Caring for Your Gems
Aside from practicing good oral hygiene, be sure to follow the protocols listed below to make your gems last:
-
Avoid eating any foods for 2 hours after your gem application. You'll want to make sure that you do NOT eat any "tough" foods, such as corn and hard candy, for at least 48 hours.
-
Drink only water for the first two hours. Avoid highly acidic drinks during the first 12 hours.
-
Avoid using an electric toothbrush on your tooth with the gem. You may brush around but exercise caution and be gentle.
-
When you use floss be careful not to tug or pull the gem with the string.
-
Cigarette Smokers: Be advised that smoking accelerates the breakdown of molecular bonds in adhesives. Please read the 3-Month Guarantee Policy in the Policy section below before booking an appointment.
Maintaining Your Lip Blush
Thorough Post-Care Instructions will be provided to you on the day of your appointment; however, these protocols are recommended to help you maintain your results past the initial healing stage:
-
It is strongly recommended that you do NOT use any of the following products on your tattoo: Benzoyl Peroxide, Hydrogen Peroxide, Glycolic Acid, Apple Cider Vinegar, Vitamin E and C, and Retinol. These products can fade or lighten your tattoo faster.
-
Wear SPF! The UV rays will deteriorate the pigment and lighten or fade the tattoo faster. Salt water and chlorine may also break the pigments down more quickly so be sure to rinse with water after contact.
-
This treatment does fade after 1-3 years depending on your skin and lifestyle. Touch-ups are necessary to maintain the longevity and overall beauty of your tattoo. If you have oily skin, an iron deficiency, or a very strong immune system, your pigment will not last as long and will not heal as crisp as others.
Maintaining Your Brows
In the first 6-8 weeks, intensified color and swelling will occur but it's important to be patient. This intensity should regress within 7 days. You may feel slight burning and experience minimal scabbing or flaking so it's important to follow these instructions:
-
Do NOT pick your brows. You will cause scarring.
-
Exposure to soap, shampoo, or cleanser to unhealed brows in the first 10 days will negatively affect your results.
-
Do NOT use cosmetic products on your brows in the first 2 weeks.
-
No threading or waxing in the first 2-4 weeks.
-
No bleach or dye exposure in the first 6-8 weeks.
-
No exercise or sweating in the first week.
-
No bath submersion or excessive water exposure in the first 10 days.
-
No anti-aging products (i.e. Retinols), acne products (i.e. Glycolic Acids), or laser treatments.
The Healing Process for Removals
When undergoing corrections, following the aftercare guidelines for the PMU service listed above will extend the longevity of your results. It is just as equally important to abide by the instructions below when undergoing removals to make sure that we lay a perfect foundation for any PMU work:
-
Your post-procedure removal care consists of using the Microcurrent Mask, applying the aftercare gel, and keeping the treated area clean and out of the sun.
-
The removal process relies heavily on your skin forming scabs post-procedure; the thicker the scabs, the better chance of pigment removal.
-
It is a must to let the scabbing process happen naturally. This is very important for your removal and skin healing. Do NOT pick at the scabs, scratch, peel, or scrub the treated area. Doing so will result in scarring and affect the results of the pigment removal. This may delay any post revisions or correction procedures so let it be. ❤️

Refund and Exchange Policy
Refunds for Permanent Make-Up Services:
-
Specific results or color requests for tattoos are not guaranteed, especially for those with dark or cool-toned lips, problematic skin, or when covering an old tattoo. Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve desired results.
-
All services are non-refundable.
Refunds/3-month Guarantee for Tooth Gem Services:
-
Refunds: All tooth gem services are final. No refunds. We will spend ample time mapping and discussing your gem design long before permanent adhesion takes place.
-
3-Month Guarantee: Although extremely rare, for any client who experiences a gem falling off within the first three months of the application, Inked Honey offers a 3-Month Guarantee. This guarantee covers gem reattachment in the event of a gem detachment, provided that:
-
The gem detachment occurs within three months from the date of application.
-
You have not experienced accidents or injuries that led to gem detachment.
-
You have diligently followed the post-care instructions provided and reviewed on the day of the appointment.
-
Exemptions: Please note that the guarantee does not apply if you are a cigarette/nicotine smoker. Cigarette smoke has been found to have adverse effects on tooth gems, including:
-
Damage to enamel.
-
Acceleration of the breakdown of molecular bonds in adhesives.
-
Tarnishing and staining of crystals.
-
For the reasons listed above, the guarantee is not applicable.

Exchange Policy:
-
