Aftercare for a cosmetic brow tattoo is essential to ensure proper healing and optimal results. Trust the process it's worth it.

Here are some key aftercare tips:
AVOID
Direct water: Avoid all direct water on the tattoo site for 10 days, this includes steam and sweat.
Skincare: Do not apply any cleansers, creams, or any other skincare products to the tattoo site for 10 days.
Sun exposure: Avoid any direct sun exposure on the tattoo site for 10 days.
THE JOURNEY
Trust the process: Please be patient during your 2 week recovery phase. Your tattoo site will change from day to day. Just remember, trust the process.
Immediately post-treatment: Immediately after your treatment, the tattoo site will appear dark with a tight, sunburnt type of feeling to the skin. Days 2 and 3 will appear the darkest. Again, trust the process.
2 hours post-treatment: Get a cotton pad, soak it up with some lukewarm water, and blot the tattoo site to help relieve any excess fluid. Be gentle, and don't touch the tattoo site again for another 2 days.
2-10 days post-treatment: Now, start applying the aftercare cream supplied at your appointment with a clean cotton tip each morning and evening for the next 10 days. Use sparingly, less is best. Be very gentle not to wipe away any scabs when applying the cream.
4-7 days post treatment: You will experience flaking and the skin at your tattoo site may look dry. Do not pick your tattoo. Let the flakes fall off naturally.
6-8 weeks post-treatment: Your new cosmetic tatto will take 6-8 weeks to completely heal. Once the flaking has fallen off naturally, the pigment may appear faint. Don't be concerned, this is all part of the process. There is now a fresh layer of skin that has healed over your new tattoo site, so give your skin some time. It will become clearer and the pigment will seem more vibrant in the weeks to come!
Proper aftercare will help ensure your brow tattoo heals beautifully and lasts as long as possible!
