Eyeliner Aftercare

Day 1

    • Using your CLEAN hands, blot the area throughout the 1st day and continue to blot every 5 minutes with a clean dry tissue until the “oozing” stops.
    • Make sure to sleep on a clean pillow case for the next two weeks, changing when needed. 

 Days 2-7

    • Your eyeliner will appear darker.
    • The morning after treatment , gently wash the area with water.
    • Apply a very tiny amount of the healing cream given by the artist. The application should be thin, like applying lip balm. Tip: use a Q-Tip to gently apply to the liner.
    • DO NOT MASSAGE OR RUB. AVOID SCRUBBING. ABSOLUTELY NO PICKING! 
    • Do not introduce new products that have not been approved by your artist. 
    • Use the cream twice per day if you have normal/dry skin.
    • Use once per day if you have Oily skin.

Please wait 2 Weeks before:

    • Applying makeup on the eyes (including mascara).
    • Going into swimming pools, using hot tubs, saunas, or going to the beach,
    • Long, hot, or steamy showers.
    • Activities that will produce sweat.
    • Tanning or anti-aging products (including Retinol) on the eyes.

 

Important!

    • NEVER touch your fresh tattoo for any reason.
    • If you experience scabbing, crusting, or flaking please let your tattoo exfoliate naturally.
    • In the rare event you suspect an infection, please email 12ozstudios@gmail.com.
    • NO SUN for 30 days after (Wearing a hat and/or sunglasses WILL NOT be sufficient).
    • Your liner will be dark and bold at first, then will become lighter once healed (roughly 30% lighter). The color will take 3-4 weeks to fully adjust.
    • Avoid alcohol consumption directly after your procedure. 
    • Flush eyes with eye wash to rid particles from the inner eye.
    • For the safety and health of your eyes, blink continuously if you feel something inside. 
    • Avoid wearing contact lenses for 2 days.
    • Avoid applying strip lashes or eyelash extensions until you are  cleared by your artist. 
    • Avoid laser, waxing, chemical treatments, or any facial procedures until your eyes are fully healed.
    • Normal swelling will last 2-4 days. This will cause the tattoo to look larger than it is. Once the swelling has subsided it will look smaller. 
    • Touch ups are an important part of the procedure. Perfection is not to be expected after the initial procedure.
