AFTER EVERY SESSION:

Next 4-5 days:

• No touching. You do not want to get any potential bacteria that may be on your hands or fingers to get into your healing scalp. This could cause potential infection.
• No heavy sweat sweating this includes anything that will saturate the scalp (gym, saunas, beaches or other places where you can sweat. 
• No rinsing, scrubbing, shampooing the area – try to keep as much water off as possible.
• DO NOT SHAVE the head or treated area
• You can wear a hat to hide the redness. Redness will go down within 2-3 days. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
• You can lightly dab at it if it gets a little itchy or oily. No rubbing or picking at the treated area.
• You can sleep on it (clean pillowcase) 
• You can continue taking medications you’re currently taking

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

• Consult a health care practitioner at the first sign of infection, allergic reaction, or adverse reaction resulting from the tattoo and report any diagnosed infection, allergic reaction, or adverse reaction resulting from the tattoo to the artist and to your county's Department of State Health Services, Drug and Medical Devices Group.
  

 

• After the procedure, the area treated will be darker and more intense, this is normal. This will last a few days until the skin heals and peels and naturally exfoliates and the true color emerges.

 

• During the healing process, you may develop dry, or flaky and itchy skin around the treated area. This is completely normal. It is important not to rub, pick or scratch this area. 

 

• It is also important to note that even with proper aftercare, your scalp can result in patches or fading spots. This is also completely normal as your body is trying to recover and reject this foreign object from your scalp. This is what your 8 week touch up is intended for. To replace any hair follicles lost during your initial healing process.​

​

• There are a few factors that determine how your body heals such as age, skin type, and lifestyle. However, the typical healing time is about 6 weeks.

LONG-TERM AFTERCARE:

1.    Always use proper sun protection each time you’re out in the sun, at least for the scalp, in order to preserve the pigmentation.
2.    Avoid products or cosmetics with high values of alcohol in them.
3.    Use a gentle exfoliating cleanser as often as possible throughout the week.
4.    Make sure that our scalp is properly moisturized every day.
