If you take a prescription blood thinner and would like to have this treatment, please see your physician first to determine if it is safe for you to stop your medication for the preceding 48 hours.

    • No alcohol 24 hours prior to your treatment.
    • For maximum pain control, you should have little to no caffeine the day of your treatment.
    • Women for density, when timing the booking of your appointment, keep in mind that pain tolerance is reduced just before and during, menstruation.
    • Please arrive with a full belly as this helps the numbing stay constant and you more comfortable.

        • Require you to NOT to pick, peel or scratch the artist’s work. Should you have itch, which is common in healing, please take a clean tissue, apply it over the area of concern and apply pressure over top of the tissue. Pressing down on top of the tissue will release the itch and protect your artistry.
        • On the day of completed work, avoid excessive alcohol consumption which will affect the colour and crispness of the artistry.
        • All head work may experience some mild swelling for the first few days. In such a case, you may crush some ice and apply it to the affected area using a clean plastic baggy. Also for those who are able take an Advil or anti-inflammatory, this can give some relief to the more delicate head.
