PRE APPOINTMENT CARE

This procedure involves very minimal bleeding. Therefore we don't want excessive bleeding so we ask for you to not drink alcohol or caffeine the day you are to have the procedure. Do not take any blood thinner medication(Unless prescribed by a doctor for medical reasons)One week before your appointment (aka Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ibuprofen, etc.). Excess bleeding can drastically affect your ability to numb and the overall results. 

Please eat before the procedure since you want normal blood sugar levels for any tattoo procedure. You will not feel like eating after (You must wait 3 hours for any food).

Your procedure with your scheduled vacation/events!

DO NOT Schedule when you have an event that conflicts with healing. You will need 5 to 7 Days of healing time. expect an additional “perfecting” touch-up 6-8 weeks after the first appointment. 

Very important to consult with us regarding cold sores, shingles, Herpes Simplex. If you have EVER had any of these conditions, it is important you are pre-treated with an antiviral, consult with your physician.

NO Lip fillers or Botox 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after your procedure.

Is recommended for best results to start a lip scrub once a day for 3 days before your procedure so that your lips are prepped and don't have a rough texture, which will prevent proper pigment saturation and a poor healing result. Use the morning of the appointment. Do not over scrub to the point that you have raw or compromised skin just a light scrub. You may buy a lip scrub from any local drug store or make a sugar lip scrub at home (google sugar lip scrub) To exfoliate off dead layers of skin. Use moisturizer On your lips in the days prior to the procedure to maintain a smooth texture.
