LASH LINER

Lash Liner is anything but basic with its saturation of color packed in to the lash line to give your eye back its lacking definition. For those who don’t want to commit to an eyeliner design but want to create the illusion of thicker, fuller lashes, Lash Liner is for you.

EYELINER

Customized to your eye shape, this eyeliner style packs color in the lash line and gradually blends color above the lashes. Everything the Lash Liner has and more, eyeliner can create that “lifted eye” appearance.

*Liner styles are customized for every client to achieve desired results.

Preparing for your eyeliner procedure is very important. Not only does it play a huge role in how you heal and retain color, it also will determine how comfortable you will be during the procedure as well as how long your appointment will take.

Discontinue blood thinners. You will want to refrain from any blood thinning supplements you may be taking for 1 week prior to, as well as, the day of your appointment. (this includes but not limited to: NSAIDS, ibuprofen, aspirin, motrin, fish oil, turmeric, etc.)

In regards to blood thinning prescription medications, please be prepared to seek medical advice from your physician.

No alcohol minimum 48 hours prior to your appointment.

Limit sun exposure preferably 1 week before your appointment.

Not advised to consume caffeine before your procedure.

Don’t use retinol products or target skin treatments on or around the brow area minimum 1 week prior to appointment. Simply keep the skin clean and hydrated. More aggressive treatments (i.e. lasers, chemical peels, microdermabrasion) should be avoided 4 weeks prior. Skin healing time is required before tattooing.

Avoid botox and/or fillers on or around the brow area minimum 3 weeks before your scheduled appointment.

SPECIFIC FOR EYELINER

• Gently wash the lashes and lid area very well the night before your procedure.

• Discontinue any lash growth serums minimum 3-6 months before appointment

• If you have lash extensions, have them professionally removed minimum 2 days before your procedure. Don’t get a new set of lashes put on until minimum 2 weeks after your eyeliner procedure.

• Don’t wear contacts to your appointment. Please bring any required eyewear you may need other than contacts.

• Suggested you purchase a bottle of eyewash for home to use while healing.

*For touch up/corrective work, please submit photos for approval to bare.tattoo1@gmail.com.

*Please review Studio Policies and Candidacy before booking an appointment.

This is what to expect on appointment day…

CONSULTATION

Unless we had a personal consultation prior to booking your appointment, we will go more in depth about the style of eyeliner you are looking for. This is where your photos/reference eyeliner designs are very helpful. I will also take “before” photos of your eyes before we begin.

*I do require you to consult with me first if you want me to tattoo your eyeliner exactly how you draw them yourself, with no adjustments.

EYELINER MAPPING

Once we have discussed the design of your eyeliner, I will get the skin cleaned and prepped for the eyeliner mapping. If we are doing a Lash Liner, no design is needed. Once design is in place, we will take your “approval” pictures of the design before moving forward. From there, I will use anesthetic to get the eye area prepped for tattooing.

TATTOO TIME!

Lets make that eyeliner permanent! During the tattooing process, I do multiple passes/layers on each eye. Typically, the first pass is to secure the design and the rest of the passes are to build up color. Anesthetic is used to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. The actual tattooing process takes about 1-1/2 hours.

AFTERCARE

When we are all done the tattoo process, I will let you see the final results! We will take your “after” photos and then discuss your aftercare (listed below). When you checkout, I will give you your aftercare products to take home and use.

HEALING

Healing, on average, takes clients anywhere between 7-10 days. While healing will be different for every client, everyone can pretty much expect the following to happen:

Days 2-4 : Dark and bold

Days 4-7 : light and flaky. May even feel like you’re losing a lot of color

*While the outer layer of skin takes (on average) 7-10 days of healing, the underlying layers of skin need approximately 4-6 weeks to heal. During this time, color will gradually resurface as the layers of skin are healing. If a “perfecting session” is desired, the skin cannot be safely tattooed again until 8 weeks (2 months) after your last session.

Aftercare is rather simple so try not to overthink, however don’t forget it is open skin. Keeping products and bacteria away from the open area of the skin will help reduce the risk of irritation or possible infection.

Aftercare instructions are for the healing period only (typically 7-10 days). Once healed you may go back to your regular routine.

CLEANSE EYES 2-X A DAY.

Cleanse eyeliner (morning|night) with provided or recommended aftercare cleanser. Use a clean cotton swab and dampen the cotton swab with cleanser. Do a of couple gentle swipes over the eyeliner and lashes using a back and forth motion. Let the skin air dry, do not rinse off. Aftercare balm may be recommend to use after cleaning eyes.

If aftercare balm is recommended to use while healing, this will be provided at your appointment and explained how to use for you personally.

BLOT EYES FREQUENTLY.

With a clean tissue, blot the eyes frequently throughout the day. This is to ensure lymphatic fluid will not sit on top of the tattoo. If lymphatic fluid has time to harden and crust over the tattoo, it will pull out a lot of pigment and look very “scab-like”. During your healing process, the skin should never look “scab-like”. The latter end of the healing should only resemble a light flaky layer of skin.

KEEP EYES DRY.

It is important to keep the eyes dry as much as possible (other than when cleansing). Excessive contact with water will dilute the pigment retention in the skin. When showering/bathing, be sure to keep the eyes out of direct streaming water as this may remove unhealed skin prematurely. Use a “hand cupping” motion to protect the eyes and simply wash hair and body in the shower. Keep a clean towel close by in order to pat eyes dry if water gets on them.

Wash your face at the sink for more control. Use a damp washcloth to wet the skin around the eyes and remove facial cleanser around the eyes. (It is recommended to use a gentle facial cleanser on the skin the period of time your eyeliner is healing to avoid skin irritation.) Cleanse the eyes after cleaning your face.

KEEP EYES CLEAN.

Keep makeup and other topical products (that are NOT the recommended aftercare) off and away from the eyes for the whole time your skin is healing. (This includes facial moisturizers, retinol, etc.)

NO EXERCISING.

On the day of your procedure as well as the week while you are healing, it is not advised to be active. This could result in loss of pigment retention in the skin.

DO NOT PICK!

Touching your eyes (other than for cleansing) is not advised. Only ever touch the healing eyeliner with clean hands.

When sleeping, do not lay on your face. Sheets/pillow may pull unhealed skin prematurely causing pigment loss.

*The only thing that should touch your eyeliner the week while healing is the specified aftercare. Anything else may result in poor pigment retention in which additional sessions may be needed. This will be at an additional cost.

YOU WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE “HOW TO PREPARE” INSTRUCTIONS WHILE YOU ARE HEALING

Infection:

Infections are rare but always possible. Signs of infection include: fever, prolonged or severe pain, redness, and swelling in the immediate area, along with a warm/radiating heat sensation; sores that contain or release thick white or yellow fluid, hard red raised bumps or wounds, nausea, vomiting. If you think you have an infection seek medical attention immediately!

Price of eyeliner designs range from $200-$300 per session. Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve desired results.

*Results CANNOT be guaranteed as every client heals differently.
