    *Right after procedure the tattooed area will begin to oxidize, appear darker and thicker due to swelling. The bold color can last up to 10 days depending on your body's healing rate however will soften once the tattoo enters the next phase of the healing process. During the initial phase of healing you may experience minimal scabbing and flaking of the tattooed area - DO NOT pick at it! Picking at a healing tattoo will result in color loss and excess scarring. Once the area has flaked there will be a brand new layer of skin that will appear shiny or "foggy" that will make the pigment look lighter - don't panic! The complete healing process takes about 6-8 weeks for your skin to regenerate and exfoliate, around this time the true color of your eyeliner will be apparent. After 6 weeks touch ups and adjustments may be done.

    Eyelids are quite delicate so experiencing swelling and minimal redness is common and will diminish over the first few days after your treatment. You may use a cold compress or Benadryl to sooth or reduce swelling. Eyes may feel dry or irritated so you may use lubricating eye drops. Be sure to have sunglasses available because your eyes may be light sensitive. Try to avoid wearing contacts for 3-5 days after the procedure.
