• Refrain from using any “skin thinning” / exfoliating ingredients: Retinol, Retin-A, Vitamin A (ingestible as well), Glycolic acids, Lactic acids, Salicylic acid, AHAs/BHAs, ANY exfoliation (essentially anything that says “anti-aging” “resurfacing”, etc) THREE weeks prior to your appointment. If you have any questions about your skincare ingredients, please feel free to email me directly- I would be more that happy to assist. If you are using any of those ingredients, you WILL be rescheduled.

• Any waxing or tinting should be done at least one week before your service. I can absolutely do shaping at your initial session.

• Cosmetic botox or fillers should be done TWO weeks prior to the appointment.

• DO NOT consume alcohol, or caffeine 24 hours before appointment.

• Do NOT take any blood thinners/pain relievers (aspirin, ibuprofen, Niacin, Fish Oil, 48 hours before your procedure, this will cause excess bleeding and may affect your healed results). Please consult a doctor before stopping prescription blood thinners. I will turn you away and reschedule if you have taken any blood thinners within in 48 hours.

• Clients must be off antibiotics and steroids two weeks prior to, and after tattooing.

• I will NOT be able to tattoo over rashes, abrasions, rosacea moles, acne, etc. If there is active acne in the brow area, we will have to reschedule.

• Client who are pregnant or nursing.

• Clients undergoing chemotherapy in present time. Must be off chemotherapy for 6 months prior to cosmetic tattooing.

• Clients who have used Accutane in the past 12 months.

• Clients who are prone to Keloids/Hypertrophic scarring.

• Clients who have active acne, rashes, rosacea, bruises, or skin irritation in the brow/lip/eye area depending on what area we are tattooing.

• Diabetes (ANY TYPE)

• Hemophilia

• Any recent cancer/chemotherapy

• Thyroid issues/concerns

• Auto Immune Diseases

• Eczema (from neck up)

• Psoriasis (from neck up)

• Dermatitis (from neck up)

• Epilepsy/Seizures

If you do not provide a doctor's note, you will be turned away. I would suggest receiving doctor's clearance before booking your session if you have any of the above.

• Scar Tissue - Scar tissue normally does not hold pigment. We can absolutely tattoo around/over the scar tissue, but keep in mind, the area may remain lighter in color than the rest of the brow.

• Raised Moles in the Brow Area - I cannot tattoo over raised moles. That may cause gaps in PMU.

• Frequent Tanning/Sun damaged skin: Tanning/Sun damage can change the color of the PMU over time.

• Cigarette Smoking: Smoking can change the color of the PMU over time.

• Coarse Brow hair - Especially when booking a Microblading appointment, the microblading strokes may be much thinner than your natural hair which will cause gaps in the finished brow. I will advise against Microblading with this hair type.

• If you have a history of cold sores you'll need to start taking an anti-viral prescription (Valacyclovir, Denavir (penciclovir), Valtrex or acyclovir (Zovirax)), at least a week BEFORE your service. Cold sore outbreaks are often triggered by stress or trauma to the lips and skin. Therefore if you are a carrier, lip blush will likely cause an outbreak if you do not take an anti-viral medication prior. Your appointment WILL be cancelled if you have had a history of cold sores and do not follow this instruction. This is because cold sores will effect the healing/results and can even lead to scarring. So please do not skip this step, you will be happy you didn't and have better results.

• Apply lip balm multiple times a day three days before your appointment to ensure your lips are moisturized for your session.

• Exfoliate lips 1-2 times a day three days before your appointment to ensure your lips are smooth for your session. You can use sugar and honey to exfoliate.

• If you wear contacts - you cannot wear them during the service. No contacts for 24 hours after service.

• No Lash Extensions.

• If you think you have a Stye on or around your eyelid - you must reschedule your appointment.

• Lash lift and tint procedure must be done one week or more prior to your appointment.

• No over the counter lash serums for FOUR weeks before & after.

• If you are on a stronger lash serum such as Latisse you must discontinue use for 2 months before and after the procedure - this serum can change the integrity of the skin causing migration. This is EXTREMELY important.
