At DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo, we’re proud to offer the full spectrum of permanent eyebrow tattoo styles, including Microblading, Nanoblading, Ombre Powder Brows, Ombre Combo Brows, and Nano Machine Brows. No matter which technique you choose, our goal is the same: to deliver flawless results that simplify your routine and boost your confidence.

Before you arrive and after you leave, following proper care is key to achieving beautiful, long-lasting brows.

Am I Eligible for Eyebrow Tattooing?

You’re a good candidate for brow tattooing if:

• You are 18 years or older

• You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

• You are not currently taking antibiotics (see below)

• You do not have active eczema, psoriasis, or open wounds in the brow area

Have previous brow tattoos or specific skin concerns?
If you’ve had prior permanent makeup or have thin, scarred, or textured skin, please schedule a complimentary consultation so we can tailor your treatment plan.

Before Your Brow Tattoo Appointment

If You’ve Been on Antibiotics

If you’re currently taking antibiotics or have recently completed a course, please contact DAELA before your appointment. We’ll review your circumstances and determine whether your appointment should be rescheduled. Depending on the reason for treatment, medical clearance may be necessary.

Four Weeks Before Your Appointment

• Stop using retinol, salicylic acid, and acne treatments near the brows at least 4 weeks before your session

Two Weeks Before

• Avoid Botox, filler, or cosmetic injections in or around the brow area

One Week Before

• Avoid tanning, sauna use, or excessive sun exposure

• Discontinue fish oil and Vitamin E supplements. If prescribed by your doctor, consult your medical provider.

• If you’re on prescription blood thinners, talk to your doctor and refer to our FAQ for guidance

24 Hours Before

• Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment. If you take aspirin, ibuprofen, or other medications regularly, let your artist know. Never discontinue prescribed medication without guidance from your healthcare provider.

• Hydrate well to support optimal skin healing

The Day of Your Eyebrow Tattoo

• Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face

• Skip your morning coffee (we know—it’s tough, but worth it!)

• Stay hydrated—it makes a big difference

Eyebrow Tattoo Aftercare

Day 1

Let your brows rest!

• No washing, touching, or applying products on Day 1

Days 2–7

• Cleanse gently twice daily using lukewarm water and the gentle cleanser recommended by your artist. Use clean fingertips rather than a washcloth, and follow the aftercare instructions provided at your appointment.

• After cleansing, apply a small amount of aftercare ointment using a clean cotton swab

• Avoid over-moisturizing—a little goes a long way

• Keep showers short (5–8 minutes) and avoid rinsing your face directly under hot water

While Your Brows Heal

To ensure the pigment settles beautifully:

• Do not wear makeup on the brow area for 10 days

• Avoid picking, scratching, or touching the scabs

• Limit water and steam exposure to the brows

• Avoid sweating, workouts, swimming, saunas, and tanning beds

• Skip facials, waxing, threading, and exfoliating acids for at least two weeks

• Do not undergo laser light therapy near the treated area

After Healing: Keep Your Brows Looking Their Best

Your new brows will evolve over time, typically lasting 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure.

Here’s how to maintain your gorgeous results:

• Apply SPF 50+ to the brow area once fully healed

• Avoid chemical exfoliants or resurfacing treatments on or near the brows

• Keep laser treatments away from the tattooed area

• Optional: Add makeup for special occasions—your new brows are the perfect base!
