The main preparation for tattooing begins with the rejection of products that increase blood pressure, alcohol. TSuch dietary restrictions are established 2-3 days before the scheduled date of visiting the salon. When treating with drugs against blood clots, tattooing cannot be done. It is worth completing therapy or abandoning the creation of a permanent if it is assigned for life.

At the preparatory stage, when applying the permanent, the skin of the eyelids and around the eyes is eliminated from traces of decorative cosmetics, degreased. The area chosen for tattooing is treated with antiseptic compounds. Then, a sketch of an arrow is drawn on the surface of the eyelid using a special marker.

The next stage of preparation is anesthesia. It is applied topically, in the form of a gel or cream. This measure is necessary, since the skin of the eyelids is very thin and sensitive, the procedure without anesthesia will be extremely painful. The waiting time from the moment the gel or cream is applied is about 15 minutes.

The work of a master in the field of tattooing involves the use of special equipment. The entire procedure is performed with a stylus-like apparatus with thin replaceable needles and toner inside. The average duration of creating an arrow with shading elements on one eye is from 30-40 minutes.

Carrying out the procedure for tattooing the eyelids with arrows using the shading technique implies a certain procedure. The step-by-step procedure is as follows.

1. Pigment is injected over the applied contour. First, the space between the eyelashes is filled, then the entire contour.
2. The base arrow is colored.
3. Feathering in progress. Neat strokes are applied along the borders of the drawing. They are vertically oriented. The strokes are made very thin and small to achieve a blur effect.
4. The skin of the eyelids is covered with a special healing cream.

When applying preliminary marker lines, it is important to select the shade of the rod that matches the color of the pigment selected for the arrow. This will avoid negative chemical reactions. A month after the procedure, the master will assess the healing result. If gaps appear, low brightness of the pigment may need correction.

In the first days after tattooing, the eyelids do not look very aesthetically pleasing. Swelling, redness and swelling persist for 3 to 5 days. Healing completely takes 3 to 4 weeks. The brightness of the pigment will decrease after a week, when the crusts come off the surface of the eyelid.

A properly organized rehabilitation period significantly reduces the risks of complications arising from eyelid tattooing. The master will definitely give recommendations after the session. Here is a list of them.

• Avoid contact with water on the first day. Washing in general will have to be abandoned for 3 days. But from 2 days it is allowed to wipe the eyelids with cosmetic milk with a mild neutral composition.

• Do not touch drying crusts. This moment is very important, because the scaly areas are very itchy due to skin regeneration, you want to scratch them, removing the source of discomfort. This should not be done, otherwise the tattoo may turn out to be intermittent, with an uneven distribution of pigment under the skin.

• Do not lift weights, avoid strenuous physical activity. Working in the garden, going to the gym or carrying children for up to 7 days is best left to other family members.
