Before getting a tattoo, it’s important to be prepared. Our tattoo artists will personally guide you on how to take care of your new tattoo. In case you forget anything about tattoo aftercare after leaving the tattoo studio, here are some general, simple, and clear rules for tattoo care that will ensure optimal results.
1
Leave the protective film on the tattooed area for a maximum of 2 hours.
2
After returning home, rinse the tattoo thoroughly under cold water with antibacterial soap, such as Protex or Dettol.
3
Gently dry the tattoo by patting it with a clean paper towel.
4
Afterward, apply a thin layer of BEPANTHEN PLUS 3 to 4 times a day until scabs form.
5
If large areas have been tattooed, it is advisable to cover the tattoo again with food wrap at night to prevent it from sticking to clothing or bedding.
6
Once scabs form, you will only apply BEPANTHEN PLUS ointment twice a day until the scabs completely peel off.
7
During the healing process, the tattoo may itch; however, avoid peeling or scratching. Let the tattoo peel naturally.
8
For 1-2 weeks, avoid swimming pools, saunas, sunbathing, bathing in ponds, dusty, and unhygienic environments.
9
Never use Framykoin ointment, Ibalgin, Nivea, or other antibiotics! Complications may occur.
