Proper aftercare is crucial to how your tattoo heals and how it will look long-term. This guide will give you the steps to the most effective way of beautifull healing of your tatoo.

Immediately after

• If your tattoo is wrapped in plastic or a sterile compress, remove it after 2—3 hours.

• If a protective film is applied, leave it on until it naturally comes off.

• You may shower as normal.

daily care (for the first weeks)

• Wash the tattoo twice a day with a mild, unscented soap. recomended soap is unicura balance

• Pat dry with a clean towel or fresh paper towel.

• Apply a thin layer of the ointment 2 to 3 times a day, or when the skin feels dry. I recommend bepanthen baby or hustle butter.

during healing

• Wear loose, clean clothing.

• Avoid baths, swimming pools, saunas, and steam rooms.

Healing usually takes around six weeks.

Tattooed skin remains sensitive to sunlight. Always use sunscreen to protect your tattoo.
If you notice excessive redness, swelling, pain, or discharge, please contact a doctor.

If after healing (6 weeks) a touch-up is needed and aftercare instructions were followed, this can be done
free of charge within 12 months.
