Things to know about tattoo care

Tattoo care is extremely important for the healing process and the later result of the tattoo. Learn more about it here.

The first three days after the tattoo

• Three to four hours after getting the tattoo, remove the protective foil and clean the tattoo carefully with PH-neutral soap and/or lukewarm water.

• Then let the tattoo air dry or blot it with a lint-free paper towel. Once dry, apply a thin layer of After Care of your choice. I recommend regular Bepanthen. NO Vaseline. Vaseline will clog the pores and hinder the healing process.

• Repeat this every four hours.

• Before you put clothes over it, I recommend that you cover the tattoo with cling film.

The next two weeks in the healing process of your tattoo

• The tattoo should be washed and creamed 2-3 times a day. Please cover with foil before going to bed.

• Please refrain completely from solarium, sauna and bathing during this time. You should also avoid direct sunlight.

• If scabs appear, please do not scratch them! Just wait until it falls off on its own.

• Redness and itching during this time are nothing to worry about. These are normal reactions of your body.

• If you have any questions during this time, please feel free to contact me.

After six weeks at the latest, your new tattoo will be completely healed.

Despite the best tatting care, it can happen that not all lines or shades have been perfectly preserved.

If this is the case, please contact me and we will take care of it.
