🎗️ Special care for Cancer Clients to Get PMU

✅ Medical Clearance

• A written doctor’s note/clearance is usually required before proceeding.

• Clearance should confirm that the client is no longer immunocompromised and is fit to undergo a cosmetic tattoo procedure.

⏳ Timing After Treatment

• Chemotherapy & Radiation:

  • Clients must wait at least 6 months after completing chemotherapy or radiation before PMU.

  • Some professionals recommend 12 months, depending on healing, immune system recovery, and doctor’s advice.

• Surgery or Reconstruction (e.g., mastectomy, breast reconstruction, skin grafts):

  • Wait 6–12 months after surgery, or until scars are fully healed and stable.

• Port Removal or Catheter Sites:

  • Cannot tattoo over these areas; must be fully healed.

 

🩺 Health Considerations

​

• Blood counts (platelets and white cells) should be within normal range to support healing.

• Clients should not be on active chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or high-dose steroids.

• If taking blood thinners, clearance is needed.

 

🌸 Skin Condition

​

• The skin must be healthy, fully healed, and free of open sores, rashes, or active radiation burns.

• Avoid tattooing over fragile, thin, or radiated skin unless approved by physician.

 

💄 Special PMU Applications for Cancer Clients

​

• Brows: For those who lost brow hair from chemo or alopecia.

• Eyeliner: Only if the eye area is fully healed and lashes have recovered (to reduce infection risk).

• Areola/Nipple Tattooing: Typically done 12+ months post-reconstruction (with surgeon clearance).

• Lip Blush: Only when lips are healthy and not overly dry, cracked, or fragile.

⚠️ Important Notes for Cancer Survivors

• Healing may take longer than average due to past treatments.

• Pigment retention may be weaker; more touch-ups might be needed.

• Always approach with compassion—PMU is often more than beauty, it’s part of emotional healing and confidence restoration.
