When you leave our tattoo shop, your tattoo will be covered with plastic wrap. This wrap protects your tattoo from bacteria.

Once you're home, you can remove the wrap and wash the tattoo with lukewarm water (without soap). Then, gently pat the tattoo dry (never rub!) and apply a skin-care tattoo cream such as YAYO Aftercare or Bepanthen tattoo cream.

For the first fourteen days after getting the tattoo, lightly apply cream to the tattoo 4-5 times a day: do not use too much cream as it can suffocate the tattoo. It's important to ensure that the tattoo never dries out. The better you care for the tattoo, the more beautiful it will become, and the longer you will enjoy it.

Other measures you can take to care for your tattoo:

• Take short showers with lukewarm water and use a neutral, unscented shower gel.
• Avoid swimming or taking baths for the first three weeks after getting the tattoo.
• Avoid exposure to the sun or tanning beds for the first three weeks after getting the tattoo.
• Be cautious with pets: bacteria in their fur, on their feet, and on their tongues can be harmful to the tattoo – an infection can happen unexpectedly!

If you experience any issues during the first three weeks, please contact us immediately.
