How do I prepare for my tattoo session?

• Exfoliate and moisturize the area. You don’t have to shave, it’s best to do it on the spot!

• Eat, rest and avoid drinking alcohol the day before

• Bring comfy clothes that leave the tattooing area accessible or bring extra ones to change into

• You can also bring your favorite snacks and fidgets!

What about aftercare?

1. Wash with colder/lukewarm water using a neutral soap

2. Remove second skin as instructed on the tattoo session

3. Gently pat dry with a clean towel/paper towels and leave it for the night.It’s important to let the skin breathe during this time, so no cream for now

4. The following day, wash with neutral soap and apply a thin layer of cream twice a day until the tattoo surface is fully healed (2-4 weeks)

What creams do you recommend?

Eveyone will have a different preference on what cream to use, but my personal preference is Aquaphoror Pegasus Tattoocream, as I find them to be the best for sensitive/eczema prone skin and you can use them on the fresh tattoo.

Cicaplast and Cicalfate are also great, but only 4-5 days after the session as they are not recommended for open wounds.

NOTE: Aloevera and Coconut oil are fine to use on healed skin only. They can easily become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria, which can be especially dangerous on the first 4-5 days when the wound is fresh.

I don’t recommend using pure Vaseline (too pore occlusive).

Remember - tattoos are wounds, it’s important to treat them as such

What soap should I use?

Anything simple and neutral, like baby soaps!

• neutral

• fragrance free

• alcohol free

Each experience is different, but...

• Ink and plasma might come out of your tattoo for the first few days. This is normal, just gently wash it away.

• Your tattoo will be flaky, itchy or scab as it heals. Continue applying thin layer of cream and trust the process for the full month.

Sometimes skin is unpredictable, so feel free to update me or send a message if you have any concerns or need any retouches <3
