TATTOO CARE

Please note that the instructions for taking care of your new tattoo may vary according
to the type of tattoo you have gotten.

TATTOO HEALING PROCESS

Protect the tattoo with a plastic film or soaker pad, according to your case, during the
first 24 hours, changing it every about 6 or 8 hours. First change must be done 2 hours
after getting the tattoo.
Remember to wash your hands thoroughly before changing it.
Did you get a SIMPLE or a COMPLEX tattoo?

FOR SMALLER SIMPLE

· After removing the plastic film, wash the tattoo with water and pH-neutral soap, removing any remaining dirt in it. Rinse the area with plenty of water to remove any
remaining soap and dry the tattoo by gently pressing and using some kitchen paper without rubbing your skin. Place a clean film over the tattoo again once it is completely dry.
· After the first 24 hours, you should follow the same procedure, but instead of covering the tattoo with plastic film again, you will need to apply on it a thin layer of the cream recommended by your tattoo artist.

FOR COMPLEX TATTOOS

Please make sure you are being careful while removing the soaker pad as it may be stuck to the skin. For better removal, you can moisten it with plenty of water.
· Once the soaker has been removed, wash the tattoo with water and pH-neutral soap, removing any remaining dirt in it. Rinse the area with plenty of water to remove any remaining soap and dry the tattoo by gently pressing and using some kitchen paper without rubbing your skin. Place a clean film over the tattoo again once it is completely dry.

How do I know when to stop using soaker pads?

Pay attention to each soaker pad that you remove. Once you notice that they are almost unstained (usually after 48 hours roughly), you should stop using the soaker and instead start applying a thin layer of cream after each washing.

· Follow the steps for washing and applying the cream during the next 10 days to keep
your tattoo free of any bacteria and to avoid possible infections.
You will notice the tattoo will start to peel on the 6th day approx. Please remember
not to pull off any skin or scab and let them peel off on their own!
We recommend applying body cream for a while after the 10th day until the skin is
back into its natural balance.

During the healing process you will not be able to swim at the beach or in the
swimming pool.

You must avoid direct exposure to the sun on your tattoo.

Choose cotton clothing and avoid any clothing that may rub or press against your skin.

Be particularly careful if you live with animals and avoid getting your tattoo in
direct contact with them, as the hairs could infect your tattoo.

If you have gotten your tattoo on areas such as wrists or neck, you should avoid
wearing bracelets, watches, necklaces, or any other accessory during a month
approx.
