SPECIALIZED CARE

BROWS

For the first 48 hrs you will blot frequently with a dry cotton round, absorbing the excess plasma (healing liquid) which the body forms when injured. By blotting the excess liquid there is a reduction of scabbing during the healing process, pigment remains crisper for longer. After the 48 hrs of blotting, you will advance to using the tattoo balm which will moisten the treated area keeping it comfortable and nourished. Two visits are mandatory to complete the effect and in some cases a third is necessary. A third visit is available to you for a extra charge of $100. within 6-8 weeks from last touch up.

EYELINER

For the first 24 hrs apply the antibacterial ointment provided, and the following days the tattoo balm. Please, no mascara or eye shadow for the first 21 days as it may affect the work.

LIPS
