Sensitivity patch testing is recommended for those who may have an allergy to nickel, as there are traces of nickel in some needles and pigments which may affect you. The sensitivity patch test will not always confirm or determine conclusively if you have an allergy to nickel or whether you will have a reaction to the products used within the treatment which you have requested. Patch testing is necessary for all clients receiving Cosmetic Tattoo removal and must be booked a minimum of 7 days before a cosmetic tattoo removal procedure. These bookings are the responsibility of the client.
