· If you donate blood, it is a Red Cross policy that you must wait one year after any tattooing procedure.
· If you are planning a chemical peel, MRI or other medical procedure, please tell them that you have had an iron-oxide cosmetic tattoo.
· If you are planning to have laser hair removal on your upper lip or a Photo Facial with an IPL you must tell your laser specialist that you have permanent make up so this area can be avoided by the laser. Both ablative and non-ablative lasers may or will cause pigment to turn black.
