1. Initial Care Right After Getting a Tattoo

What to Do Immediately

• Keep the Wrap On
  After your tattoo is done, the artist will apply a wrap or second skin to cover it.
  This step protects the tattoo from bacteria and external irritation.
• Wash Your Hands
  Before removing the wrap, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and lukewarm water.
  Keeping your hands clean is the most important way to prevent infection.
• Gently Clean the Tattoo
  Wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap.

2. The First Week: Healing and Protection

Moisturizing and Protecting Your Tattoo

• Apply Moisturizer
  After cleaning and drying the tattoo, apply a small amount of tattoo cream or a gentle, fragrance-free lotion.
• Protect from Sunlight
  Avoid direct sunlight on your tattoo. Cover it with clothing when outdoors.
• Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure
  During the healing period, avoid baths, swimming, or saunas.
• Managing Scabs and Itching
  As the tattoo heals, scabs and itching may occur.
• Wear Comfortable Clothes
  Choose loose, soft clothing that won’t rub or press on your tattoo.

3. Things to Avoid During Healing

• Touching the Tattoo
  Do not touch your tattoo with unclean hands, as this increases the risk of infection.
• Using Harsh Products
  Avoid using lotions with strong fragrances or alcohol, as they can irritate the tattoo.
• Intense Exercise
  Avoid heavy exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating until your tattoo has healed.

4. Long-Term Care After Healing

To Keep Your Tattoo Looking Its Best:

• Use Sunscreen
  Once the tattoo is fully healed, apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect it from fading in the sun.
• Keep Your Skin Moisturized
  Dry skin can make your tattoo look dull. Use a moisturizer regularly to keep your skin healthy and hydrated.

Once my schedule is finalized, I upload it on Instagram or start taking waiting lists on my website. If nothing is uploaded yet, it means nothing has been decided. I usually have overseas schedules about twice a year.
