First appointment

Everything You Need Before You Arrive

A clear guide to booking, preparation, healing, and what happens after your first cosmetic tattoo appointment.

Before booking

Start informed.

Check contraindications for your chosen service and ask before booking if anything is unclear.

Send clear photos of existing permanent makeup so Elle can assess whether new work is possible.

Follow the service-specific instructions for skincare, alcohol, caffeine, exercise, and medications.

Review deposits, changes, late arrivals, guests, and touch-up terms before reserving.

Save examples of the softness, shape, or color you like. They are a starting point, not a template.

The studio is kept focused and safe. Please arrange care for children and leave guests at home.

Preparation

Avoid waxing, tinting, strong exfoliation, and sunburn close to your appointment.

Remove lash extensions as directed, bring glasses, and plan not to wear contacts home.

Keep lips hydrated and discuss cold sore history before booking so you can prepare safely.

Policies

A non-refundable deposit reserves your appointment and is handled according to the booking terms.

Give the required notice when changing a date. Late changes may require a new deposit.

Arriving late shortens the available appointment and may require rescheduling for safety and quality.

Work by another artist is treated as a new assessment, not a standard touch-up.

A perfecting session may be recommended after the initial result has fully healed.

Because services and reserved time cannot be returned, completed work and deposits are non-refundable.
