RIGHT AFTER PROCEDURE

After the procedure, gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until the oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

DAYS 1-7: CLEAN

Clean daily with a damp cotton pad to remove bacteria, build-up of product, oils, and dead skin. Gently clean your eyebrows each morning and night with clean water, you may use a mild cleanser like Cetaphil. Gently To dry, gently pat with a clean dry tissue. Avoid using any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or exfoliants on your brows.

DAYS 3-7: APPLY AFTERCARE OINTMENT/OIL/CREAM

Apply a very thin amount of aftercare ointment/oil with a cotton tip and gently spread it across the treated area. Do not over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing. The ointment/oil should be barely noticeable on the skin. Only aftercare on freshly clean brows.

Proper aftercare is crucial for ensuring the best results and minimizing the risk of complications after getting an eyeliner tattoo.

1. **Keep the Area Clean and Dry**: For the first 24 hours after the procedure, avoid getting the tattooed area wet to allow the pigment to settle properly. After this initial period, gently cleanse the area with a mild, unscented soap and water twice a day to remove any buildup of ointment, debris, or excess pigment.

2. **Apply Healing Ointment**: Applying a thin layer of healing ointment, such as VitaA+D ointment or a specialized tattoo aftercare product, to the tattooed area for the first few days after the procedure. This helps keep the skin moisturized and promotes healing.

3. **Avoid Rubbing or Scrubbing**: Refrain from rubbing or scratching the tattooed area, as this can cause irritation, disrupt the healing process, and potentially remove pigment. Be gentle when cleansing the area and pat it dry with a clean towel or tissue.

4. **Protect from Sun Exposure**: Shield the tattooed area from direct sunlight and UV exposure, as prolonged sun exposure can cause the pigment to fade or change color. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or sunglasses when outdoors, and apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to the area once it has fully healed.

5. **Avoid Makeup and Skincare Products**: Steer clear of applying makeup, skincare products, or other cosmetics to the tattooed area while it is healing. These products may contain ingredients that can irritate the skin or interfere with the healing process.

6. **Do Not Pick or Peel**: Resist the urge to pick, peel, or scratch the tattooed area, as this can lead to scarring, uneven healing, and loss of pigment. Let the scabs or flakes naturally slough off on their own to avoid complications.

7. **Attend Follow-Up Appointments**: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your tattoo artist as recommended to assess the healing progress and touch up any areas that may need additional pigment or adjustments.

8. **Be Patient**: Allow sufficient time for the tattooed area to heal completely, which may take several weeks. Avoid rushing the healing process and follow our aftercare instructions diligently for the best results.
