✻ Before Your Tattoo:

One week prior: Keep the area hydrated and avoid skin damage.

On the day: Get a good night’s sleep, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol or drugs. Eat a meal, wear comfortable clothing, and avoid caffeine. Plan to relax afterward as sessions can be variable in length. Bring snacks if needed.

✻ Post-Tattoo Care:

Your tattoo is a wound that needs proper care. You'll leave with a protective cover, either second skin or a bandage. Second skin is breathable and waterproof, better than plastic wrap for protection and moisture control.

✻ Care Guidelines:

  • Wash 3 times a day;

  • Remove the second skin carefully (see a video here);

  • From the moment you remove the plastic, use ointment or moisturizer about 3 times a day (I recommend using coconut oil as it is as natural as possible);

  • Don't pull the scab;

  • Avoid sun exposure for the first month;

  • Avoid fatty foods like pork, seafood, and chocolates;

  • Don't bathe in the sea or pool for 15 days;

  • Use sunscreen after one month.

✻ Cautions:

If you notice unusual inflammation or signs of infection, contact me or a doctor.

The tattoo might lose some vibrancy during healing but will return to its original clarity afterward.
