Aftercare

Pre/AfterCare

Please note that every client's skin will respond differently. Both in the length of time it takes to heal, and in the number of sessions it takes for your desired results and color retention. This information acts as a guideline only and we cannot guarantee results on anyone. Your results and longevity of your tattoo depends greatly on your aftercare during the healing process and beyond.

How to get ready for the procedure?

- Do not pick/tweeze/wax one week before procedure

- Do not tan two weeks prior or have sunburned face
- Do not have any type of facial/peel 2 weeks prior to treatment
- Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol products one month prior.
- Do not work out the day of the procedure.
- Do not have botox 3 weeks prior
- Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E two weeks prior (natural blood thinners)
- Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days before the procedure.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:
- Do not drink alcohol 24 - 48 hours before your tattoo
- Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood)

Why do I need a touch up?

Skin can be an unpredictable canvas, and retention can vary from person to person. Touch ups are necessary to visibly assess how your color looks healed , and gauge how the look is meeting your personal expectations. You may need several touchups, jealousy cannot guarantee

Any results especially lips if you have fillers in the lips as the pigment is absorbed into it and can give a patchy appearance.

How long does it last?

The pigment can last for up to 1 - 3 years. Lighter colors will fade faster than the darker colors. It's all depending on your lifestyle and skin type - each body is so unique! To maintain your permanent makeup, touch ups are recommended every 10 months to 2 years.

Does it hurt?

We use strong topical anesthetic used to numb before and during procedure for your comfort. However sensitivity differs from person to person. Please do not take any blood thinners such as Ibuprofen and Aspirin 24 hours before your procedure.

Do you shave off my eyebrows?

NO! Although we sometimes clean up around the brow, and change the shape if needed, we keep the brow hair where they are for the most natural outcome.

Do I book for just a touch-up if I've had permanent makeup done somewhere else?

No! If you're a new client to our studio, you have to book as a new brow appointment. If you have previous work that needs to be covered, you have to email us a clear photo to make sure we are comfortable enough to take on the job. Please contact us for more information if you're looking for us to work over previous tattoo.

Can I get tattooed while pregnant?

No! We will not tattoo anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can I bring my kids to my appointment?

No! Because we are a tattoo parlor, you have to be above the age of 18 to be in the studio. We like to keep any distractions to a minimum so we can only focus on you during your appointment time. Plus, this is your mommy time!

Can I Bring a Friend or Family member to my appointment?

Yes, but not into the treatment area. CDC and OSHA guidelines will not allow any observers in the procedure area during the procedure process. If you need help communicating, please bring someone with you to assist in this communication. This person will need to be present for the entire procedure. If you don’t bring someone with you and WE find it difficult to communicate, we will have to reschedule and you will forfeit your deposit. A new deposit will be required up front, before we will re-schedule you.

Can I Donate Blood in NJ After Getting my Brows Microbladed or Microshaded (Cosmetically Tattooed)?

Yes. All New Jersey Tattoo Parlors are Licensed and Inspected. We at Jealousy Go through 2 yearly certification classes. One for Bloodborne Pathogens and Barbacide Covid 19 Certification. Jessa our Founder also Holds her CPR/AED and Standard First Aid Certifications. FDA guidelines allow volunteer blood donations from potential donors with a tattoo one year after application, IF the state where the tattoo was applied does not inspect and license these facilities. If the state does inspect and license tattoo parlors, the donor is eligible as soon as the tattoo site heals, usually within 1-2 weeks. Each blood collection facility is allowed to implement guidelines more strict than the FDA, so please contact your local facility for specific eligibility guidelines.
