frequently asked questions
How should I prepare my eyes before my eyeliner appointment?
Proper eyeliner tattoo pre care begins with keeping the eye area calm and healthy before your appointment. Avoid sunburn, irritation, or introducing new skincare products near the eyes in the week beforehand. Arrive with clean eyes and lashes, free of makeup, creams, or lash glue so your skin is ready for treatment and safe eyeliner tattoo preparation.
Should I stop using lash serums or active skincare?
Send your lash serum name and ingredients for review. Prostaglandin-based products differ from peptide conditioners. Avoid retinol and exfoliating acids near the eyes for 7 days. Ask your prescriber before changing prescribed products.
Can I wear contacts or eye makeup to my appointment?
Avoid wearing eye makeup to your appointment if possible. If you wear contact lenses, bring your glasses so you can remove the lenses before treatment. Contacts can usually be worn again once the eyes feel comfortable after healing, following proper eyeliner PMU pre care guidelines.
Should I avoid caffeine, alcohol, or blood thinners beforehand?
For 24 hours before your appointment, avoid alcohol and caffeine. Only pause non-essential blood-thinning medicines or supplements with your clinician’s approval. Never stop prescribed or medically necessary medication without your prescriber’s advice.
What if I have sensitive eyes or allergies?
Sensitive or watery eyes are common and can still be treated safely. Let us know about any allergies, sensitivities, or eye conditions ahead of time so your appointment can be adjusted for comfort. Avoid scheduling your procedure during an active eye irritation or allergy flare if possible.
Can I get eyeliner PMU if I recently had Botox or eye treatments?
It is best to wait about 2 weeks after Botox or injections around the eyes before getting eyeliner PMU so the area is stable. If you plan Botox afterward, waiting about 2 weeks after your eyeliner appointment allows the skin time to heal first as part of responsible eyeliner tattoo pre care planning.
What if I recently had LASIK or other eye surgery?
If you recently had LASIK or another eye procedure, it is best to wait until your eyes are fully healed and cleared by your eye doctor before getting permanent eyeliner. Most clients wait at least 6 to 8 weeks, though your surgeon may recommend longer depending on healing. Following proper pre care instructions for permanent eyeliner helps ensure comfort, safety, and stable results.
