Ph: 6286 0001

Epic Pharmacy 30/36
New Town Rd, New Town

Order 5g of the Feather Touch 10% Gel.

Allow 5 days for this to be created, we are unable to use any other type of anesthetic, as we have this created with a base that won't impact the skin + any over the counter products won't come close to the strength of this product.

Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure:

Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure.

Do not tan two weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face.

Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to the procedure.

Do not work out the day of the procedure.

Do not have botox 3 weeks prior to the procedure.

Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior to the procedure (they are natural blood thinners)

Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days prior to the procedure.

Avoid booking directly before or after your menstural cycle. You may have a major increase in discomfort.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:

Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your tattoo

Do not consume coffee 6 hours before your procedure

Do not take an Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief (these also thin the blood)

Do not smoke within 2 hours of your treatment. Especially Lip Tattoo - it can make it harder to implant the colour.

Please take a break from vitamin c serums, retinoids, and glycolic treatments, around the treatment area for 2 weeks before & after your treatment.

Cosmetic Tattoo is not able to be performed if the below applies.

Pregnant or nursing

Uncontrolled diabetes Viral infections and/or diseases Epilepsy

EYELINER

After eyeliner tattoo your eyes may swell or redden because of the delicate skin and sensitive areas, some clients feel it is best not to make any social plans for a day or two following any procedure. It is always best to avoid these procedures within months prior to important life events such as weddings, vacations etc. Also if you have vascular eyelids, eyeliner tattoo is not recommended. Your eyes can be sensitive and bleed easily. Consult with your artist first.

No Eyelash Extensions

No eyelash extension 1 week before and until 4 weeks after your touchup session.

No Lash Growth Serum
No Lash Growth Serum for 6 week prior to your appointment

No Mascara

No mascara on the day of the procedure and have your eyes free of makeup and moisturizer. Too much wax based makeup affects the healing process and pigment implantation.

No Contact Lenses

No contact lenses, bring glasses and you can wear your contact
lenses after 48 hours post procedure.

Other Notes

If your eyes are sensitive to a bright light, bring somebody with you.If you have a previous eyeliner tattoo you need to send us a photo.If you have had any type of eye surgery, including Cataract, Lasik, blepharoplasty, you must get medical clearance from your physician.

LIPS

Please wait 8 weeks before and after lip blush to receive fillers.

If you suffer from cold sores (even just once ever in your whole life) you must take an anti-viral medication (like Valtrex) 2-3 days before, and 3-5 days after having your lips tattooed as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.

This issue is extremely common, about 90% of the population suffers from them.

Lip Blushing does not cause cold sores, however, the injury to the lip tissue from being tattooed can cause an outbreak if the virus already lives dormant in your body.

An outbreak can damage your lip blushing results, so when in doubt, reach out to your pharmacist and get an anti-viral before your appointment.
If you know for sure you are not someone who gets cold sores you can skip this step and count yourself as lucky!

Exfoliate & moisturize lips in the week leading up to your appointment. You can make a mixture of olive oil & sugar to gently scrub your lips 3 x leading up.

I got eyeliner tattooing. I've been thinking about it for a while decided to go through with it and couldn't be happier with the results. Looks amazing and totally worth it. Parisa was amazing and everyone was lovely through out. No more wobbly eyeliner application every morning for me 😍 x
