Permanent Eyeliner

---

Before appointment:

• Discontinue use of fake lashes, waterproof mascara, long lasting eyeliner, and oil based makeup and makeup remover 4 weeks prior. VERY IMPORTANT! 
• Discontinue Latisse and any other lash growth serum 6 weeks prior. 
• Avoid perming or tinting your lashes for 7 days prior.
• Do not use retinol, acids, or resurfacing and brightening treatments near the eyes for 4 weeks prior. 

Day of: Appointments are scheduled for 1 hour.

• Shower before and arrive makeup free. No contact lenses.
• Fill out a consent form, arbitration agreement, and provide ID. 
• Topical numbing, safe for eyes, is applied for 5-10 minutes. 
• Eyes remain closed throughout the entire process.
• Apply color and repeat until desired saturation is achieved. 
• Rinse with a saline wash to refresh.
• Talking is discouraged to reduce movement.
• Use of retinol, topical creams, and lash growth serums prevents the ink from implanting properly. Preparing for your appointment is very important!

Aftercare:

• No shower, steam, sauna, sun or sweating for 24 hours. Steam does not allow pores to close.
• Keep area clean to prevent infection.
• No makeup around eyes for 3 days.
• Use unopened mascara after 72 hours to avoid infection.
• No lash extensions, tinting, perming or curling for 2 weeks.
• Apply a small amount of ointment 3 times daily, on clean skin and rub in well to lock in the color. 
• Avoid retinols, acids, and exfoliating treatments near the eyes to prevent premature fading.

Healing:

• Minor swelling for 3-5 days (does not occur for everyone).
• May apply ice in a clean plastic bag if needed. 
• May return to work and drive as usual.
• May wear contact lenses if no irritation.
• Color may disappear then reappear lighter and requires a 4-6 week touchup.

If you have vascular eyelids or had any type of eye surgery, including cataract, Lasik, or blepharoplasty in the last year you may not be a candidate for an eyeliner tattoo and a doctor's note is required for clearance.
