Pain: There is a possibility of pain or discomfort even after the topical anesthetic has been used. Anesthetics work better on some people than others.

Infection: Although rare, there is a risk of infection. The areas treated must be kept clean and only freshly cleaned hands should touch the areas. See “Maintenance and Aftercare” sheet for instructions on care.

Uneven Pigmentation: This can result from poor healing, infection, bleeding or many other causes. Your follow up appointment will likely correct any uneven appearance.

Asymmetry: Every effort will be made to avoid asymmetry but our faces are not symmetrical so adjustments may be needed during the follow up session to correct any unevenness.

Excessive Swelling or Bruising: Some people bruise and swell more than others. Ice packs may help and the bruising and swelling typically disappears with 1-5 days. Some people don’t bruise or swell at all.

Anesthesia: Topical anesthetics are used to numb the area to be tattooed. Lidocaine, Prilocaine, Benzocaine, Tetracaine and Epinephrine in a cream or gel form are typically used. If you are allergic to any of these please inform me now.

The alternative to these possibilities is to use cosmetics and not undergo Microblading procedure.
