donation of blood
Please be aware – just like normal body art tattoos, you cannot donate blood for the next 6 months.
are you on any accutane medications?
Accutane effects the integrity of the skin & will effect the healed results & colours if treatment takes place before the minimum wait time. If you have taken a low dose of 10mg for a certain period of time, you must wait a minimum of 6 months before treatment can take place. For a higher dose of 20mg, there is a minimum 12 months wait time. For even higher doses, you will often need longer than 12 months for the skin to get back to its 'normal state'. Please contact us if you have any questions.
are you taking any blood thinning any medication or fish oil tablets?
Excess bleeding during treatment will cause poor colour retention and it will affect the healed result. If you are taking blood thinning medication for medical reasons, please contact your GP first before stopping. If taking Fish Oil tablets simply for general health and well being, please stop taking them for a minimum of 7 days prior to your appointment. You must advise Sheridan of all blood thinning medication PRIOR to booking your appointment
have you recently had any facial surgery, chemical peels, Botox or cosmetic injections?
Please discuss this with Sheridan before booking an appointment. A medical clearance may be needed by your GP before commencing a treatment.
are you pregnant or breastfeeding?
Due to safety reasons, any cosmetic tattoo treatment must be postponed until after birth. If you are breastfeeding, & wish to have a treatment, you are required to 'pump & dump' 48 hours post procedure due to the anaesthetics in the milk. We advise speaking with your GP first before making an informed decision. Topical Numbing agents are used with Lignocain 10% & Epinephrine .05%
are you on any thyroid medication or hormone replacement medication?
If you have any hormone imbalances or are actively taking any of the above types of medication, it may fade the cosmetic tattoo faster than normal. Treatment can still go ahead, but please keep this factor in mind when booking any appointment. Additional touch up appointments may be needed to keep your cosmetic tattoo looking fresh.
do you have diabetes?
If you have type 1 or type 2 Diabetes it does carry a risk when it comes to our treatments. Because our treatments create small shallow wounds, the healing of this can be complicated if your blood sugar is high.
People with uncontrolled diabetes have poor wound healing because there is less oxygen supply to the tissues and fewer blood vessels. Aside from this, elevated blood sugar makes you prone to infection, because it lowers your immune system.
In short, having diabetes does not mean you can’t have a procedure done. You just need to take ensure you have it controlled with medications. We ask that you consult with your GP first and get a clearance letter to provide if you wish to obtain treatment.
do you have HIV/AIDS?
Please discuss this with Sheridan before booking an appointment. A medical clearance will be needed by your GP before commencing a treatment.
acne, dermatitis or skin conditions in the area of treatment
If you have any skin conditions on the treatable area, treatment will have to be postponed until the area is clear.
