GOOD LUCK

YOU HAVE A NEW TATTOO

The area where you are tattooed is actually a delicate and open wound that should be scabbed off as little as possible. In order for your tattoo to have a vibrant and bright appearance and to maintain this state, you should take good care of the application area during and after the healing process. We have compiled what you need to know during the healing process by examining the methods and products accepted by tattoo artists.

If you cannot be sure of the cleanliness of the water used, you can use drinking water. This should be repeated 3-6 times a day for at least 14 days.

THINGS TO PAY ATTENTION:

TATTOO AREA

DO NOT SCRACH

🤨 Even though the tattoo itches sweetly, scratching should definitely be avoided. It can be gently rubbed with a clean hand in places where itching cannot be tolerated.

YOUR TATTOO

DO NOT PEEL

🌬️ During the healing process, the surface of your tattoo will begin to crust and peel off. The dye injected under the skin is also removed along with the crusts. For this reason, the shells should never be peeled. Peeling the scabs negatively affects the liveliness of the tattoo and prolongs the healing time.

TATTOO AREA

PROTECT

🧥During the healing process, clothing that would compress or wrap the tattoo should not be worn.

🥊 Tattoo and the area where the tattoo is made should be protected from impacts. Physical activities that will cause tension in that area should be avoided for at least 14 days.

DURING THE RECOVERY PROCESS

SUN PROTECTION

☀️ The biggest enemy of tattoos is Sun rays. Staying in the sun for a long time should be avoided and high factor and water-based sunscreen creams should be used every time you go out in the sun.

DURING THE RECOVERY PROCESS

MOISTENING

💦 Moisturizing creams make the biggest contribution to the proper healing of the tattoo. It should be moisturized after each cleansing for 14 days with a strong, perfume-free moisturizing cream. This frequency may increase depending on the dryness of the skin. A tattoo that heals by being well moisturized can maintain its vitality for many years.
