What should I avoid before treatment?
Please avoid painkillers such as ibuprofen and aspirin and drinking alcohol for 48 hours before and drinking coffee on the day of treatment as this will result in more bleeding, which will in turn cause swelling, redness and longer healing time.
Can you cover up old work by another PMU artist?
This will depend on the work done. Please send photos to
and explain what changes you would like to make. I can advise if it can be worked on or would require laser removal before any new treatment.
