TATTOO CARE
Cling film
Use only dedicated tattoo ointment - Bepanthen Aseptic or Bepanthen/Pegasus/Neba.
Do not use Alantan.
Always make sure your hands are clean when cleaning and touching a fresh tattoo.
​
- Remove the foil after 3-4 hours, wash the tattoo with cool water, pat dry with paper towel, put a thin layer of ointment and fresh foil. Keep it overnight, there may be blood, ink and plasma seeping from the skin - this is normal.
- If there is absolutely no risk of tattoo having no contact with unsterile surface - you do not have to use the foil after the first 24h. Only wash the tattoo, pat dry and lubricate with ointment every 3-4h.
- If therere is any, even the slightest risk of touching anything unsterile, repeat the procedure of removing the foil, washing, drying, lubricating and securing fith fresh foil every 3-4h.
- Continue this process until the first peel of epidermis (usually 3-5 days).
- When you see epidermis peeling, stop using the foil and continue repeating the procedure of washing, drying and lubricating the tattoo 2-3 times a day for the total of 14 days since your session.
Tattoo is completely healed when the skin is matte and there is no light glancing off it.
If during the use of foil the skin gets irritated, burns or itches - it means the foil was left on for too long.
If pustules appear during healing - it means too much ointment is being put on.
If white highlights become yellowish - there was too much sun exposure too soon.
During healing process is forbidden:
- Any physical excertion for the first week (jogging, fitness etc.). Tattoo cannot sweat through.
- Hot baths for the first week.
- Sauna or swimming pool for the first month.
- Sunbathing for the first month. (after that time tattoo can be exposed to sun only after using spf 50 sunscreen on it)
