    RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SEMI-PERMANENT PROCEDURE

    INTERPRETING CLIENT HISTORY FORMS- CONTRAINDICATIONS

    The new stringent client health forms have come about due to the recent problems with therapists using too much topical Anaesthetics on their clients without having knowledge of their existing medical health and knowledge of what can happen if too much Anaesthetic gets into the blood stream. Whilst this appears very involved it will stop people in the industry without training causes health problems in their clients.

    Diabetes: Clients who are diabetic have a slower healing time and we recommend checking with their doctor before a procedure.
    Blood Thinners: Clients will bleed and this will hamper the pigment staying in the skin. Ask clients when booking for their procedures. They will need to be off their medication for at least 7 days, always get them to check with their Doctor.
    Aspirin and Fish Oil capsules: Both thin the blood. Advise stopping at least 7-10 days before their procedure. Once again this thins the blood.
    Heart Palpitations: Any anaesthetic we use can go into the blood stream, advice clients if they suffer from palpitations that they may experience this especially if they are nervous and stressed.
    High Blood Pressure: Client should check with their Doctor.
    Lupas, Haemophilia,Disease of nerves or muscles, Autoimmune condition and seizures are all contraindiciations
    Facial Surgery: Do not work on an area of the face that has had surgery within 3 months.
    Pregnancy: Do not work on any client who is pregnant as anaesthetic can have unwanted effects.
    Breast Feeding: Do not work on clients anaesthetic can pass through the blood system to the baby
    Glaucoma: Check with their Doctor.
    Eye Disorders: The likes of an infection, do not work on the eye areas till clear.
    Lash Enhancement Serum: Client must stop using for at least 3 months as this product thickens the actual skin of the eyelid and presents a barrier to our pigments.
    Cold Sores: Do not work on clients with an active cold sore and advise taking an oral tablet Famvir Collagen Injections and Fillers: Both present barrier to colour holding.
    Vitamins: Many vitamins thin the blood ask clients to stop for at least 7 days prior

    Section I – Allergies:

    We would prefer that no one in our offices ever have an allergic reaction, but they do occur. This list is an effort to head off reactions to common allergens.
    Tetracaine and lidocaine are anaesthetics which may cause reactions when used topically as they enter the blood stream they can make the heart race with palpitations.
    Metals especially nickel and foods are other common allergens. With the increased marketing of organic pigments, those allergic to fruits or vegetables could conceivably react if these plants are used as pigments.
    Choose iron oxide for safer results.
    It is important to know the type of reaction your client has – localised hives, allergic contact dermatitis, or generalised hives with difficulty breathing and/or fainting. Obvious agents which cause reactions should be avoided.

    Section II – Eyes:

    A few points here:
    Contact lenses should be removed prior to the application of cosmetic tattoos as pigment could get underneath the lens and cause corneal abrasions.

    Those with dry eyes may need additional rinsing after tattooing and lubrication for a few days after. Every client should have an individual eye drop placed in their eyes before during and after any eye procedure.

    Lash Enhancement Serum will place a barrier within the skin. The client will need to be off this for at least 8 weeks prior to the treatment.

    Section III – Lips:

    Lips are especially sensitive and great care should be taken to get to know your client’s history prior to any lip work.
    Lips that are inflamed for any reason – chapped lips, collagen or fat injections, may not take pigment as well as normal lips and can become worse.
    Tattooing can reactivate these herpetic infections and allow spread over the entire tattooed area. Clients, who suffer from this complaint, should be made aware of this. You should also advise that they should be taking a preventive medicine.

    Section IV – Skin:

    Skin issues should always be considered.
    Problems with prior tattoos, for example, allergic reactions or failure to take pigment, should alert you to the possibility of these occurring again.
    Herpes, Shingles, Keloid scars, Moles are all contraindications Tanning by any method will fade some pigment colours and will speed the loss of others. Individuals who tan easily may manifest hyperpigmentation in the area tattooed. Generally, this fades on its own over weeks to months, but can in many cases be prevented by use of topical agents such as Retin A, hydroquinone, and broad-spectrum sunscreens. Retin A should probably be avoided after tattooing until the area is healed.
    Retin A may cause some irritation and inflammation and lead to decreased pigment absorption. The same is true for any potentially drying or irritating topical product.
    The history of chemical or laser peeling is quite important. These peels may cause prolonged inflammation on the skin, may leave hyper- and hypo- pigmentation, or cause scarring. Inspect this skin carefully before tattooing. In addition, you should counsel your clients that peels after tattooing will probable cause the pigment to lighten.
    Any scar that remains pink or red, has not completely matured and is therefore subject to further change.
    You should only work on mature, pale white scars.

    Section V – General Medical:

    medical issues should be analysed if unsure seek the client’s Doctors permission.
    Blood thinning drugs, clotting disorders, and high blood pressure may cause excessive bleeding AS WILL FISH OIL CAPUSLES.
    Diabetics and those with autoimmune disorder may manifest poor wound healing. For diabetics, this is especially true if their blood sugar is poorly controlled.
    Clients with mitral valve prolapse, artificial heart valves or artificial joints are often placed on prophylactic antibiotics during dental or surgical procedures to prevent these valves and prosthetics from becoming infected. If your client uses antibiotics when visiting the dentist, she/he should be on antibiotics for cosmetic tattooing as well. If in doubt, call your client’s physician and ask what they would like to do in this situation.
    “Palpitations” is a layman’s term for cardiac arrhythmias. Generally, those who have significant arrhythmias are aware of this and may be on medication. Others may simply feel pounding in their chest, which may happen with stress or pain. Make an extra effort to help these clients relax and minimise their level of stress.
    Accutane has been reported to increase the risk of hypertrophic scar formation after chemical peels and dermabrasion. Allow 6 months before tattooing these clients.
