Congratulations, your tattoo is now part of you and will always be a part of you - so take good care of your tattoo so that it will still bring you joy in 60 years.

This is what you have to do:

 

• Remove the cling film 3 hours after your appointment and wash your tattoo with lukewarm water.

• Let your tattoo air dry and then apply your moisturizing cream. It is important that you use a small amount of cream and massage it well into the skin.

 

Apply cream:

• Total 3 weeks

• 2-3 times daily

• Always use SPF in the future

 

You can shower normally the day after your appointment. It is important not to shower too hot or for too long. Only run water and shampoo over the tattoo - please do not wash it again. You only do this once , when you remove the foil.

 

Please do not scratch if your tattoo starts to itch - the itching is part of the natural healing process and signals that your tattoo is healing. Scratching will slow down the healing process and cause your tattoo to lose color and not heal properly.

 

Please avoid sport for 1-2 weeks - yes, even yoga. Movement and sweat will cause your wound to open up again and again - this will slow down your healing process, your tattoo will heal more slowly and in the worst case scenario it could become infected. Please remember that your tattoo is permanent and you are welcome to take a break from sport now and then.

 

In the next 3-4 weeks please do not:

In direct sunlight

To the solarium

Into the sauna

Bathing (bathtub, lake, sea)
