Make sure your hands are completely clean and gently apply the post-care oil (coconut unless allergic) and make sure skin is completely dry before applying ( Do not apply oil to damp skin), apply after cleansing, twice a day.

Picking, pecling, or scratching of the micro pigmented area in order to avoid
scarring of the area or removal of the pigment

Please wash the area gently with clean hands, During showering, keep your face away
from the showerhead or take a bath.
Itching and flaking may appear during the first seven days post-procedure. However,
experience has shown that by following these after-care instructions, these symptoms may
quickly disappear.
If you have any unexpected problems with the healing of the skin, please contact Natalie
Mendes immediately, to discuss further instructions.
Contact a physician if any signs or symptoms develop such as the following: fever, redness
at the site, swelling, tenderness of the procedure site, elevated body temperature, red
streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, and/or any green/yellow
discharge that is foul in odor.
What to Expect During and After Your Session
Entire healing process will take from 4-6 weeks depending on your body regeneration
and age. Your new tattoo will go through several phases during the healing cycle.
The pigment will appear very natural looking immediately after the procedure. The color
of the pigment will appear much darker the next day.
Note that because of natural skin regeneration, after recovery period (peeling), the area
might appear lighter than original. This might give you the impression that color is fading
too quickly. Often even with proper care, clients may lose original pigment which makes
the area look uneven. It is absolutely normal. That's is the reason why most clients need a
touchup atter 6 weeks.
Once the healing of the skin starts taking place, it will look like dandruff flakes or dry skin.
However, this is just superficial color and dry skin being naturally removed from the area
treated. The final look will be apparent approximately 30 days after your procedure.
Never rub the treated area as it will disturb the skin from natural healing.
Once completely healed, always apply a layer of sunscreen SPF 30 up to SPF jo on the
area when exposed to the sun. Sun exposure might cause the color pigment to fade away
more quickly. When using foundation, be aware when applying to avoid the area. If
foundation covers healed area your treated area will appear lighter.
