Am I Candidate for PMU?

AM I CANDIDATE FOR PMU?

Under 18

Must be 18 or older. Even with parental consent we cannot tattoo anyone under 18.

Pregnant or Nursing

Hormonal changes during this time can affect retention. Another concern, although small, is the risk of contracting an infection.

Allergies

If you have allergies to metals or colorants you are ineligible. Please disclose any allergies to epinephrine, lidocaine, or any numbing agents. Although small, there is a risk of immediate allergic reaction or a delayed reaction.

Skin Conditions

Unfortunately not everyone is a good candidate, the following skin conditions make you ineligible. Severe acne - we cannot tattoo over inflamed or compromised skin Accutane - this medication alters the state of your skin making it thin and sensitive. You must wait a full year after stopping accutane before you can receive the procedure. Skin disorders - Rosacea, eczema, keratosis, psoriasis, any skin condition in the brow area where the skin is compromised may make you ineligible for the procedure. The texture of the skin may lead to poor results. Keloid Scarring - If you are prone to keloid scarring you are ineligible. Because of the nature of the procedure, the puncture or cutting may lead to keloid scars.

Medical Conditions

Unfortunately the following medical conditions make you ineligible Compromised immune system - because the risk of developing an infection is higher in people with compromised immune systems, conditions such as Lupus, individuals who have undergone an organ transplant, individuals with viral infections or diseases or undergoing chemotherapy make you ineligible. Major heart problems or pacemaker -We use epinephrine as a numbing agent that can increase your heart rate, possibly causing dysrhythmias. Surgeries in the brow area - in the last 3 months, (i.e. facelift, brow lift, blepharoplasty, etc.) You must wait until fully healed and cleared by your surgeon. Diabetes - If your blood sugar levels are not in range the tattoo may not heal properly or quickly, increasing the risk of infection. You MUST have written consent from the doctor. Other Although extremely rare, we may refuse to perform your procedure if our desired outcomes are not lined up. Please do not book if you are unsure, extremely nervous, or are feeling pressured or forced to get the procedure done. It is not my place to convince you. Please make an informed decision before booking. Please look through the rest of the FAQ’s so that you make an informed decision and plan accordingly before booking.
