Post Appointment
Aftercare 14 days  

After care is crucial, it is very important to follow these instructions for the full 14 day healing period to ensure proper healing and color retention. Results may vary.

 

Cosmetic tattoos take between 4-6 weeks to fully heal. At this time you may receive your touch-up if any color has faded, or if you would simply like to add more definition to your brows.

 

 After the topical anesthetic wears off you may feel some tenderness on and around the tattooed area. You may also experience slight swelling and redness the day of your procedure; this is normal and typically fades within 24-48 hours. At this point you may take Tylenol if you feel any pain, but avoid Aspirin or Ibuprofen as it can cause blood thinning.
