Can I Get Tattooed If I Have Recently Used Retinol or Strong Skincare Products on the Area?
I do not tattoo over skin that is currently being treated with retinol, strong acids, peeling products, or similar active skincare without medical clearance.
These products can significantly affect the skin, and the safe amount of time to stop using them can vary depending on the product, strength, and your skin.
Please ask your dermatologist or prescribing doctor how long you should stop the product before getting tattooed. Once they confirm the area is safe to tattoo and the skin has fully returned to normal, we can continue with the appointment.
