• Discontinue all retinol products, acne treatments, BHA/AHA serums, Hyaluronic Acid (check all your makeup, skincare and SPF products. Sometimes called “HA” or “sodium Hyaluronate”) and regenerative creams near the eye area. These products interfere with pigment implantation.

Special Notes

• please do not schedule eyeliner tattooing if you have had cancer treatments in the last 6 months or have an active cancer diagnosis unless cleared by your dr.
• If you have been a HEAVY lash serum user, you may need to discontinue lash serum use for up to 1 year before you can safely receive eyeliner tattooing. I advise people to do research on prolastaglandin, prolastaglandin analogues the active ingredient in popular lash growth serums and consider discontinuing lash growth serums with that ingredient permanently. Instead, Peptide-based serums or simple Castor oil are generally considered a safe alternative.
• Eyelids are the most technical and sensitive skin on the human body to tattoo. Failing to follow pre-care may increase risk and so it will lead to rescheduling at your expense.
• Tattoos are not recommended if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing medical treatments that affect the skin or immune system. (including but not limited to Accutane, chemotherapy, steroid use)
