IMPORTANT INFORMATION ~ CLIENTS MUST READ
Pre - Treatment Considerations/Medications/Conditions:
Skin altering procedures such as plastic surgery, cosmeceutical treatments, and/or injections may alter and degrade the skin and affect how the cosmetic tattoo holds in the skin.
Medical conditions and/or certain medications may prevent the pigment from retaining
or cause it to fade quickly or change in colour.
How your body heals or retains the tattooed pigment is out of the control of the artist. This is 100% of your body’s job.
Even when following the aftercare correctly there is a chance that pigment may not hold in the skin or last as long as expected. This is not the fault of the Artist.
Achievable results may vary at each application long term.
This is due to the changes in your skin and lifestyle factors and is not the fault of the Artist.
If you have had tattooing prior to Anita's Cosmetic Tattoo Skin Clinic, there are no guarantees to the retention of pigment.
There may be underlying scar tissue or pigment congestion from other Artists work,
in which will affect the healed outcome of our work.
And for these reasons/or any other reasons the treatment is non refundable.

Numbing is compounded to suit eyebrow, eyeliner and lip tattoo. Risk of use is extremely low, but you must phone the pharmacist to check you are medically suitable to use. Phone: 4968 8070
if you live too far from our clinic please Phone: 4968 8070 it will be delivered.
Otherwise either pick up before your appointment, or arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your appointment time.
Advise a staff member immediately that you need numbing applied.
at home: Refrigerate.
Please apply numbing on Eyebrows or Lips 1 hour prior to appointment and bring with you. If having eyeliner Do NOT apply the numbing just bring it to your appointment.
This compounded numbing is Double the strength of the commercial numbing (Emla & Numbit are not strong enough and I do not allow their use)
The quantity is enough for both the initial treatment and your 2nd treatment/touch up.
Pre-appointment preparation.
FOR ALL TATTOOING: Caucasian women over the age of 45 please take Arnica tablets for 5 days prior to tattooing. This can help reduce inflammation and bleeding, which in turn will give you a much better end result.

Lip Blush Prep:

Buffing/exfoliating your lips and keeping moisturised for the week prior will help with pigment implantation.
If you have a history of cold sores, (or even just to be on the safe side) it is essential to start on anti-viral medication.
It has been documented that 1000 mg 3 days before, the day of and 3 days after the procedure reduces the risk significantly.
Avoid laser hair removal on or near the area 2 weeks prior.
Scars on the area may retain pigment differently or heal patchy.
Ensure the lip area is not sun or wind burnt, chapped or too dry.
If you have Angular Cheilitis (dry corners of the mouth) please ask your pharmacist for a treatment.
Just prior to your appointment, brush your teeth & rinse your mouth with Biotene mouthwash to kill bacteria in your mouth.
Do not eat or smoke after cleaning teeth. Remember to apply numbing 1 hr and again 1/2 hour prior to appointment. Bring the numbing to the appointment.
Punctuality
Please aim to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to appointment. allow for finding parking and once inside there are forms to fill out. We allocate 1.5 to 2 hours for each client, depending on technique booked. If you’re running more than 15 minutes late, your appointment may be cancelled, as it may effect the next client. To rebook you will need to pay another deposit.

After Care:
After-care for your cosmetic tattooing is 50% of the final result.
So it imperative to follow the instructions carefully.
We supply a wash & cream which both gives excellent healed results for Brows, Eyeliner & Lips
1 set is ample for both the initial and touch up treatments.
Use twice a day for 1-2 weeks.(keep using for a couple of days after peeling)
Starting approximately 24 hours after tattooing.
What to expect during in the healing process
Going through the healing process is stressful! Have the expectation that brows/lips
will change day to day until they have fully healed.
The colour of your cosmetic tattoo will appear 2-3 times, darker, thicker and more sharply defined immediately after the procedure due to the excess pigment and swelling in the area. The results may blur & look blockish during the healing period. Please do not panic.
This is completely normal and part of the healing process.
Swelling will subside after a couple of days, then brows/lips/eyeliner will start to harden and when fully healed start to flake off.
(like any normal wound).
Fading and loss of tattoo colour after they have flaked is expected. Some of the area will disappear and reappear after a few weeks as the skin heals. Don’t be alarmed. Your tattoos are still there beneath the transparent, new skin layer.
Colour will re-appear between week 2-4 or at a later part of the healing process.
*Multiple sessions may be required. As we are working with skin, we can only do our best of implanting the colour
and see how the skin takes the pigment and heals.
Cosmetic tattooing is usually a 2-step process. Fortunately, most of our clients do only require the one touch up.
However, there is a small percentage that require a second touch up. If this is the case, we advise clients to book to have this done 6 weeks after the 1st touch up. If you wait too long between your first session and touch up appointment, over time,
you will have different stages of fading. another touch up fee will apply.
Remember do not judge your Tattoo straight away. Here’s Why:
This is a cosmetic procedure. You cannot judge your brows until they are completely healed. This is normally around 6 weeks post procedure. Please be patient. Any changes can be made at your touch up appointment,
as this appointment will be your perfecting appointment.
What to avoid during the healing process?
*No skincare or makeup products near the area.
*Avoid any skincare products containing retinol, H. A, vitamin A, C and E agents.
*Avoid touching area with unclean hands.
*Do not pick, pull, scratch your tattoo at all, allow the scabs to form and fall off naturally.
*You can cause trauma to the tissue and actually increase the possibility of skin damage, infection,
or prematurely removing the Tattoo Pigment.
*Do not schedule any Facials, Microdermabrasion, Micro needling, Peels or Laser treatments for at least 2-4 weeks. They can darken/lighten or distort the pigment.
*Do not tint your brows for three weeks after your procedure.
*Avoid drinking alcohol in excess, as it may lead to slow healing of wounds.
*Do not do heavy, sweating exercise, sport, swimming, sauna steam room, Jacuzzi, and long, hot showers for 5 days.
Why? The blood can rise under the skin causing you to sweat, which may result in Tattoo Pigment being pushed out of the skin,
causing it to heal, patchy and uneven altering your final results
*Do not put any chemicals or active skincare products over cosmetic tattoo,
This includes any professional facial treatments, eg: face peels
For 2 weeks after:
Chemicals, glycolic, acid, and skincare with anti-ageing ingredients of any kind may interfere with the healing process and colour of your cosmetic tattoo. It will also fade your tattoo faster by stimulating skin regeneration process.
Do not wet your brows in the shower, clean at basin, following aftercare instructions.
Ensure showers are not too hot and steamy as this will open the pores exposing your pigment.
Protect your tattoo with sunblock after four weeks onwards.
Why? Sun exposure, overtime, including solariums, will cause the colour of your tattoo to fade and change. TIP After applying sunscreen you can cover your tattoo with Vasoline, when swimming salt,or chlorinated water to extend the life of your tattoo.
How long will your Cosmetic Tattoo last?
This varies between every individual due to skin, type, diet, genetics, and environmental factors,
as they all contribute to retention of pigment.
As a guide, it could last anywhere between 6 to 24 months before a refresher treatment is required to maintain your cosmetic tattoo.
Once the colour starts to change and fade significantly, you are ready for a colour refresher,
It is important to remember that Semi Permanent Make-Up needs maintaining.
12 Month Maintenance Brow Tattoo
To keep your brows looking fab they need maintenance, so we suggest doing an annual maintenance appointment.
Anita completely re draws, measures & tattoos the whole brow. You may or may not require a 6 week touch up.
Determine after 4 weeks and book if needed.
Covid 19
Covid is still around. Masks will be worn by client and technician wear possible.
You can wear your own mask to enter (if you wish)
however you will be given a new disposable mask to wear during the treatment.
Only client and technician in treatment room.
If you need to cancel within 48 hrs of your appointment due to Covid symptoms you will be required to produce evidence to show you have been tested and positive, so your deposit can be transferred to another day within 6 months.
