pre - care

  • Moisturizing your skin with a cream 1-2 days before tattooing is helpful. It will help you to avoid most dry skin problems
  • Please, avoid exposing the tattoo area to the sun. No tattoos on sunburnt skin
  • Keep alcohol and drugs out of your system 24 hrs before getting tattooed
  • Please, do not shave your skin before the session, it may cause little cuts
  • Get yourself comfy clothes (black/white preferably, for the photography), a sugary drink and snacks for the session! See you!

aftercare

  1. Take the “Saniderm” layer off in 24-48 hours after tattooing
  2.  Wash the tattoo with non-fragrance anti-bacterial soap, let it dry.
  3. Keep the tattoo open/air dry for 1 day. In this period, once it’s stopped bleeding, it has to breathe and settle. Do not apply anything! The reason is it’s much harder for a bacteria to spread in the dry environment. Soap washing once a day is allowed and recommended.
  4. Starting from DAY 3 apply a healing ointment (“After Inked”/Aquaphor/ Tattoo Goo/ Hustle Butter) 2-3 times a day. Thin layer. Keep doing it up to 14 days.

IMPORTANT: inching, ink peeling is totally normal, do not interrupt the process of healing!

TO AVOID(2 WEEKS): saunas, UV-saunas, chemicals, saulty/chlorine water. Do not expose a fresh tattoo to the sun

NOT RECOMMENDED(1 WEEK): gym/ physical activities, sun-bathing, tanning, alcohol
