Please read below. You might not be able to safely get permanent makeup.
PREGNANT or NURSING. You are not a candidate. Although there is no medical evidence that tattooing would have any effect on an unborn child, we dont know for sure. So we suggest you err on the side of caution and come back after you deliver the baby and are no longer nursing.
UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE. Special circumstances, with parental consent may qualify.
ON ACCUTANE OR RETIN A. Topical steroids thin the skin. Depending what stage you skin is at it may be too fragile to undergo a procedure. You should get clearance from your doctor before considering permanent makeup.
ON PRESCRIPTION STRENGTH MEDS OR TREATMENTS that affect the dermal layer of the skin can affect the permanent makeup. OTC meds / treatments that can only affect the epidermis are not of much concern.
ON ANTICOAGULANTS (BLOOD THINNERS). Long term use of aspirin, ibuprofen, and some herbs reduce the clotting time resulting in increased bleeding and bruising, which will affect the implantation of pigment as well as increase the healing time.
HAVE AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE. You should get clearance from your doctor before considering permanent makeup.
DIABETIC. If you are insulin dependent you are not a candidate for permanent makeup. Healilng could be comprimised and take longer than average. Otherwise if your doctor feels your condition is under control you may request a letter stating that you are able to undergo cosmetic tattooing. Special care should be taken to prevent infection.
HAVE GLAUCOMA. You are not a candidate for eyeliner permanent makeup. Increased ocular pressure combined with pressure placed on the eye to apply eyeliner could be damaging. It is important to have this under control and/or refer to your doctor for further consent with regards to the application of eyeliner.
BLOOD DISORDERS that affect clotting such as hemophilia, sickle cell anemia and platelet disorders could interfere with the implantation of pigment, however it is possible to receive succesful implantation of permanent cosmetics.
MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE, ARTIFICIAL HEART VALVES, OR ARTIFICIAL JOINTS. or any person that requires prophylactic antibiotics before dental or other procedures will need consult their physician for treatment prior to permanent cosmetics.
HAVE ANY OTHER HEART CONDITIONS... uncontrolled high blood pressure and poor general health would be of special concern, you will need to see your Physician and discuss the procedure to gain pre-approval.
HERPES SIMPLEX... People who get fever blisters and/or cold sores may experience an outbreak after lip procedures. It is imperative that you discuss the procedure with your physician BEFORE the procedure and receive proper instruction on how to prevent an outbreak post procedure. Most physicians will offer a prescription for Zovirax or Valtrex to take prior to and after a lip procedure. This measure is to help guard against an outbreak, but it not a guaranteed measure. Should an outbreak occur after pigment implantation you will most likely lose the pigment in the area that you get a sore, resulting in uneven lip color or lip liner.
KELOID OR HYPERTROPHIC SCARRING... Persons with tendencies for this type of scarring have the same risk with tattooing also. The risk is mainly in the torso area, however, we may decide together to do a patch test to insure that you do not scar in this manor.
YOU KNOW THE STATE OF YOUR HEALTH BETTER THAN ANYONE... If you have ANY medical issues that you feel MIGHT be would be a contraindication, then I suggested you get clearance from your doctor.
Patients who have epilepsy, diabetes, hemophilia or a heart disease of any kind should have a physicians approval prior to any cosmetic tattooing procedure.
