Aftercare
Your tattoo is always protected with a second-skin or cling wrap, depending on the size and the placement. This prevents bacteria from entering the fresh tattoo and minimizes the risk of infection.

Second-skin
If your tattoo is protected with cling wrap, carefully remove it once you get home. After removal, wash your tattoo under running water. Cool water will help soothe the skin at first. Do not use soap unless it is fragrance-free. After washing, gently pat the tattoo dry with a clean towel or paper towel. Apply ointment to your tattoo immediately after washing and repeat the process several times a day (recommended products: Hustle Butter, Easy Tattoo, Bepanthen 5%). Always handle your tattoo with clean hands. During the first night, if you wish, you may cover the tattoo with fresh cling film or another breathable material such as clean gauze. This helps protect your sheets during the night, as the skin may release some ink or blood.
Second-skin
If your tattoo is protected with a second-skin , you can go about your day normally and even shower with it on. However, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water. It’s also advisable to wear loose clothing to prevent damage to both the film and the tattoo. While the protective film is in place, you may notice slight moisture buildup underneath it, which can make the tattoo look blurry. This is plasma seeping from the skin, which aids the healing process by bringing small ink particles to the surface. This is completely normal and supports recovery. Keep the film on for 12–24 hours. After this, carefully remove it by stretching it while doing so under running water. Since the film adheres tightly to the skin, removing it may require some force. If the film causes discomfort or begins peeling off prematurely, you can carefully remove it earlier. After removing the film, wash your tattoo under running water. Cool water will help soothe the skin at first. Do not use soap unless it is fragrance-free. After washing, gently pat the tattoo dry with a clean towel or paper, without rubbing. Moisturize your tattoo immediately after washing and repeat the process several times a day (recommended products: Hustle Butter, Easy Tattoo, Bepanthen 5%). Always handle your tattoo with clean hands.
Cling wrap
Jos tatuointisi on suojattu kelmulla, poista se varovasti päästyäsi kotiin. Poiston jälkeen pese tatuointisi juoksevan veden alla, viileä vesi rauhoittaa ihoa alkuun. Älä käytä saippuaa, ellei se ole hajusteetonta. Pesun jälkeen kuivaa tatuointisi varovasti puhtaalla pyyhkeellä tai paperilla ihoa taputellen. Rasvaa tatuointisi heti pesun jälkeen ja toista prosessi muutaman kerran päivässä. (Hustle Butter, Easy Tattoo, Bepanthen 5%) Muista käsitellä tatuointia aina puhtain käsin. Voit myös ensimmäisenä yönä halutessasi suojata tatuoinnin puhtaalla kelmulla tai muulla hengittävällä materiaalilla, kuten esimerkiksi puhtaalla sideharsolla. Tämä suojaa esimerkiksi lakanoita yön aikana, sillä iho saattaa erittää mustetta tai verta.

Two weeks after getting a tattoo
Pese tatuointi kolme kertaa päivässä lämpimällä vedellä, voit käyttää myös hajusteetonta saippuaa. Toista tatuoinnin rasvaus aina pesun jälkeen. Jotkut ihotyypit tarvitsevat enemmän rasvauskertoja kuin toiset. Seuraa oman ihon käyttäytymistä ja lisää rasvaa tarvittaessa. Voit myös aina kysyä tautoijaltasti neuvoja. Mikäli tatuointisi on kuivahtanut yösi aikana, pese se ennen rasvaamista. Noin 4-7 päivän kuluttua tatuoinnin otosta iho alkaa uudistumaan ja kuollut & rikkoutunut ihosolukko kuoriutuu paranevan uuden ihon päältä pois. Tällöin tatuointi on kuoriutumisvaiheessa ja saattaa näyttää siltä, että se lähtisi irti. Näin ei kuitenkaan ole ja tämä reaktio iholla on täysin normaalia ja osa paranemisprosessia. Anna irtoavan ihon irrota itsestään, älä ikinä raavi tai hankaa tatuointia, vaikka se kutiaisi. Tämä voi kestää muutaman päivän ajan. Vältä kahden viikon aikana: saunomista, uimista, auringon ottoa tai solariumia, rankkaa treenamista/hikoilua, tatuoinnin raapimista sekä kuivumista
Two weeks after getting a tattoo
Wash your tattoo three times a day with warm water; you can also use fragrance-free soap. Always apply ointment after washing. Some skin types require more frequent moisturizing than others, so monitor how your own skin reacts and add more ointment if needed. You can also ask your tattoo artist for advice at any time. If your tattoo has dried out overnight, wash it before applying ointment. Around 4–7 days after getting the tattoo, the skin will begin to regenerate, and dead or damaged skin cells will peel away from the surface as new skin forms underneath. During this peeling stage, the tattoo may look as if it’s coming off—but it isn’t. This reaction is completely normal and part of the healing process. Let the peeling skin come off naturally; never scratch or rub the tattoo, even if it itches. This stage may last for several days. For the first two weeks, avoid: saunas, swimming, sunbathing or tanning beds, intense exercise/sweating, scratching the tattoo, and letting it dry out.
After two weeks
Once the skin is fully healed, intensive washing and frequent moisturizing are no longer necessary. However, it’s still recommended to moisturize the tattoo after showering or bathing (including sauna). At this stage, you can use a regular body lotion. Always protect your tattoo from the sun with sunscreen, even after the healing process is complete. The skin is considered fully healed only after about a month. If your tattoo loses too much color during healing or fades noticeably, I will touch up it for free of charge within six months of the first session. If you have any questions about your tattoo or experience difficulties with aftercare, don’t hesitate to ask for advice.
