Cosmetic Tattoo Aftercare

-For the first three days use warm water to cleanse only. From the third day use a gentle soap such as Cetaphil gentle cleanser twice daily.

- Use a clean cotton tip to apply the aftercare ointment recommended to you. Apply a fine layer so the tattoo is slightly shiny, but not creamy and white

- Apply the ointment two to three times a day to your brows & eyes, and apply hourly to lips for 5-7 days 

- Gently pat the areas dry after showering with a clean towel - do not rub 

- Lip Treatment: Should you suffer from a cold sore whilst healing purchase Famciclovir (or similar) medication from your chemist as to suppress it as much as possible 

Things to avoid:
1. No make-up, cleansers, serums, or moisturisers directly on the area for 7 days. 

2. Do not soak your tattoo, which includes:
- Swimming in private or public pools
- Use of baths or saunas
- Surfing or swimming in the ocean or lakes

- Hot/Bikram Yoga 

3. Do not agitate the skin by picking, itching, or irritating the flaking skin. Please allow 7-21 days for a tattoo to heal; the colour will lighten & darken over this time.  It is also recommended that, once healed, a sunscreen be used that has a minimum rating of 50spf+ to prevent fading and degradation of your brow tattoo. 

4. Eyelash/Eyeliner—DO NOT rub the area, this will cause irritation
