What You Must Know Post Eyeliner Tattoo Treatment

The area on your eyelids and around your eyes may feel a little tender within the first 48 hours. Some may experience a little redness on the eyelids too, which generally will disappear within a few hours or so.

It is extremely important that you remember not touch, scrub, scratch or pick at your eyes for 24 hours post eyeliner tattooing. This is because the inside of your eyes may still be numb from the Anaesthetics, which means that you won’t be able to feel if you have torn the delicate corneal areas within.

Fresh eyeliner tattoo will appear a lot darker and thicker than the final healed results, which takes place at between 6-8 weeks time. This is due to a 3 main reasons, the slight post treatment swelling, the Anaesthetics used during the treatment, and the fact that all cosmetic tattoo will shrink in size and fade in colour during the healing process.

  • Day 1-2 – DO NOT touch your eyes under any circumstances
  • Day 1-7 – NO makeup directly on your eyeliner tattoos

  • Day 1-14 – Sleep with a clean pillow case, on your back rather than stomach or sides
  • Avoid touching the eye areas with unclean hands or at all
  • DO NOT pick, pull, scratch your eyeliner tattoos. Allow the scabs (if any) to form and fall off naturally
  • If the eyeliner tattoos get too dry, stretched, or itchy, apply a rice grain sized of the healing cream satchel provided in your care bag
  • Be sure to book in your touch up session for between 6-8 weeks from the initial treatment date
