TATTOO AFTERCARE

• Avoid drinking alcohol for a few days after the session as it may prolong the healing process, cause ink loss, and result in poor healing.

• Refrain from doing strenuous workouts for 5 days after the session.

• Do not scratch, pick, peel, or rub your tattoo while it is healing. Also, avoid exposing it to the sun for the first 2-3 weeks, and don’t wear tight clothing in the area.

• If you have second skin on, remove it after 1 to 4 days (72 hours), under a shower, pulling carefully and taking your time.

• Once the second skin is removed, clean the area with neutral soap, dry with a clean paper towel before applying cream, repeat this twice a day for 2 weeks, applying a thin layer of cream only when necessary (depending on your skin and weather).

• If you’re not using second skin, make sure to cover your bed with a towel so you don’t stain your sheets. You can take the plastic off the next morning and follow the cleaning steps mentioned earlier.

Remember, during the first few days your tattoo is basically an open wound, so it needs a bit of extra care. Don’t put any cream on it for the first day or two. After that, use only a small amount at a time — too much cream can slow down the healing.

I recommend washing your tattoo in the morning and waiting until the evening to apply the first thin layer of cream. 

• It’s not recommended to go to the sauna, pool, sun exposure, or go on vacation during the healing process.

• After it’s healed, apply moisturizing cream and sunscreen with a factor of 50 to protect it from the sun. Using sunscreen is crucial as sun exposure can change the appearance of your tattoo if not taken care of.

That’s all! Thank you for your trust, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about it.
