Cosmetic Tattooing Aftercare Instructions
Please read and follow the instructions carefully. Your aftercare is extremely important.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR TATTOO AFTER THE PROCEDURE.
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO BE FOLLOWING THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS AFTER ALL TATTOO PROCEDURES. YOU WILL ALSO BE GIVEN AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS AFTER RECIEVEING COSMETIC TATTOOING SERVICES.
Before & after your tattoo:
No Botox or microdermabrasion for 2 weeks.
Chemical treatments or laser for 4 weeks.
No lip filler for 2 months.
FOR THE FIRST 5 DAYS AVOID WATER ON THE TATTOO.
AVOID ALL contact with these items and activities for 2 weeks after the procedure: NO regular soap, cleansers, swimming, sun, saunas, exercise, hot steamy showers, and makeup.
Do not touch the tattooed area at all. Additionally, change your pillowcase often and avoid exposure to dirt and dust to ensure proper healing of the tattoo.
Hands off: No scratching or picking, just tap the area if the area is itchy, as you don’t want to scratch pigment away.
Avoid steamy hot showers for 7 days. Do not put glad wrap or anything else covering the brows when using the shower.
Avoid being in direct sunlight while the tattoos are healing.
Avoid exercise for 7 days! No exceptions. Salt produced in sweat will push out pigment.
Change your pillowcase to avoid any contact with dust or bacteria.

- Your lips will be very dry. It’s important to keep them moist with aftercare constantly. If you have dry pieces of skin do not pull or pick at them. Let the lips exfoliate naturally.
- You still may get a cold sore after the tattoo even if you have never in the past, as the virus may live dormant in your system. If so, take over-the-counter Famvir, a prescription from your Dr. of Valtrex or L-lysine. Also can alternate application with your aftercare cream and Zovirax.
- Continue to constantly hydrate the lips to prepare for your 2nd procedure.
- Avoid lip licking! The enzymes in your saliva will break down the pigment in the centre of your lip.
- Avoid lipsticks and anything on your lips other than our aftercare for 2 weeks to avoid dehydration.
- Note: Lip Blush will have very little to no scabbing. Full saturation lipstick or dark colour correction can have scabbing.
- Very important: COLD SORES!!! You must get on Valtrex after your lip tattooing if you haven’t prepped for it. You can get a cold sore, that can potentially spread to many. Get a script from your dr. immediately and insist on getting the script! Any worries with your dr. call the salon. This script is for Herpes 2 but works for Herpes 1. Very effective. Make sure you take 2 pills a day for 5 days.
