PROCEDURE DAY: WHAT TO EXPECT
At the beginning of our meeting, before photos will be taken of the procedure area(s). You will be asked to complete paperwork that consists of Client Medical History and Consent forms for your file. Also, don’t forget to bring your driver’s license / photo id. The procedure will not be performed if you do not have a driver’s license / photo id. The identification verifies a person is at least 18 years of age and is a requirement of the State of Utah to receive a tattoo.
Once the preliminary paperwork is done, THEN THE FUN BEGINS! We’ll discuss your preferences, personal needs, colors and shapes. It is so important to me that each brow, eyeliner and lip is customized to work with your skin tone, face structure and even your personality to help enhance your natural beauty.
If you have photos bring them with you. Bring your favorite colored powder, pencil or liquid makeup. We will look at them and ensure it’s the proper color for your procedure. If you have a way you like to do your make up, come with your makeup already applied so I can see it. Know that, while a certain amount of anxiety is totally normal, DON’T WORRY, JUST RELAX and know that we will work together until you are absolutely comfortable with all decisions before proceeding with the procedure!
TOPICAL ANESTHETICS: Twenty five to thirty minutes prior to the procedure, a topical anesthetic will be applied. During the numbing process, just lay back and relax. Once the procedure has started, additional topical will be applied in between each pass to help control discomfort. Although every person’s pain tolerance is different, almost every client agrees that the procedures are much more tolerable than originally anticipated.
PAIN, ANXIETY AND OTHER MEDICATIONS: You may ask your doctor if there are medications that you can take, such as Benedryl, Tylenol, Zanax or Valium prior to this procedure to help you relax or control discomfort If you feel you need to.
Also, please refrain from taking alcohol or any medications that thin the blood such as aspirin. However, do not discontinue any prescriptions without your doctors’ approval first.
Sterilization Safety Is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME
YOUR SAFETY: I CAREFULLY follow sterilization guidelines to help eliminate the possibility of cross-contamination. Universal Precautions are practiced in order to minimize potential infectious risks for the clients and technicians. Strict sanitation and sterilization guidelines are followed by cleansing surfaces with a viricidal/germicidal agents before and after each procedure. New disposable gloves, sterile disposable needles, tubing and pen parts are used for each client. Following each procedure, disposable parts are inserted into properly labeled biohazard containers.
