Eyeliner
Care Guide

  • Arrive with Clean Eyes
    Please come to your appointment with clean eyes—no eye makeup, mascara, eyeliner, or creams around the eye area. This ensures optimal pigment implantation and reduces the risk of irritation.

    Avoid Caffeine & Alcohol
    Avoid caffeine and alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Both can increase sensitivity and cause minor bleeding during the procedure.

    Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications
    If possible, refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications 24 hours prior to your session (unless prescribed by your doctor). These can increase bleeding and affect pigment retention.

    Discontinue Lash Serums & Eye Creams
    Stop using lash growth serums, retinol, or any active eye creams at least 7 days before your treatment. These products can thin the skin and increase sensitivity.

    Remove Contact Lenses
    Please remove contact lenses before your appointment to prevent dryness or irritation during the procedure. Bring glasses if needed.

    Avoid Lash Extensions or Lifts
    Remove any lash extensions at least 3–5 days before treatment. If you’ve recently had a lash lift or tint, wait a minimum of 2 weeks before scheduling eyeliner tattooing.

    Arrive on Time
    Arriving promptly allows your artist to discuss your desired shape, color, and style without rushing the numbing and preparation process..

  • Avoid Eye Makeup
    Do not apply any makeup (mascara, eyeliner, or eyeshadow) to the treated area for at least 7–10 days after the procedure to avoid irritation and reduce the risk of infection.

    Avoid Rubbing or Scratching
    Do not rub, scratch, or pick at the treated area, even if it starts to peel or scab. This can cause pigment loss and increase the risk of scarring or infection.

    Sun Protection
    Avoid sun exposure to the treated area for at least 2–4 weeks post-procedure. After the healing period, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect the tattoo from fading caused by sun exposure.

    No Swimming or Hot Tubs
    Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, or lakes for at least 2 weeks after the procedure to reduce the risk of infection from bacteria in the water.

    Avoid Sweating
    Refrain from intense physical activity, heavy sweating, or exercising for the first 5–7 days post-procedure to allow the skin to heal without excess moisture or irritation.

    Stay Hydrated and Rested
    Drink plenty of water and get adequate rest to support your body’s natural healing process. Well-hydrated skin will heal faster and more effectively.

  • The skin around your eyes may be slightly swollen and red immediately after the procedure. This usually subsides within 1-2 days, though some people may experience mild swelling for up to a week.

  • The tattooed area will appear dark immediately after the procedure. This is normal and will fade to a softer, more natural-looking color over the next 1-2 weeks as the skin heals.

  • As the tattoo heals, you may notice light scabbing or peeling. This is part of the natural healing process, and it’s essential not to pick at it to avoid scarring or pigment loss.

  • Initial Healing
    The first 3–5 days may involve swelling and some discomfort.

    Peeling and Flaking
    Between 5–7 days, you may notice the area peeling or flaking as it heals.

    Full Healing
    It usually takes 4–6 weeks for the tattoo to fully heal and for the pigment to settle into its final shade.
