How To Properly Prepare For Your Appointment

Before you commit to booking a session, it’s very important you prepare and understand exactly what goes into the service.

PMU IS a tattoo. Whether we are using manual tools or a machine, pigment is being implanted into your skin. Your overall health and the health of your skin are very crucial for achieving optimal results.

Please make sure: 

-You’re not on any blood thinners.  Acne medication usage must have ended 6 months-1 year prior session date. Avoid ibuprofen and aspirin for 24 hours leading up. 

-You’re not using any retinols, vitamin A, chemical or physical exfoliants, or products like that which tend to make skin more sensitive. Discontinue at least 7 days prior.
- You don’t drink alcohol or caffeine 24 hours prior.
- You’re not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You don’t have a fresh sunburn or tan 

- You haven’t been vaccinated for at least 2 weeks.
- You haven’t had Botox/Dysport or other tox and fillers for at least 2 weeks.
- Plan for healing to take 7 days to 2 weeks. Any trips or activities where lots of sweating, swimming or sunshine are happening should be avoided during healing. 

- If you're getting lip blush and are prone to cold sores, please consult and/or start taking an OTC at least 3 days before session to avoid reactions or flare ups during healing.

-If you are getting lash line enhancement or eyeliner, make sure to don't have lash extensions, eye makeup, or contacts in the day of your session.

- Drink plenty of water leading up! Hydrating your body is one of the best ways to keep yourself and your skin healthy!

I want all my clients to have the best outcome possible with me. If there’s anything more I can do to make that happen, or you have any other questions before booking, you may email me at

Also, be sure to email me photos before booking if you have had previous work done elsewhere. I must make sure the old work is faded enough before new work is done. Thank You!
