Frequently Asked Questions

Pre-Appointment

There are several requirements that need to be met prior to your appointment. These start from 2 weeks prior to your treatment and will need to be surely followed to ensure a safe procedure and the best-healed results.

If these are not STRICTLY followed this will affect the outcome of your brows. Your skin will not hold the color as well, therefore the results we hope for will not be achieved. Note that 90% of the best results are followed by the quality of preparation and aftercare. Upon following these, the better your skin will retain the pigment:

Avoid 2 weeks prior:
- Reduce sun exposure- if you are burnt this will increase blood flow, resulting in bleeding whilst tattooing
- No solarium tanning
- No Botox
- Discontinue any use of facial products containing retinol and glycolic acid

Avoid 7 days prior:
- Fish oils
- Vitamin E
- All blood thinners: if you are on any medication and are unaware if they will thin out your blood please inform us.
- Facials & Peels
- Facial waxing & tinting
- Avoid 2 days prior:
- All caffeine: coffee, energy drinks, and tea.
- Alcohol
- Aspirin & Ibuprofen: if you really need to take it please check the ingredients prior to rule out they don’t contain any blood thinners as this will damage your brows.
- Any anti-inflammatory natural products including homeopathic, vitamins, and spices.

Preparation on the Day

Here are a few steps we’d like you to follow prior to your appointment on the day.
1. On the day, please avoid exercise
2. To avoid the disturbances of noise or discomfort, we recommend bringing headphones to wear throughout your appointment.
3. Please complete the tattoo consult form prior to your appointment, this is sent to you via text message with a link to complete.
4. We also ask for you to arrive early or on time as late clients may risk losing their appointments as well as their deposits. Total Brow is booked back to back and does not allow time for any later than 15 minutes after your scheduled appointment.

Tattoo Aftercare

All your aftercare instructions will be provided in-depth on the day. This will consist of a 2-week care process after your treatment. Abiding by the pre-care and after-care instructions is important as it contributes to 90% of the results your ombre tattoo brows can achieve. For the two weeks after your appointment please make sure you do not have any commitments or events at this time as your skin will be healing and you are unable to put makeup on and get your skin wet in this period (this includes excessive sweating).

On the day of your initial appointment once your appointment is completed we will provide you with the aftercare instructions as well as a pamphlet with instructions. As well as the necessary cream to heal your freshly tattooed brows.

Booking your touch-up appointment is your own responsibility so please make sure you book this within a 3-month period of getting your first tattoo done as if it is not done at this period prices do increase.

Healing Process

The healing process takes about 14 days to post your tattoo appointment to fully heal. However, at this time you may experience flaking and scabbing. This lasts for a short period and after this, your brows will have achieved the amazing ombre effect and color will continue to become true to color.

How often do I need a touch-up?

Ombre brow touches up are only needed every 1-2 years depending on skin type.
