If you have any questions about any of the contradictions above or other concerns you are unsure about, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us! As well, we highly recommend you consult your physician regarding the above contraindications if any apply prior to inquiring; however, please note that we do have the right to refuse service should we feel uncomfortable or if we feel we cannot perform or retain our best work to provide you with the best result!

Everyone experiences pain on different levels. Although, we do our absolute best to keep you as comfortable as possible during any of the procedures and happily check in with you during the entire process. We do apply a topical numbing when you first arrive to eliminate as much discomfort as possible. With that being said, those who have a low pain tolerance, the pain levels range from a 3-5 out of 10 (at the start). Those who have a high pain tolerance, the pain levels range from a 0-1 out of 10 - some don’t experience pain at all and most fall into a deep relaxation state. We can assure that any irritation may only be at the beginning of the procedure, until more numbing is applied during the appointment.

IMPORTANT: LIP BLUSH clients MUST take an anti-viral medication prescribed from a doctor ahead and after the procedure. This is critical as cold sores will most likely form from the trauma of the to the lip area and can effect the results.

What to avoid:

• Alcohol 48 hours prior to procedure.

• Caffeine which includes food and/or beverage (there is caffeine in decaf coffee, tea, chocolate, etc) 48 hours prior to procedure.

• Fish oils, supplements and any medications (i.e stimulants, anti-inflammatory/steroid, advil etc) that may cause thinning of blood 1 week prior to procedure. Tylenol is OK. If you are on blood thinning medication for previous or current conditions, please let us know immediately and kindly consult your physician regarding the best course of action. 

• Vitamin C serums, retinol, active skin care products, chemical peels and/or facials at least 2 weeks prior to appointment. If any of these apply, please let us know. You may need to consult with a medical professional (dermatologist) to ensure it is safe to move forward. 

• Heavy sunlight, tanning and sunburnt skin 2 weeks prior to your appointment as your skin should not be healing from the above prior to your appointment. 

• Botox anywhere around the treatment area 2-4 weeks prior to your appointment as it can alter the end results of your procedure. It is best to have the face at rest for your initial appointment to get the best results.

• Brow tint, hybrid dye, henna or any other chemical treatment on/to the brows for 4 weeks prior to your appointment. We need to see the true colour of your brow hair and chemical treatments to the area can affect the results and healing.

• Laser, tweezing, waxing, electrolysis or any other form of hair removal in the bulk of the brow 1 week prior

The provided pre-care instructions are to prevent excessive bleeding during the tattooing procedure, skin sensitivities and any issues. Failure to follow the above guidelines could reduce the amount of pigment implantation + retention, can potentially alter your pigment colour and risk poor + delayed healing which can also risk scarring. It is up to the artist's discretion to move forward if the client fails to follow pre care instructions and may result in the appointment being rescheduled and fees to still be incurred.

• It is normal to see some residual swelling, irritated skin and redness around the treated area.
  The treated area may appear uneven, dry, itchy, tender, irritated & dark in colour. These symptoms will dissipate each day and vary on an individual basis.

• The pigment will look to become darker during healing (especially days 1-5), this is part of the process and does not determine the final look. During and after healing, pigment will shrink, fade and soften between 30% to 50%. All changes that may occur will happen during the 4-6 weeks post procedure.

• Flaking dry skin, scabbing is normal and MUST naturally fall off. Do not pick, scratch or rub the treated area as it can cause scarring or loss of pigment retention. Natural pigment rejection is normal. Healing is specific to each individual client and not a one size fits all.

• Use the cleanser and ointment provided, as directed by your artist.

If you have ANY unexpected problems, concerns or questions regarding your procedure and healing please contact us immediately for further instruction.
