Eyeliner Tattoo

Before Procedure

  • To ensure stable blood sugar levels during the procedure, it is recommended to eat something before your appointment.
  • Additionally, it is advised to avoid wearing makeup, especially around the eye area.
  • Alcohol should be avoided 24 hours prior to the appointment, as it can thin the blood and make the skin hypersensitive, leading to easy bleeding or bruising.
  • Blood thinning medications such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and fish oil tablets should be avoided 72 hours before the appointment, and it is advisable to consult a doctor if this is a concern.
  • Eyelash extensions should be removed at least 3 days prior to the procedure. If using eyelash growth serums like Latisse, it is recommended to discontinue their use for at least 3-6 months before the treatment due to increased circulation in the area, which can make the skin hypersensitive and prone to bleeding.
  • Contact lenses need to be removed for this procedure and should not be replaced for a minimum of two hours after. Consequently, it is advised to bring a pair of glasses for the drive home or arrange transport.

After Procedure

After the procedure, there may be swelling and bruising, which is totally normal. You can apply an icepack to help soothe the area. However, do not apply aftercare cream until the following morning, as the wound needs to close naturally first. After that, apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment every morning and evening for a period of 7 days.

Important reminders:

  • Avoid wearing contact lenses for at least 2 hours after the treatment.
  • Keep your tattoo as dry as possible for the first 7 days.
  • Do not use mascara for the first 7 days. When you resume using mascara, purchase a new one.
  • Avoid hot, sweaty exercise for the first 7 days.
  • Avoid long, hot showers for the first 7 days.
  • Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 7 days.
  • Avoid face-down swimming and hot tubs for the first 14 days.
  • Wait at least 3-4 weeks before applying eyelash extensions.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 4 weeks.
  • Do not rub, pick, or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin exfoliate away naturally.
