We provide second skin or plastic foil to cover your tattoo after your appointment. General aftercare tips include washing your hands before touching your healing tattoo, avoiding exercise, sweating, sunbathing and swimming during the healing process. Wear loose, comfortable clothing during the tattoo appointment and during the healing process. Avoid wool, fishnets and synthetics around the tattooed area. Start using a tattoo cream after 48 hours, applying a small amount twice a day.
