Cuidados del tatuaje

Each studio or tattoo artist will recommend the best way to heal your tattoo.

Below we leave you our recommendations both with patch and with cream.

A tattoo is a wound and should be treated as such. Avoid friction, especially during the first week, to ensure proper healing and prevent infections. This is especially recommended if the tattoo is in areas with clothing friction (ribs, groin, etc.).

  • Clean 2–3 times a day with fresh water and neutral soap. Pat dry with kitchen paper (avoid towels).
  • Moisturizing: apply a very thin layer of tattoo cream 2–3 times a day (without perfume/alcohol).
  • Loose clothing; avoid friction and excessive sweating during the first few days.
  • Duration: 2–3 weeks or until the skin returns to normal.
  • There may be itching/fine peeling. Do not pick at skin or scabs.

Things to keep in mind

  1. It’s normal for it to peel, itch, or for some light scabbing to appear.
  2. It’s a wound that needs to heal, and the skin will regenerate afterward.
  3. Don’t pull on skin/flakes/scabs and, of course, don’t scratch!

Transparent, waterproof, vegan, and breathable adhesive. Helps protect against friction (ideal if you have pets). It contains everything needed for your tattoo to heal perfectly.

  • Leave it on for 1–2 days depending on the area (your tattoo artist will advise you).
  • Second patch (optional) 2 days: not always applied, depends on the tattoo.
  • Remove in the shower with lukewarm water, very gently (do not pull it off dry).
  • Loose clothing; avoid friction and excessive sweating during the first few days.
  • Afterwards, 2 weeks of gentle cleaning + tattoo cream 2 times a day.

Things to keep in mind

  1. If it peels off a little, it’s fine as long as the tattoo isn’t exposed to the air.
  2. If after the first day there is redness and itching, write to us and send a photo: it may be that your skin isn’t breathing well and it’s better to continue with cream.

Avoid these habits so as not to compromise the healing or the quality of the tattoo.

  • Long showers or very hot water.
  • Intense exercise / excessive sweating for 1 week.
  • Direct sun, beach, pool, and sauna for 2 weeks.
  • Scratching or pulling at skin/scabs.
  • Tight clothing and continuous friction.
  • Too much cream (over-moisturizing is harmful).
