-Do not wet your eyebrows for 7 days.
-Avoid working out/ excessive sweating for 7 days.
-Apply the aftercare balm provided for 7 days. This must be applied 3x per day using a clean cotton tip or finger.

-Colour healing is generally a 3-week cycle.
-Trust the process and be patient, cosmetic tattoo is a rollercoaster of emotions and the tattoo will go through many changes over the 4 week healing process.
-Week 1: They will be darker and sharper than usual.
-Week 2: Brows can look quite dull and patchy; even to the point you think the pigment is gone.
