Aftercare Post your Cosmetic Tattoo
by Lesley Nikijuluw
Please adhere to Aftercare Instructions. If you have any concerns or queries SMS a brief message &
I will respond as soon as possible.
Before the procedure I apply topical anaesthetic to numb the area. The first pass may pinch. Once
the skin is broken , I then apply lidocaine anaesthetic during the process, making it more
comfortable. Once you're comfortable, I'm ready to work some magic.
The Eyebrows
If you experience swelling & hotness more than others, use a clean cold press around treated area
for 10 minutes at a time until swelling subsides.
1-7days - Dab *Betpanthen "gently & sparingly" over treated area morning & night before bed.
Protect from bacteria & infection.
•
do NOT scratch, rub or pick.
•
do NOT allow direct sunlight & burn. Use a wide brim hat.
•
do NOT go in surf, chlorine & avoid excessive sweating (sauna, running a lazy 10km)
Eye Enhancements
The eye treatments is a very delicate & precious part of our face. Eyes are susceptible to swelling
( which normally subsides in a few days) so you may not want to have any glamour events to attend
the day after an eyeliner tattoo). Clean cold press on eyes (NOT DIRECTLY ON TATTOOED
AREA) will help subside swelling & that " windburn " after feeling.
1-7days -Dab * Betpanthen "gently & sparingly" over treated area morning & night before bed.
Protect from bacteria & infection.

•
do NOT wear mascara/cosmetics containing "oils" this can cause the pigment to migrate.

The Lips
It is normal to get much swelling from the lip tattoos as it is such a sensitive area with lots of nerve
endings for nice sensations such as kissing, NOT lip tattoos. PROIR TO LIP TATTOO. It is required
you book at your dentist/registered nurse for a dental block PRIOR to LIP appointments. This
strong anaesthetic will numb your whole mouth so I may work without fear of inflicting pain.
If you are prone to cold sore break outs. You can buy FAMVIR from chemist to help prevent cold
sores. It is 3pills to take the day before, on the day & the day after the tattoo. And ZOVIRAX can
be purchased from chemist/supermarket ( as your after care cream).
1-7days - Dab * Betpanthen "gently & sparingly" over treated area morning & night before bed.
And 3-4times throughout the day. Keep moist. Protect from bacteria & infection.

it is NORMAL for swelling to be there 24hrs after( you going to wish the swelling was
permanent)
•
it is NORMAL for colour to fade/lighten while it is healing ( colour may appear to have
fallen out) but true colour immerges 4-6weeks after, once the skin has fully healed. Please
wait 4-6weeks before deciding you need a touch up.
