THE VISUAL APPEARANCE
THE CHANGES THEY WILL GO THROUGH 

Change 1 (First 1-5 days from initial treatment) 

 

Expect it to be:

• Tender/Redness/swollen

• Weeping (lymph fluid)

• Dry and quite/really itchy

• Very dark, almost 50% darker than what it will be after a weeks time.

• Can look very red/purple.

 

Change 2 (5-10 days from initial treatment)

 

‘The patchy look’

 

Before the scabs flake away after a week or so...

Your body will have grown a new layer of skin, underneath these scabs but over the area

which has been tattooed (which means, of course, you cannot visibly see this new layer of

skin as it is in the middle of what you can see and what is underneath your skin)

The reason for this is because your body is trying to protect an open wound from becoming infected.

 

It protects this by simply growing a new layer of skin over it as quickly as possible … because the old skin that was there, has obviously been broken into (caused by tattooing and breaking the skin), so your body detects this as something that isn't meant to happen and needs to grow more skin on top of the area as soon as possible... which isn't the scabs you can visibly see!

 

I'm assuming if you are reading this for the second time, you are after reassurance, as you

are probably at the stage where not all the scabs have come off, and the parts where the

scabs have come off, it will look as though there is barely any tattoo left..

 

But please do not panic! The contrast between the darker scabs (as explained

in stage 1) compared to the lighter areas (as described above) will appear like

a massive noticeable patch, but it is not! And the colour WILL come back…

 

If you haven't done anything to knock that scab off or you haven't woken up with any

missing scabs which are still on your pillow then you can guarantee the colour 100% will come back!

 

And just in case you are thinking about sending me a picture... I am already aware that there are massive gaps, and it looks like there is 'no tattoo left'.

 

Change 3 (14-28 days from initial treatment)

 

At this point, the new layer of skin will be starting to shed away, making the tattoo more

visible; you will not see this new baby skin shed away, unless you are under a microscope!

 

However you will wake up one morning and all of a sudden you will see your lips a lot darker!

 

The Lips will still be 20% - 30% lighter than what you left with on initial treatment, which is

to be completely expected, but they won't be as light as what they looked a week before!

As this treatment is a TWO PART PROCESS.

 

You need 2 treatments to achieve the results you left with on your first treatment, as your skin will only do its job and try to force anything foreign out of the body.

Therefore, two layers of pigment is required for it to form a strong enough bond to

withstand your body trying to push it out through scabbing.

 

Please bare in mind that the following is to be expected:

​

• Patches/gaps (the scabs are only delicate, and can come off, pulling some colour out with it, by a simple knock either accidental, or tossing in your sleep)

• One side darker/lighter than the other (depending on which side you sleep on)

• Colour fluctuations (depending on your skin's natural undertone.. I.e sallow skinned, fair complexion, warm/cool tone... Will depend on the outcome of the colour. In most cases, the area will heal with slight tints of cool tones, This is because 80% of caucasian women have a blue/cool undertone, therefore no matter what colour pigment is placed on their skin, they are at risk of turning cool.

• However the technician will have used a counter colour on your skin to prevent it from turning cool, so this may not happen... But if it has still healed quite cool, please don't be alarmed as it is a simple process to turn it back to the desired colour on your top up... This is the same simple theory as using purple shampoo to get rid of yellow tones in blonde hair!)
