Before YOUR APPOINTMENT
Please avoid any sun exposure, including tanning beds and tanning lotions prior to your appointment. Scar camouflage may not be performed on tanned skin, but should be done on your most natural skin color for colour-matching purposes.
If you have undergone laser treatments or other skin resurfacing treatments, it is important to wait a minimum of 4 weeks prior to your tattoo appointment.
If you are being treated with Accutane, you must wait a minimum of 6 months after you’re done with your medication before you get your paramedical tattoo.
