Aftercare

If your tattoo is covered by a specialized tattoo film (second skin), wait about 24hrs to max 3 days, then remove.

Remove the film by running some warm water to lift the corners and then begin to pull the film away from the skin.

1. Keep the tattoo clean
  • wash the tattoo with gentle unscented soap 2x a day, let it air dry or use a clean paper towel

  • don't dry or rub the tattoo with a bath towel

  • avoid scratching or touching the tattoo, let it breathe and wear loose clothing if possible

  • don't use harsh scrubs or exfoliating products

2. Hydrate

  • when the tattoo is completely dry, apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizing cream, I recommend Cerave moisturizing cream

  • Moisturize your tattoo 2x a day for the next 2 weeks

3. Maintain

  • Cerave or Lubriderm are gentle and unscented, they are a great option for a basic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.

  • avoid using  products containing petroleum or using vaseline as it can clog pores

  • the tattoo might began to flake and that's completely normal, don't try to peel or scratch the tattoo

During the healing process please avoid:

​

  • saunas, hot showers, taking a bath

  • swimming in pools, lakes, ocean a there is a risk of infection in the tattoo in these environments

  • do not use rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to clean your tattoo as it can damage the tattoo

  • avoid intense physical exercises or sports

  • avoid wearing tight clothing that could rub against the tattoo

  • avoid sunbathing, do not apply sunscreen on your freshly done tattoo, wait at least 30 days

  • alcohol is not recommended for the first couple of days after your session. Alcohol has a tendency ti weaken the immune system, hinder the body's regenerative process and could cause swelling of the tattoo
