MEDICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR COSMETIC TATTOO, PERMANENT MAKEUP, & MEDICAL PIGMENTATION


The following medical conditions require special consideration before any permanent makeup procedures. Clients with any of these conditions should contact their doctor/physician to determine if it will be safe to have a permanent cosmetic procedure. In some cases, we may ask for a physicians release. *We have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reasons. Booking deposits are Non-Refundable, so it is crucial to have everything cleared prior to your procedure!!!*

* Diabetes. Healing could be compromised with higher risk of infection. As a safety precaution, we cannot take clients with these conditions.
* Glaucoma. Increased intraocular pressure combined with pressure placed on the eye to apply eyeliner could be damaging. Book at own risk.
* Bleeding disorders. Blood disorders that affect clotting such as hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, platelet disorders. As a safety precaution, we cannot take clients with these conditions.
* Mitral Valve Prolapse, Artificial Heart Valves, Artificial Joints. Any condition that requires prophylactic antibiotics before dental or other procedures will need to take them before micropigmentation also. We would need clearance from your doctor/physician.
* Herpes Simplex. People who get fever blisters / cold sores may experience an outbreak after lip procedures. Antiviral prescription such as Zovirax should be taken.  Book at own risk.
* Pregnancy & Nursing. As a safety precaution, we cannot take clients with these conditions.
* Keloid or Hypertrophic Scarring. Persons with tendencies for this type of scarring have that risk with tattooing as well. Book at own risk.
* Use of certain Medications. Accutane: As a safety precaution, we cannot take clients with these conditions. Retin-A, topical steroids can make skin fragile. Physician strength meds / treatments that affect the dermal layer of the skin can affect the permanent make-up. OTC meds / treatments that only affect the epidermis and are not much concern. Anticoagulants (blood thinners), long-term use of aspirin, ibuprofen, and some herbs reduce clotting time resulting in increased bleeding and bruising and may result in poor color retention, book at own risk.
* Heart conditions, Uncontrolled High Blood Pressure, Poor general health. As a safety precaution, we cannot take clients with these conditions.
* Any treatment, medication, or illness that compromises the immune system / healing would make you NOT a good candidate for micropigmentation procedures. As a safety precaution, we cannot take clients with these conditions.

* Undergoing Chemotherapy. As a safety precaution, we cannot take clients with these conditions. Clients who have gone through chemotherapy in the past would need doctor/physician's clearance prior to consultation and booking. We would be honored to provide you with our services.

* Lips that have been injected with fillers may not hold color well. Restylane injected superficially near the lip edge has caused migration or feathering to occur along the lip line if the Restylane was placed within months before lip permanent makeup application. There has not been a problem if the lips permanent makeup is healed first, then the lip filler injected second. However, the person that injects the lip filler might cause the lip edges to become uneven if even a tiny bit more is shot into one side. Lips that have been injected with liquid silicone risk disruption of the capsular formation holding the micro droplets in place due to stretching and pressure applied for the permanent lip color procedure. Loss of liquid injectable silicone may occur, and all risks associated with free silicone applies if this happens. The mouth is full of germs and saliva will contact all the open holes made by the tattooing and lip implants may become infected. Consult with your injector first and book at own risk.
