Before getting the tattoo:
- Don’t drink alcohol 24 hours before the session
- Eat and rest well before the session to avoid any drop on your blood pressure or fainting
Initial cares of the tattoo:
Once I finish tattooing you I will apply either some plastic film or some tattoo aftercare bandage. The cares are the following:
Plastic film:
Use it between two and six hours.
After removing it, wash the tattooed region with cold water and neutral soap.
Start using the recommended healing cream on the second day.
Use a small quantity twice a day for four days.
Tattoo aftercare bandage:
Use it between one and three days.
If you see any odd reaction remove it immediately.
Carefully remove it on the shower letting the water get in between the film and the skin.
Finally, wash the tattoo with water and neutral soap.
After the four first days keep your skin moist, but don’t over do it! Over hydration can get your tattoo infected. It is normal to feel a burning sensation on the tattooed area the first few days. It will likely become itchy after the fourth day, don’t scratch it!
After getting the tattoo:
- Don’t drink alcohol until 24 hours after the session.
- Don’t expose the tattooed area to direct sunlight for two weeks.
- Don’t go into pools or the sea for two weeks.
- Don’t scratch the tattoo.
