TATTOO CARE
What to do before and after getting a tattoo.
We want to do a safe job with the best results. Here are our recommendations.
We take care of you.
1. Maintain Personal Hygiene:
Before your tattoo session, taking a shower is highly recommended. Clean skin helps reduce the risk of infection and provides a better canvas for the tattoo artist to work on.
2. Get a Good Night's Sleep:
Ensure you are well-rested before your appointment. A good night's sleep will help you stay calm and endure the tattooing process more comfortably.
3. Avoid Alcohol and Drugs:
Refrain from consuming alcohol or drugs for at least 24 hours before and after your tattoo session. These substances can thin your blood, increase bleeding, and negatively affect the healing process.
4. Eat Before Your Appointment:
Have a meal before coming to your session. Arriving on an empty stomach can make you feel lightheaded or faint during the procedure.
5. Avoid Using Anesthetics:
Do not apply any type of anesthetic cream or gel before your tattoo session. These products can interfere with the tattooing process and may cause adverse reactions.
6. Ensure Your Skin is Healthy:
Come to your appointment with healthy skin. Avoid scheduling a session if you have sunburn, redness, or irritation, as these conditions can compromise the quality of your tattoo and prolong healing time.
Recommendations to follow before tattooing.
Proper preparation before your tattoo session is essential for achieving the best results. Follow these recommendations to ensure your skin is ready and your experience is as comfortable as possible.
1. Remove the plastic:
Remove after 3 to 4 hours and proceed to clean it. If you use SANIDERM, leave it for 4 days.
2. Do not touch it with dirty hands:
You are going to touch your tattoo, be sure to wash your hands, and do not allow others to touch it during the healing period.
3. Wash it well:
After removing the plastic, and preferably twice a day, wash the tattoo with warm water and a neutral soap, massage with your fingertips and rinse. Once the tattoo has been cleaned, wait until the skin is completely dry and apply the cream.
4. Promotes healing:
To prevent the area from drying out and / or becoming infected, apply the cream recommended by your tattoo artist for seven days after the tattoo.
5. Avoid wearing tight clothes:
During the healing period of the tattoo, which lasts 10 to 15 days approximately, avoid the use of tight garments on the tattooed area.
6. Keep it moisturized:
After the first week with the recommended cream, use another dye-free and fragrance-free moisturizer.
7. Avoid the sun and damp places:
Avoid direct exposure to the sun or places with high humidity such as saunas, swimming pools or prolonged baths in the shower, as these can affect the final coloring of the tattoo, and could expose it to unnecessary infections.
8. Avoid doing exercises:
If you do exercise, wash your tattoo immediately after finishing your routine to prevent the sweat from coming in contact with the tattoo. Do not forget that it is a small wound and that the basis for its healing is hygiene.
9. Never remove scabs:
If some type of scab should form while the tattoo heals, under no circumstances should you detach it, since along with it you could take the pigment away, causing the tattoo to look uneven.
10. Use sunscreen:
And from now on, avoid direct exposure to the sun, and if you have to do it try to cover the tattoo and use a sunscreen to prevent colors from vanishing..
