Pre-Care & Aftercare

Before Your Appointment / Pre-Care

• The treatment area must be fully healed from surgery or reconstruction before tattooing. Medical clearance may be required depending on your medical history, reconstruction, healing, or recent treatment.

• Please disclose all relevant medical conditions, medications, allergies, recent surgeries, history of poor wound healing or scarring, and previous or upcoming breast procedures.

• Avoid sunburn, tanning, or significant sun exposure to the treatment area before your appointment.

• Arrive with the treatment area clean and free of lotions, oils, creams, self-tanner, or other products.

• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area and minimizes rubbing afterward.

• Follow any medication instructions provided by your physician. Do not discontinue prescribed medication without approval from the prescribing healthcare provider.

Aftercare

• Keep the same Tegaderm in place for 6 days after your procedure.

• You may shower with the Tegaderm on.

• Do not submerge the treated area in water for 14 days. This includes baths, pools, oceans, lakes, hot tubs, and similar activities.

• Wait at least 3–4 days before strenuous physical activity or activities that cause excessive sweating.

Day 6

• In the shower, gently remove the Tegaderm.

• Using clean fingertips, gently wash the treated area with mild soap and water. Do not scrub. Examples of gentle soaps include Dial, Dove, or Cetaphil.

• After showering, leave the treated area uncovered and allow it to air dry for approximately 1 hour.

• Once dry, you may text a clear photo of the treated area to (360) 468-5101 so I can evaluate your initial healing.

• Once the tattoo has fully healed, I can evaluate pigment retention and determine whether a touch-up is recommended at approximately 6–8 weeks.

• If you prefer not to send a photo, you are welcome to schedule an in-person or virtual follow-up appointment.

When to Seek Medical Care

Healing & Retouch

• Fresh brows are not the final healed result. Allow your brows to fully heal before evaluating the color, shape, or pigment retention.

• Healing and pigment retention vary from person to person, and specific results cannot be guaranteed.

• Natural facial features are not perfectly symmetrical. The goal is improved balance and symmetry, not perfectly identical brows.

• A Retouch Appointment is typically recommended approximately 5–8 weeks after your Initial Appointmentto evaluate the healed result and make appropriate refinements.

• In rare cases, an additional touch-up may be appropriate after the Retouch Appointment has fully healed.
