CONTRADICTIONS
candidates who are seeking cosmetic tattoos and who may be contraindicated (meaning those that we cannot treat)
are:
-
UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE
-
PREGNANT or NURSING – Although there is no medical evidence that tattooing would have any effect on an unborn child, we don’t know for sure. So, we suggest you err on the side of caution and come back after the baby is born and you are no longer nursing.
-
TRANSMITTABLE BLOOD CONDITIONS… such as HIV, Hepatitis, West Nile, or any other infection.
-
CHEMOTHERAPY/RADIOTHERAPY or ACTIVE SKIN CANCER…Must get clearance from your doctor before considering permanent make-up.
-
ON ACCUTANE, RETIN A, AHA’s (lactic, glycolic, citric, retinoic and tartaric acids) or any OTC creams and lotions for tone correcting, anti-aging, exfoliating, fading can discolor your permanent makeup… Topical steroids thin the skin. Depending on the stage your skin is at, it may be too fragile to undergo procedure. You should get clearance from your doctor before considering permanent make-up.
-
ON ANTICOAGULATIONS…(blood thinners) long term use of aspirin, ibuprofen and some herbs reduce clotting time resulting in increased bleeding and bruising, which will affect the implantation of pigment as well as increase the healing time.
-
HAVE AN AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE… Such as Lupus, MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, etc. You should get clearance from your doctor before considering permanent make-up.
-
DIABETIC…If you are insulin dependent, you are not a candidate for permanent make-up. Healing could be compromised and take longer than average. Otherwise, if your doctor feels your condition is under control you may request a letter stating that you are able to undergo cosmetic tattooing.
-
BLOOD DISORDERS… that affect clotting such as hemophilia, sickle cell anemia and platelet disorders could interfere with implantation of pigment, however it is possible to receive successful implantation of permanent cosmetics.
-
If excessive bleeding occurs, extra appointments may be necessary for desired outcome or procedure may not be effective.
Allergy Patch tests are recommended for allergies and sensitive skin. If you choose to receive a patch test, we recommend booking it before booking your eyebrow appointment, as all deposits and booking fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. Patch test fee is $50 and does NOT go toward your appointment. Please contact me via email to schedule a patch test.
Please do inquire with me before you book if you're planning on taking the COVID-19 vaccine or have taken the vaccine. due to a lot of articles and brow relating posts about the vaccine giving a reaction to your brows you will need to consult with me before you book. If you've already gotten the vaccine I recommend to book your brow service at least a week after your vaccination. Failure to follow this rule will result in your appointment being cancelled and your deposit being forfeited.
