• If you are undergoing chemotherapy you will have to wait until your treatment is finished. It is recommended to wait 12 months and you will require a letter from your doctor confirming it is safe to proceed.

• Lip Blush: If you are prone to cold sores you must take preventative anti-viral medication such as Zovirax 5 days before, on the day of, and 5 days after your Lip Blush treatment (or as advised by your doctor or pharmacist). Please be aware that if you have the herpes simplex virus, the treatment can trigger an outbreak. Taking an anti-viral medication will minimise your chances of a cold sore breaking out. You can purchase an over-the-counter anti-viral medication from your local pharmacy.

• If you have a skin condition such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris, rosacea or chronic acne (in the area being treated) unfortunately, cosmetic tattooing will not be suitable for you. This is because your skin is likely in a state of constant shedding and inflammation, and therefore won’t hold the pigment very well.

• You must be over 18 years of age to receive any cosmetic tattoo treatments.

• We will not be able to tattoo over any blemishes, sores, moles or bumps in the treatment area.

• You must inform us of any previous cosmetic tattoos you have in the area to be treated BEFORE booking your appointment. Please send us a clear close-up photo of your existing tattoo so we can determine if we can work over it.

• Retinol, Vitamin A and any eyebrow growth serums must be paused at least 1 month before your treatment as these products can cause the skin to be hypersensitive and bleed easily.

• You must wait a minimum of 4 months after your cosmetic tattooing procedure before you can give blood.
