  • Appointment prep

    Exfoliate the area for a week prior to your appointment with a sugar scrub

    Ensure your lips are throughly hydrated days prior to your appointment

    If you have any history of cold sores you will want to get an antiviral prescription and begin taking the medication a week prior to your tattoo appointment. Cold sore outbreaks can be triggered by stress or trauma to the skin meaning lip blush will likely cause an outbreak if you are a carrier and can compromise the results of your tattoo if not properly medicated beforehand.

    No botox or filler in the area for 4 weeks prior

    Avoid sun tanning the week before the procedure

    Avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours prior to your appointment

    Avoid Advil and other blood thinners 24-48 hours prior to your appointment unless otherwise instructed by your doctor
