treatment price at your next appointment

 

It is not always necessary to carry out any further treatment at this appointment and to do so where it is not necessary carries no benefit and creates unnecessary skin trauma, you will be eligible for colour refresh prices if you attend this appointment even if no further work is required

​

Review/retouch appointments must be taken within 12 weeks of initial appointment

 

Colour refresh appointments consist of ONE appointment only

 

To minimise risk of infection please attend your appointment wearing clothes that have only been worn in a clean environment

This advice comes after a small number of incidences in the industry (not my clients) of infection in clients who attended appointments wearing their work uniform after being in a hospital/care/other environment where contact with bacteria etc is higher than in a general home environment
