Tattoo aftercare rules
01 Important
During tattooing, the skin breaks down, creating a wound. If you take care of the tattoo well and carefully, It will take about 6 weeks for the wound to heal.
You must follow these steps 2 times a day for 1 week:
Without second skin
- After the tattoo session in 2 hours you must take off cling film.
- Carefully wash the tattoo with water and soap. Soap has to be without parfum and antiseptic, so you have to use normal or baby soap.
- Dry it gently with a clean towel.
- Smear the wound with a thin layer of BABY BEPANTHEN. Wait 5 minutes and after you can wear clean clothes.
With second skin
- After the tattoo session you will have a “second skin” healing foil - Suprasorb F (or Dermalize).
- You have to keep it on your skin for 4-5 days. You can take a shower during these days.
- After 4-5 days carefully remove the foil. Do it under the water, so it will come off easier without damaging the skin.
-
Then once a day for 3-4 days:
- Carefully wash the tattoo with water and soap. Soap has to be without parfum and antiseptic, so it has to be either normal or baby soap.
- Dry it gently with a clean towel.
- Smear the wound with a thin layer of BABY BEPANTHEN. Wait 5 minutes before wearing any clothes. Clothes should be clean.
02 Make sure
