WHEN THE "SECOND SKIN"

Leave the dressing for 1-3 days after application. Plasma, blood and excess of ink will leak under the dressing, so the tattoo look "blurred". This is a natural process, so there is no reason to panic. :)

You may need to remove dressing earlier when it comes off, when it gets dirty, when there is too much liquid inside, when there was an allergy.

It's best to remove the dressing in the shower with lukewarm running water. Lift one of the corners and allow water to get between the foil and the skin.

• Wash the tattoo with neutral, fragrance free soap

• Use a Clean Paper Towel to dry your tattoo by gently PATTING the area. Do not RUB your tattoo at all as it may cause irritation.

• Pat a thin layer of cream for healing a tattoo (we recommend hustle butter or helosan). Do not apply too much! You can soak the tattoo with the cream. Thin layer will allow your tattoo to breath and heal properly.

Repeat these 3 things 3 times a day for 14-28 days (depending on the tattoo size/style and how quickly it heals; artist will advise)

Each person's skin heals differently, but for a period of 2 weeks we try to take care of this place especially, moisturising it with ointment several times a day (about 3 times a day as said above).

WHAT TO REMEMBER:

• For the first week, we try to avoid (when you can) wear clothing in this place (mentioning thighs bras etc.) or try to wear clothes loose and made of natural fabrics

• Do not drink alcohol for 3 days after tattooing

• For the first week give up excessive physical activity

• For the first 3-4 weeks, do not take a bath (quick shower is fine), do not soak your tattoo (avoid swimming pools and other public water reservoirs, sauna, hot yoga, etc)

• It's VERY IMPORTANT to not scratch, pick or peel the skin as this could cause wounds and scarring or missing some ink.

• Do not expose the tattoo to the sun and tanning beds for a month

• ALWAYS apply a tattoo filter (SPF 50) before exposure to the sun (you can use it after 3 weeks from getting your tattoo)

WHEN BASIC PLASTIC FILM:

First foil is removed after 3-4 hours.
Gently wash the place with lukewarm water and antiseptic soap (neutral soap).
Use a Clean Paper Towel to set your tattoo by gently PATTING the area. Do not RUB your tattoo at all as it may cause irritation.
Pat a thin layer of cream for healing a tattoo or bephanten cream. Do not apply too much! You can also soak the tattoo with the cream.
Replace the plastic film.

Repeat everything approximately in every 2-3 hours for the first 2-3 days after tattooing. Also put films on the first 2 nights.

Whenever you are in clean environment let your skin breath without the plastic as much as possible.
