Pre care
Eyeliner tattoo
Prepare the eye area for a smoother session and better pigment retention.
Eyeliner precare steps
- Stop using all retinoids (Retin-A, Tretinoin, Differin etc), These products cause bleeding, sensitivity and poor pigment retention.
- Stop using lash growth serums - they increase bleeding and diffuse the pigment.
- Avoid chemical peels, laser treatments, and microdermabrasion around the eye area.
- Do not schedule any eye procedures close to your eyeliner tattoo appointment.
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds. Sunburned skin cannot be tattooed.
- Remove lash extensions before your appointment.
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, niacin, vitamin E, fish oil, and excessive alcohol, as these thin the blood and increase bleeding.
- Do not consume caffeine (coffee, tea, pre-workout) to minimize bleeding and sensitivity.
- Do not wear contact lenses to your appointment.
- Arrive with clean eyes and no eye makeup.
- Bring glasses if you normally wear contacts.
