The eyelids are a very thin and sensitive area of the skin and it is very important to take care in preparing for your appointment.
Prep & Care
Permanent Eyeliner Pre-Care
TWO WEEKS BEFORE
- No Botox, or any Filler, and no Facials.
- If you regularly wear eyelash extensions, it’s advisable to remove them prior to the permanent eyeliner procedure. Extensions can interfere with the application process and if not cleaned properly, can harbor bacteria and put you at a higher risk of infection.
*Most importantly, to prevent bleeding and ensure proper color deposit.*
- 24hrs before: No Alcohol, No Caffeine (yes, that means coffee!), No Vitamin E, or Fish Oil Supplements, and No excessive sweating or working out.
- Do not consume blood thinning supplements or medications

Eyeliner After-Care instructions:
At the end of your session, we will provide you with an after care kit that has everything you need for the 7-14 day healing process. This may vary per client, but 14 days is recommended for the best results.
Please keep in mind, your Eyeliner tattoo immediately after is still considered a wound and should be treated and cared for as such. Wash hands thoroughly before touching eyes.
*Initial Healing Period (First Week or 7-10 days):
- Keep the eye area clean and dry for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
- Avoid touching or rubbing the eyeliner area to prevent infection and pigment displacement.
- Avoid applying makeup, creams, or lotions directly on the treated area during the initial healing period.
- Expect some swelling, redness, and tenderness around the eyeliner area immediately after the procedure. This is normal and should subside within a few days.
- Let the treated area dry heal, meaning we do not advise to apply any ointment to the area, wash and rinse as usual but try to avoid any scrubbing or abrasion to the area
*Avoid Moisture and Sun Exposure:
- Avoid getting the eyeliner area submerged wet for the first few days after the procedure. This includes avoiding swimming, saunas, steam rooms, and excessive sweating.
- Protect the treated area from direct sunlight and tanning beds to prevent fading of the pigment. Use sunglasses and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen if you need to be outdoors.
After getting permanent eyeliner, it’s crucial to follow proper aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.
