Eyebrows Tattoo Procedure

Procedure Steps

1. Consultation & Brow Mapping

• The procedure begins with a detailed consultation where the client’s desired brow shape, color, and overall aesthetic goals are discussed.

• Using precise brow mapping techniques, the technician outlines the most flattering shape based on the client’s facial features.

• A customized pigment is selected to complement the client's skin tone and hair color.

​

2. Numbing & Preparation

• A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.

• The brow area is cleansed and prepped for the procedure.

​

3. Ombre Powder Application

• A digital tattoo machine with an ultra-fine needle is used to deposit pigment into the skin using a soft shading technique.

• The process starts with a light application at the front of the brows, gradually deepening towards the tail for a seamless ombre effect.

• The procedure typically takes 2 hours.

​

4. Healing & Aftercare

• The initial healing process lasts about 7-10 days, with full results visible after 4-6 weeks.

• The brows may appear darker and slightly swollen immediately after the procedure but will soften as they heal.

• Aftercare includes avoiding excessive moisture, applying a healing ointment, and refraining from picking at scabs to ensure optimal pigment retention.

Pre-Procedure Care

## What do I need to know before my appointment?

​

• Do not drink alcohol or caffeine 24 hours prior to your procedure.  This includes coffee, energy drinks, and caffeinated beverages.

• Please also avoid soft drinks, soda, and highly acidic beverages such as citrus juices before your appointment, as these may increase skin sensitivity and affect the procedure.

• Avoid excessive alcohol consumption before and after the procedure, as it may slow down the healing process and affect pigment retention.

• Do not take Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Niacin, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Omega-3 (Fish Oil), Ginkgo Biloba, St John's Wort, or Evening Primrose one week before your appointment unless medically necessary.  These supplements may thin the blood and compromise pigment retention.

• You may bring photos of your desired brow style for inspiration.  However, please understand that every face is unique.  As your artist, I will professionally assess your facial features, bone structure, and natural brow pattern to create a customized brow shape that best complements your face.  My goal is to provide brows that look balanced, natural, and flattering for you.

Vitamins and Supplements That May Thin The Blood

### Vitamins that may increase bleeding

• Vitamin E - one of the most common supplements that can increase bleeding

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Fish Oil) - beneficial for heart health but may thin the blood.

• Vitamin A (high doses) - may increase skin sensitivity and affect bleeding.

• Vitamin C (very high doses) - may mildly affect blood clotting in some individuals.

​

### Other supplements that may increase bleeding

• Ginkgo Biloba

• Garlic Supplements

• Ginseng

​

---

• If you are on your menstrual cycle, please inform your artist before your appointment.  Pain sensitivity may be higher during this time, and we want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible.

• Do not wax, tan, or tint the eyebrow area 3 days before your appointment.

• Avoid anti-aging treatments such as microdermabrasion, retinol, chemical peels, laser treatments, or facials 2 weeks before your procedure.

• Check the ingredients in your skincare products.  Avoid products containing AHA, BHA, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, retinol, or other active ingredients around the brow area 1 - 2 weeks before your procedure.

• No facial injections one month before the procedure.

• On the day of your appointment, avoid caffeine and exercise.  Wash your hair before your appointment since hot showers are not recommended immediately after the procedure.

​

​​​​​​​

First 7-14 Days – What To Avoid:

• Do not wet your brows for the first 5 days.

• Avoid workouts or activities that cause heavy sweating for at least 7 days.

• Do not touch, scratch, rub, or pick the scabs.  Let them fall off naturally.

• Avoid makeup around the brow area for 12 - 14 days.

• Stay away from direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and saunas.

• Avoid facials, chemical peels, laser treatments, or other facial procedures until the brows are fully healed.

• Avoid long and hot showers that can create steam.

• Avoid excessive washing or rubbing of the brows during the healing period.

• Do not consume caffeine for at least 72 hours after the procedure.

• Avoid vitamins, fish oil, or other blood-thinning supplements for 12 - 14 days unless prescribed by your doctor.

​​​​After Care - Ombre Powder Brows

Proper aftercare of your eyebrow tattoo is very important. During the first week, the tattooed area will appear significantly darker, larger, and sharper than what is expected for the final outcome. Slight swelling and redness can occur. One procedure cannot guarantee desired outcome(s). Tattoo will be much lighter and less crisp once healed. In some cases, it is necessary to review the healing process after the first procedure in order to see how clients react to the pigment. The tattoo will fade 25-40% after the first session. Therefore, we offer touch-up visit within 6-8 weeks from the date of the initial procedure. For complicated cases involving pigment lightening or colour correction, there will be an extra charge. When covering an old tattoo, there is a higher chance that more than one touch-up is necessary but each case is different. In general and in some cases, it is also possible for any client to require more than one touch-up to achieve their ideal look.​

​

AFTERCARE TIPS:

• If necessary, gently wipe around the brow area with a clean cotton pad.

• Apply a very thin layer of Polysporin once a day only if needed.

• You may take Tylenol if you experience discomfort.

• Try to sleep on your back to avoid rubbing your brows while healing.

• Keep the brow area clean and dry.

​

THE DAY OF THE TREATMENT - ABSORB:

• Gently blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess body fluid. Do this every 5 minutes for the full day until oozing has stopped. Removing this fluid prevents hardening of the body fluid.

​​

DAYS 1-7 – WASH:

• Wash daily to remove bacteria and dead skin (this does not remove the pigment )

• GENTLY wash your eyebrows each morning and night with lukewarm water and an antibacterial soap like Dial Soap. With a very light touch, use your fingertips to gently cleanse the eyebrows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is rinsed away. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or any exfoliants. 

• Allow the eyebrows to air dry

​​

DAY 1-7 – MOISTURIZE:

• Apply Aquaphor (rice grain amount) with a clean cotton swab and spread it across the treated area. ( If needed) Make sure that you do not over-apply the area, as this will suffocate your skin and delay or prevent healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin.  

​​​

​

After Care Instructions

​

Proper aftercare is extremely important for the long-term success, pigment retention, and overall appearance of your Ombré Powder Brows.

 

Please follow these instructions carefully:

• Before applying ointment, use a clean dry Q-tip to remove any existing ointment.

• Lightly dampen another Q-tip with water and gently clean the brow area.

• Pat dry with a tissue and apply a thin layer of ointment.

​

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

• Do not pick, scratch, or peel the brows.  

• Do not exfoliate or use washcloths on the brow area.  

• A cold compress may be used to reduce discomfort.  

• Avoid hot tubs, pools, steam rooms, and intense exercise for one week.  

• Avoid long hot showers and excessive steam.  

• Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for 2 weeks.  

• Avoid makeup on the brows for at least one week.  

• Avoid facial treatments for 4–6 weeks.  

• Avoid anti-aging products around the brow area.  

• Excessive alcohol consumption may slow down healing.

​

During the shedding phase, your brows may appear very light or faded.  This is completely normal.  The pigment will gradually resurface as the skin heals within 3 - 4 weeks.

​

SHOWERING:

• Limit your showers to 5 minutes to avoid creating too much steam. Keep your face/eyebrow area out of the water while you wash your body, and only wash your hair at the end of your shower. Your face should only be getting wet at the end of the shower. Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.

​

LONG TERM CARE:

• Use sunscreen daily on tattooed areas 

• Get regular touch-ups every 1 – 2 years on pigmented areas as the color will fade over time 

• Notify technicians that you have an iron-oxide cosmetic tattoo prior to receiving a chemical peel, MRI, or other medical procedures

• Notify your laser specialist to avoid targeting pigmented areas if you are planning to have any laser treatments. The lasers may cause pigment to darken.

• Avoid applying anti-aging creams, retinol products, proactive acne product, and glycolic acid on tattooed areas as continued use could cause discoloration or fading of the pigment

​​

Healing Process:

​The initial healing process take approximately 7 - 10 days.

​

However, the full healing process take 3 - 4 weeks for the skin to completely regenerate and for the pigment to settle into its true color.

​

During the healing process you may experience:

• Mild redness

• Slight swelling

• Light scabbing and flaking is normal during healing.

• Brows may appear darker during the first few days.

• After the scabs fall off, the color may appear lighter

​

The final color and results will appear in about 4 - 6 weeks.

​

These symptoms are normal and typically subside within 1 - 2 days with proper aftercare.

​​​

​

​

Touch-Up Appointment:

• Please make sure to book your touch-up appointment 5 - 6 weeks after your initial procedure.

• This appointment is important to perfect the shape, color, and overall result of your brows.

• If the touch-up is done later than 6 weeks, the pigment may fade more, which means more time and work may be needed to achieve the perfect result.

• Please remember to follow the pre-procedure instructions again before your touch-up appointment.

​​

Initial Touch-Up & Long-Term Results

For the most refined and long-lasting results, an Initial Touch-Up is required.

• The Initial Touch-Up should be completed 5 - 6 weeks after the first session.

• This appointment perfects the shape, color, and pigment retention.

​

Example pricing:

• Initial Touch-Up (5-6 weeks) -- $180

​

Appointments scheduled after 6 weeks may require:

• Additional correction
• More pigment layering
• Longer appointment time
• Adjusted pricing

​

Delayed touch-ups often require more work due to increased fading.

​

Important!  Please follow the same pre-procedure instructions before your touch-up appointment.

​

​

Annual Touch-Up Policy

Annual or delayed touch-ups are considered regular-priced services, as pigment naturally fades over time.

 

For the most refined and long-lasting results, an Initial Touch-Up is required.

• Annual touch-ups require additional pigment layering and correction.

• Pricing varies depending on time since your last appointment and pigment retention.

• The longer the time between sessions, the more work is required, and pricing increases accordingly.

• In cases of significant fading, the procedure may be treated as a new session.

​

​

Booking, Rescheduling & Cancellation Policy

• All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE.

• If you need to reschedule, please provide at least 48 hours notice so the appointment can be offered to clients on waiting list.

• Appointments cancelled, missed, or rescheduled within 48 hours will result in forfeiture of the deposit.

• In case of a verifiable emergency, a one-time courtesy rebooking may be granted at the artist's discretion.
