ARE YOU A GOOD FIT?

Before we get into pre & post care for your brows, let's determine if this service is suitable for you. If any of the following applies to you, unfortunately, you may not be eligible for cosmetic tattooing, at least at this time.

  • BLOOD THINNERS

    This can cause excessive bleeding and make it hard to perform the service. It could also dilute the pigment, resulting in inconsistent and spotty results.

  • skin irritations

    Such as sunburns or eczema. This will make the skin extremely sensitive which will lead to poor results. This needs to be cleared up before the appointment can take place.

  • Accutane

    Accutane within the last year. This causes major changes to the condition of the skin and can impact sensitivity. Must be off of Accutane for at least 1 year.

  • Keloids

    If you have a history of keloid scarring, it is not worth the risk.

  • Chemotherapy

    People undergoing chemotherapy are immune compromised and this could cause poor healing. Most importantly, infection is always a risk with any tattoo and it is not worth risking overall health. We must wait until treatment is done and your Dr. gives you the okay.

  • pregnant or breastfeeding

    Out of abundance of caution for the safety of you and your baby, it is recommended that you wait until baby is born and you are done breastfeeding (unless your Dr. gives you the okay).
