GENERAL CARE OF YOUR TATTOO

  • Do not pull off scabs or dry skin during healing.
  • Avoid physical activity during the first 15 days of healing.
  • Protect the tattoo from the sun:
    • Avoid direct sun exposure.
    • After healing, use sunscreen (factor 50+) to preserve the colour and details.
  • Avoid public waters (sea, pool, rivers, jacuzzis, etc.) and saunas as they contain microorganisms and bacteria that can cause infections in the tattoo.
  • Reduce alcohol, tobacco and drugs, as they weaken the immune system and can delay healing.
