Eyeliner Aftercare

Your eyelids may swell a couple of days and be darker for 4- 5 days than when healed.  They will appear healed in about a week, although deep healing takes 4-6 weeks.  Your colour will develop over time, so please have patience. 

Care

2-3 hours after your tattoo, with clean hands, use one of the provided cotton rounds to gently blot both of your eyes; this is to remove any accumulated body fluid and crusting.  Carefully apply a rice grain sized amount or less of Aftercare Ointment using a microbrush. Repeat 2 - 4 hours later

Before bed blot again, and carefully reapply aftercare product.  Use a clean pillow case and try not to sleep on your face.

Day 2 repeats the blotting process 4 times, morning, afternoon, evening, and night.  Follow with a rice grain amount or less of Aftercare each time.   You may shower with care, avoiding your face, and then gently remove any accumulated water using a Q-tip or tissue directly after. 

On days 3 - 10, you no longer blot, just continue with aftercare ointment. Expect some itching as healing takes place.  Do not disturb your lash roots.

  • You may ice (up to 5 min.) if covered in clean plastic wrap.

  • Avoid contact lenses for 24 hours.

  • Purchase new (bacteria free) mascara which may be used after 1 week.

  • Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes. 

  • Avoid cleansers for 1 week.

  • Avoid sun, sunbeds, sauna, swimming and hot yoga for 7-10 days.

Long Term

Eyeliner pigment is iron-oxide based, it naturally fades over time.  Rate of fading depends on skin type, sun exposure and body chemistry; try to maintain healthy iron levels as low iron may result in more rapid fading. Most people have a colour boosting tattoo every 1-2 years. 

Failure to follow these instructions may result in colour loss.
