EYELINER TATTOO BEFORE CARE:

  • No lash extensions - Must be removed at least 2 days before appointment

  • No lash enhancement serums a month before appointment

  • No retinols, acids, anti-aging or acne products on the upper lid a month before appointment

  • Do not wear contacts during appointment

  • Do not wear eye makeup to appointment

  • No stye or any other sort of eye infection or irritation can be worked on

EYELINER TATTOO AFTER CARE: Cleansing.

  • Eyes will be a bit swollen after your appointment for 24-72 hours. This is totally normal. To relieve swelling, you can ice the area with a soft gel ice pack, and you can take ibuprofen or Benadryl as needed. 

  • EYEBALL SHOULD NOT BE RED! You must seek medical attention immediately if you see signs of bloodshot eyes. This may be an infection, requiring a physician and prescribed medication.

  • The first night, splash your eyes with water and wash off any pigment residue. Pat dry gently with clean tissue or towel. Afterwards dry heal for 7 full days.

  • Do not pick or peel any scabs. 

  • Swelling and redness will decrease within 24-48 hours. 

  • The color may fade approximately 30-50% lighter when the scabs fall off. This is also normal, and we will add additional color at touchup. 

  • The eyeliner may start to look dark and thick. As the skin heals, the scabs will fall off in random pieces and might look patchy. Flaking and crusting on the tattoo area may occur, avoid picking or pulling anything to avoid loss of color. If scabs start to slough off, you can brush lashes with a clean mascara wand to gently remove any buildup. Most color should even out over the course of 2 weeks. 

  • Avoid using chemical exfoliants or heavy creams on the eyes, as it will cause fading.

EYELINER TATTOO AFTERCARE: Things to Avoid.

  • Application of any makeup for 14 days.

  • Scratching or removal of scabs, dry skin/flakiness. This can result in loss of color.

  • Vaseline, Neosporin and any other petroleum-based products.

  • Activities that will cause sweating for 5 days.

  • Swimming pools, hot tubs or other bodies of water for 14 days.
    UV exposure (including tanning booths).

  • Laser light therapy, as it can darken/lighten or distort the pigment.

  • Exfoliants, retinol acids, glycolic acids and alpha hydroxy acids on the area for 30 days after the appointment (causes premature fading).

  • Anti-acne products (e.g. benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, proactive, etc.)

  • Lightening creams such as hydroquinone

  • Bleaches, tints or dyes

  • Massages, facials or skin treatments for 14 days.

EYELINER TATTOO: After you've healed.

  • Eyeliner tattoos normally last 1-3 years depending on lifestyle, skin type and aftercare.

  • Exposure to the sun and tanning beds can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. Once completely healed, always apply sunscreen (50 SPF or greater) on eyeliner area.

  • Avoid using chemical exfoliants or heavy creams on the eyes, as it will cause fading.

  • Do not do laser near your eye area (ipl). Some lasers may change the color of the ink.

  • Additional eye makeup application may still be required post tattoo to achieve your desired look.
