What to expect
Days 1-2
Days 3-5
The pigment will appear very sharp and dark immediately after the procedure. The area will appear up to 30% sharper in colour and 10% larger immediately after treatment. Under the pigment, the skin is red and pigment has been deposited into the layer of skin containing dead skin cells; combined giving the appearance of darker colour. This will settle down once the areas begin to heal.
The top layers of skin will begin to shed around this time, and you will see a loss of colour. Your eyebrows may begin to itch and the pigment may appear somewhat raised. Do not scratch or pick.

Day 6-14
Your skin will begin to rapidly exfoliate and should be left alone. Customers may develop bald spots or lose original hair strokes which makes the brows look uneven. This is absolutely normal as your natural skin regeneration is not something that can be controlled by you or the technician. The colour under the exfoliating skin will continue to appear light until the epidermis takes on its more transparent characteristics.
Day 30-40
This is the time to critique your eyebrows as the tattoo has now become part of the dermis and seen under the epidermis. Colour will fade/soften anywhere from 30% to 50%, sometimes more. A touch up appointment is scheduled to perfect required areas (between 4-6 weeks after initial appointment).

Day 4
Avoid
What to expect
Continue wearing the pads that were placed on you during the appointment today. You will remove these pads in the morning tomorrow.
- Remove the pads when you wake up. If your pads do not fall off on their own, wear them into the shower, allow them to fill with water. This allows them to fall off without pulling any color out.
- Rinse the tattoo with gentle soap and warm water.
- Once out of the shower, pat dry and allow to air dry for no more than 3-5 mins.
- Use a q-tip to apply a dime size amount of the aftercare ointment to each areola.
- Apply a new, non-stick pad on each area.
- Wear a loose fitting bra to hold the pad in place.
- Wear these pads until the following morning.
- Exactly the same as Day 2/3 however after cleaning the area in the shower please sit topless for 45 min. This allows the skin to completely dry out.
- After the hour, you may wear a loose fitting bra (no pads, no ointment) and get dressed.
- Do not rub, pick, touch the tattoo until healed.
- No sweating for one week (or anything that gets the heart rate up)
- Do not submerge in water for 10 days (e.g. Bath, hot tub, swimming pool, ocean etc.)
- You will have a scab form on your areola during the first week of healing. This is normal and expected. Allow the scab to fall off on its own.
- Once the scab has fallen off (and the skin is fully closed), you may begin to apply a gentle lotion to help relieve dryness and itchiness that will follow for the next 2–3 weeks.

Tegaderm Areola Aftercare Instructions
- Tegaderm, a sterile, breathable, waterproof, germ-proof barrier to protect your new tattoo. Leave the Tegaderm on for 5 DAYS – do not lift it, change it or remove it.
- The Tegaderm will protect your tattoo from infection, abrasion, irritation and contamination while it is going through the most important part of its healing. It will also protect your clothes, sheets and loved ones from coming in contact with the excess ink, blood and fluid that are the normal by-products of healing a tattoo.
- You may notice fluid building up inside the Tegaderm. This is normal. The Tegaderm is there to collect it.
- You can perform all your usual activities while the tattoo is covered with Tegaderm. Be sure not to bump or rub your new tattoo excessively, or do anything that will scrape or peel the covering off.
- Showering will not affect Tegaderm; it is reasonably waterproof. You can shower normally while healing. However, do not bathe or swim until your tattoo is fully healed (approx. 4 weeks).
- If the Tegaderm comes off by itself from day 3–5, that is fine, just don’t intentionally remove it.
- After 5 days, remove the Tegaderm by carefully peeling it off of your skin. Do not quickly tear it off, as this can cause skin irritation. The easiest way to soften the adhesive is to stand in a warm shower for several minutes and remove the covering in the shower.
- After removing the covering, rinse the tattoo thoroughly with warm water and wash using scent-free, gentle, antibacterial soap. While washing, do not use any washcloths, sponges or brushes.
- After patting your tattoo dry with a clean towel, the skin may look shiny. Allow the area to air dry for 30–45 minutes and then apply a thin layer of the supplied lotion.
- For the next week day, apply a thin layer of the supplied lotion once a day and again if it feels tight, dry, or itchy. You might notice a few layers of flaky skin peeling, this is completely normal.
- Do not sweat excessively / exercise until the tattoo is healed. This could take up to 10 days. Once there are no more visible scabs, and the area looks like normal skin again, you can resume exercise.
