TAKE CARE INSTRUCTIONS
50% is already done, the other 50% is up to you
-
The healing process lasts between 2 and 4 weeks. A tattoo IS A WOUND, and it's considered healed when the scab has fallen off completely. Remember that the best thing you can do after getting a tattoo is resting
-
During the healing process DO NOT EXPOSE your tattoo to seawater, jacuzzis, saunas, steam rooms, gyms, swimming pools, and SUN
-
Don't do heavy exercise involving the tattooed area for 3-5 days. This causes inflammation, swollen tattoos heal poorly and are vulnerable to infection
-
Don't drink ALCOHOL for 3 days
-
Leave the adhesive patch on for 12 to 72 hours after application, then remove it with clean hands
**Remove immediately in case of irritation or allergic reaction**
IF WE GAVE YOU A SECOND PATCH, THEN:
- Remove the first one after 12 to 30 hours
- Wash well with unscented soap
- Once clean and dry, place the second patch and leave it for 3-5 days
- Continue with the instructions -
For 5-7 days, wash day and night with UNSCENTED SOAP
-
If needed, you can use Microdacyn 2-4 times a day and take a mild anti-inflammatory every 8 hours for 1-3 days
-
Once you have a scab, don't scratch it and don't tear it off FOR ANY REASON, IT WILL FALL OFF BY ITSELF. From this moment, moisturize your tattoo with: the body lotion you regularly use, vitamin D and A, Aquaphor or Lubriderm
-
Let your tattoo breathe enough, try to wear loose clothing during healing and keep it uncovered while you're home
-
All tattoos fade after healing and over the years, ALWAYS use sunscreen to protect your tattoo for much longer
-
Tattoo infections are rare but VERY REAL, so don't forget to maintain proper hygiene. If your tattoo gets infected, you'll have to go to your doctor to prescribe the necessary antibiotics, and the cost is at your own expense. In this case, retouching your tattoo is free, and due to medical recommendations, it's done at least 6 months after
-
Some tattoos need a touch-up after healing because well, we're not robots, and it also depends on how you take care of it, and that each organism is conditioned to heal differently. So, just be realistic, since there are things that are normal to healing and remember that there isn't a perfect tattoo if you see it from one inch away. If you need a touch-up it'll be free, though
-
If your tattoo looks very swollen or irritation continues for a long time, contact your artist immediately to advise you on the process
