PRE-PROCEDURE

As a courtesy to our valued clients, we do not require a deposit for booking and holding your appointment. Kindly provide no less than a 48 hour notice if you need to cancel so we can offer that time to other clients on our waitlist.

The following information must be reviewed and understood before any cosmetic tattoo, microneedling, or tattoo removal procedure is performed to ensure great, healed results:

- Plan on avoiding activities in which you will perspire or be submerged in water for the first 3/4 days post-procedure
- Must be off Accutane for 1 full year
- Must refrain from face wash, creams, serums, or masks that contain Fruit Acids, Lactic Acids, Retin-A, Retinol, Retinoic Acid, Retinyl Acetate/palmaitate/linoleate, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Tretinoin, Glycolic, Clindamycin, Acne treatments (prescribed or over the counter), Spironolactone, or Salicylic acid no less than six weeks prior to your appointment.  Failure to do so will result in the needle not penetrating correctly, and the ink not effectively holding. ONLY use gentle face wash, creams, and serums.
