AFTER CARE
WHEN YOU LEAVE...

1. APPLY ICE PACK as soon as possible to
reduce swelling and help  preserve the
color. A bag of frozen peas covered with
paper towels works great. But never apply
ice longer than 10-15 minutes, and only
once per hour. Prolonged exposure to ice
could result in tissue damage.

2. TRY NOT TO SMOKE for at least 2-3 days
if possible, but the longer - the better.
Especially if you have had a lip procedure!

3. CLEANSE with a mild antibacterial
cleanser using
cool water. Once in the
morning. Once at night. ...and cleanse
again, if area becomes contaminated!  

REPEAT:  When Washing or Showering...
do not allow tattooed area to remain in
contact with water for longer than what is
necessary to cleanse and rinse off.  
Allowing the areas to become water logged
can have a negative affect the final result.
Make sure the cleanser does not have any
exfoliants or skin lighteners.

4. APPLY OINTMENT Sparingly! Once
clean, gently pat dry with a "clean paper
towel". Be very careful on the tattooed area
until it's had time to dry. Then apply a paper
thin layer of ointment. .  This will help
prevent bacteria from settling into the
wound and will be thin enough to allow the
skin to breath and heal well.  
Use
AQUAPHOR.
(Aquaphor is available at any
grocery store and is one of the best
ointments you can use.) This will also help
reduce the any discomfort caused by
tugging against the skin. Keep areas
protected with ointment 24/7 for at least a
week. Longer if additional healing time is
required.

5. HANDS OFF! Besides introducing
bacteria into the open area which could
cause an infection, you should never
attempt to pick, pull, roll or remove dead
skin in any way.  Let it heal off naturally to
preserve maximum color. If necessary, you
can use "sterilized" cuticle clippers to gently
remove any dead skin that may be
bothering you.. but do so carefully as not to
tug on live tissue. This sort of thing can
cause the ink to fleck off; resulting in a
splotchy tattoo after the redness has gone
down.

6. No dirty work. Lawn mowing and the like
can wait until outer healing is complete,
which normally occurs within 4-5 days.

7. WAIT... and watch. Each day will be
different. hen wait about a week for
beautiful results to emerge!
SO NOW YOU'RE ALL DONE...  YIKES!
Your face is red, swollen, very bright and you're
probably a bit nervous over what you've done...
Relax... These are all very normal reactions.

Everything always look much darker and much
more sharply defined than it will after healing is
complete. So for now, just relax, and read a good
book.  
Soon, the redness and swelling will
subside and within a week the dark makeup
gives way to soft natural beauty!  

Pretty soon, you will be reminded why you wanted
permanent makeup in the first place... and it will
all be worth the wait!

But for now, you have to learn about aftercare --
that is, of course, if you intend on keeping it
looking beautiful. So read on for what to do...

SWELLING...

  • Very insignificant
    swelling occurs with
    permanent eyebrows.
  • Mild to moderate
    swelling occurs with
    permanent eyeliner.
  • Lips swell more than
    other procedures.

  • Arnica Montana and
    Bromelain may
    reduce swelling.
TIPS FOR ULTIMATE RESULTS...
As you heal, keep contact with WATER
and SUN to an absolute minimum
during the healing period of 7 days.

Short
showers using cool to luke warm
water is a good idea. You want to keep
the area clean and you will need to rinse
away any residue that forms after the
procedure, but take care not to expose to
prolonged exposure to water. Hot
steamy baths and swimming -
especially in chlorinated pools -- is a
very bad idea.  

Use sunscreen -- DAILY once the area
is healed. There are many great choices
now for facial use. Lip balms with
natural emollients and sunscreen in
them is recommended.
 

Also, be sure to check your tattoo for
infection.
Even with the precautions we
have taken, it is still important to make
sure your skin is healing properly. In
many cases, if after a few days, the
sensitivity of the tattoo has gotten worse
and not better, or the skin remains
tender to the touch, it might be a good
idea to go have a doctor look at it for you.

All in all, taking care of your tattoo isn't
much to ask. After spending all that
time and money on the design, taking
care of it is really the least you can do
for yourself.
