Pre-Care

Following these instructions prior to your appointment will help ensure that your skin is in optimal condition to achieve the best results possible, and ensure your safety, as some procedures might not be the best option for you if you have any pre-existing medical conditions. Unfortunately, not everyone is the best candidate for permanent make-up – if you have any of the conditions and/or take any of the medications listed below, permanent make-up might not be a good idea at this time. Barbie World reserves the right to turn away clients if they are deemed unsuitable for certain procedures.

You must be 18 years or older in order to get a cosmetic tattoo procedure.
