Eyebrow Tattoo Before Care:

DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo is pleased to offer this comprehensive guide encompasses all types of permanent eyebrow tattoos, including Microblading, Nanoblading, Ombre Powder Brows, Ombre Combo Brows, and Nano Machine Brows. To ensure a successful eyebrow tattoo experience, consider the following criteria and steps:

1. Eligibility: You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you should be 18 years or older to undergo eyebrow tattooing.
2. Previous Tattoos or Skin Conditions: If you have prior eyebrow tattoos or specific skin conditions like heavy scarring, textured or bumpy skin, or very thin skin, a consultation is required for tailored advice.

For example: If you are on a 14-day antibiotic cycle then your appointment should follow no sooner than 14-days after you have completed your antibiotics. If you have a booked appointment and it becomes necessary to take antibiotics, please call us and reschedule using this time frame guideline!
