Cold sores are a risk of lip blush tattoo. Anyone who has had a cold sore is advised to speak with your physician for an anti-viral medication prior to lip tattooing, to help avoid an outbreak. This is an immune response and can cause someone who unknowingly has the virus dormant to become active.
If you have an outbreak after your lip blushing please contact your health care provider. It may or may not affect healed results, but typically if left to run its course and/or treated the tattoo typically is not affected negatively.
Blood thinners, Cholesterol, Blood Pressure and Thyroid medications may affect healing and retention.
Chemotherapy may affect retention.
Restasis may increase sensitivity and affect retention.
Diabetic patients - You may have a prolonged healing, that may lead to a higher risk of infection.
Steroids and Antibiotics - should be completed 2 weeks prior to tattoo, they may affect retention
Accutane users - must wait a minimum of 12 months after discontinued use before getting tattoos.
Please consult with you physician.
Client’s skin type, lifestyle and other factors vary in the retention and longevity of the services rendered. Certain medications can alter color over time and cause premature fading. Those with previous scaring in the procedure area and those with sensitive or problematic skin may experience less retention.
Please refrain from alcohol use for 24 hours prior to appointment.
Avoid Caffeine the day of appointment.
These are stimulants that both increase blood flow and may cause you to bleed more. In addition they may make you less comfortable during the appointment.
In 6-12 weeks a second session may be needed to perfect the permanent makeup. Permanent makeup is more superficial which may lead to uneven patches and lighter than expected color results. Since this is your face, I always work more modestly in the beginning, leaving room to add in more. Some work will always require a minimum of two sessions, to ensure we are not overworking the skin and causing unwanted results such as blending and migration.
Body Tattoos may need a touch up.
I offer a free touch up within 6 months, After those 6 months a tray fee is charged. Fine line tattoos are meant to be think and they can be fickle. The body may push lines out resulting in the need of a touch up over time. Sun is the biggest fade factor for tattoos, but also immune responses, medications and lifestyle choices may alter the results. Most tattoos age with our skin, so some line thickening, fall out and changes over time are expected.
Michigan's Licensing and Regulations had a recent update, effective immediately, Stating that All Tattoo Technicians including Permanent Makeup Artists are not permitted to administer Numbing Agents prior or during a tattoo or pmu service.
The client may not self administer any numbing agents prior to receiving a tattoo or pmu service, unless obtaining a written prescription from a licensed practitioner. This prescription must be documented in the intake form at the time of the appointment.
--I deeply apologize and empathize with clients on this change, as I know that some clients depend on numbing to receive services comfortably. If you have any questions please reach out and I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge as we artists are still trying to clarify with our health departments on the exact best course of action.
AS OF 9/11/25 ALL SERVICES PERFORMED WILL HAVE NO NUMBING PROIR OR DURING SERVICE
