5 reasons why you shouldn’t get cosmetic tattooing

Are You Hesitant About Getting Your Brows Done? Here's Why You Might Want to Hold Off 🤓

Are you contemplating getting your brows or any semi-permanent treatment, but keep talking yourself out of it? Let me give you five reasons why you might want to wait before taking the plunge.

1. Anxiety and Depression

If you suffer from anxiety or depression, it's best to avoid cosmetic tattooing for now. The healing process and aftercare can be challenging, and it's important to be in the right mindset to handle it. Instead, focus on self-care activities like meditation, yoga, or speaking with professionals to improve your mental health before considering cosmetic tattooing. 🧘🏻‍♀️🙏🏼

2. Pregnancy or Breastfeeding

Tattooing is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. While it hasn't been extensively tested, it's better to be safe than sorry. Prioritise your and your baby's health first. 🤰

3. Recent Skin Treatments

If you've recently had peels, lasers, or microdermabrasion on or around the area you want to tattoo, wait at least 4 weeks. This ensures your skin is fully healed and ready for the cosmetic tattooing process. 🧖

4. Active Skin Care Ingredients

Using products with active ingredients like retinol, vitamin A, or Accutane? You'll need to wait at least six months after discontinuing their use. These ingredients thin the skin and can hinder the healing process.🧴

5. Existing Brow Tattoos

If you have an old brow tattoo that's more than 5 years old, consider undergoing a few sessions of laser removal or using saline or glycolic acid removal methods. Removing old pigment ensures a clean canvas, allowing your artist to create the most natural-looking brows for you.

By understanding these important factors, you can make an informed decision about when is the best time for you to get cosmetic tattooing done. Focus on your overall well-being and ensure your skin is in its best condition for the most beautiful results.🔥

And these are the only reasons why I wouldn’t recommend getting cosmetic tattooing done. Worrying about whether it will suit you or if the color will be right is nothing to be concerned about. Cosmetic tattooing is designed to look natural, and your artist will ensure that the treated area is measured to perfectly suit your facial features.

I recommend booking consultations in a few studio you like, the one you feel most comfortable and confident with, GO WITH THAT!!
