Cosmetic Makeup Tattoos

Aftercare Instructions

After the initial procedure the colour will be darker than what you anticipated don’t worry this is normal as the colour will fade about 40% within the first week.

• You must never touch the area unless you have washed your hands thoroughly as this may cause bacteria to infect the treated area.
• Always cleanse the area with a cotton bud or Q Tip.
• Do not scrub or apply any harsh facial moisturisers that contain glycolic acid or Alpha Hydroxy Acids as these dissolve your dead skin cells and may also dissolve the pigment.
• Apply the balm that was provided with your after-care kit this will last you for about 1 week. After that you can apply Paw – Paw Ointment.
