What to expect

The aftercare protocol of cosmetic tattooing is one of the most important processes required and is your responsibility to adhere to this.

If you do not follow the STRICT aftercare protocol, you can be responsible for about 80% loss of pigment.

Please read the following carefully

Wipe your tattooed area every 30 minutes for 4 hours with the pads provided to you. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!

No hot showers, as wound may re-open causing weeping and scabbing.

Hair may be washed two days post cosmetic tattooing.

NO EXCESSIVE EXERCISE, spa's saunas for at least 5 days

Cream is to be applied 4-6 times daily for 2 consecutive weeks for optimal healing. No picking or rubbing area.

The cosmetic tattoo can change a lot over the 6 weeks. Don't be alarmed, I have placed the ink in correctly, it is just how your body disperses and heals the area. You are still required to have a touch up perfecting visit.

The healing process of cosmetic tattooing can be up to a total of 28 days before you start to see a true indication of how your tattooing will present.

Cosmetic Tattooing MUST be completed in a two-step process.

• Initial Cosmetic Tattoo

• Touch-Up (generally 6-weeks post first session)

Any loss of pigment, patchiness or missing strokes is normal but should be very minimal. If this occurs, it is essential to attend your touch-up appointment to correct this
