Tattoo Aftercare
Leave the second skin plastic on for 2-3 days. The plastic is breathable, waterproof and prevents bacteria from coming in.
Remove the plastic after 2-3 days under water. Clean the tattoo with water or use a special soap.
Us a thin layer of cream 2 to 3 times a day on clean skin. You can use Bepathen, Helosan (vegan) or a tattoo cream.
If the plastic comes loose or holds a lot of liquid, take it away and use plastic wrap instead. The plastic wrap needs to be changed a couple of times a day, to prevent bacteria.
Always put plastic on clean skin and dry skin.
Remember to protect your tattoo with plastic wrap when it’s covered with clothing, at nighttime and when you have pets.
A tattoo takes around 3 weeks to heal.
It’s important to protect and moisturise your tattoo. A tattoo that hasn’t been taking care of correctly can get infected or bad healing.
- Wait at least 3 days before going to the gym and prevent heavy lifting.
- Protect your tattoo from the sun.
- No swimming, bathing or sauna for 3 weeks.
- Don’t let anyone touch your tattoo while healing.
- Always clean your hands before and after using your tattoo cream. If you take more cream, don’t touch the tube or jar. That prevents bacteria from getting into the cream.
