Take care of your tattoo

First 24 h

When the tattoo is finished, we cover it with plastic film or “second skin”.
Your tattoo artist will give you instructions before you go home - follow them 😉
Day after

❊ Remove the bandage. (If you got one)
❊ Wash carefully with lukewarm water and an unscented, mild soap.
❊ Pat dry with a clean towel.
❊ Let the tattoo air-dry completely before applying a thin layer of ointment.
Moisturize

❊ We always sell a recommended ointment; otherwise, ask at your local pharmacy.
❊ Always use a new, unopened tube.
❊ Apply a thin layer three times per day.
Bandage

If you have been instructed to change the plastic wrap:
❊ Wash first, make sure the skin is clean and dry (not moisturized) before applying new plastic.
❊ Tegaderm film / second skin can be worn for up to five days.
