Tattoo aftercare...

1 / Immediate after care
  • Avoid getting your brows wet for the first 7 days.

  • Do not pick or scratch at any scabbing or flaking.

  • For 2 days post-treatment, strictly avoid: Alcohol, caffeine (including energy drinks), fish oil, vitamin E, and pain relief medication (unless prescribed) as they can thin the blood and hinder healing

2 / Avoid for the Following for 7–10 Days
  • Sweating or activities that raise body temperature (e.g., exercise, sauna, hot showers).

  • Water or steam on the brows—including showers. If you don’t have a detachable showerhead, take a lukewarm bath or use a hairdresser for washing/styling.

  • Makeup and skincare on or near the brow area. Use baby wipes for gentle cleansing and avoid applying makeup on your forehead.

  • Touching or moving the brows. Repetitive brow movement (like raising them) can push pigment out.

3 / What to expept while your healing
  • Right after your treatment, your brows will appear 2–3 times darker, bolder, and more defined. This is normal and due to pigment + drying skin.

  • Over the first week, brows may look “blocky” or blurred—don’t worry, this is temporary.

  • Scabbing, flaking, and itching are all part of the process. Please don’t touch, pick or scratch.

  • Some strokes may fade, disappear, or appear patchy during healing. The true color will settle between 4–6 weeks.

  • Your brows will likely look very faint around Week 2, then slowly reappear with a more natural, soft finish.
