About Classic Healing

• The artist will apply a temporary bandage to protect your tattoo from dirt and bacteria (keep it on for no more than 2–4 hours).
• Purchase absorbent pads and a healing cream with D-panthenol from your artist or a pharmacy.
• For the first three days, change the pad in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
• Each time, wash the tattoo under running water with soap, using gentle circular motions to remove excess ink, plasma, and dried blood.
• After washing, gently pat the tattoo dry with a paper towel or let it air dry (do not use terry cloth towels).
• Always change the bandage with clean hands and apply a thin layer of healing cream.
• Repeat this process for the next three days until the tattoo is fully healed.
• Avoid physical activity to prevent sweating in the tattooed area.
• Do not scratch or pick at scabs, as this can cause ink loss and scarring.
• Starting from the fourth day, your skin will begin to peel.
• You no longer need to use absorbent pads – just continue moisturizing.
• Do not soak the tattoo (avoid baths, saunas, and pools).
• Avoid sun exposure, as UV rays can damage the ink.
• The tattoo is considered healed after 20 days of proper care.
• Once fully healed (especially during the first summer), apply SPF 50 sunscreen if exposed to sunlight.

About Modern Healing

• This method involves applying a medical film.
• Your artist will place the film for you – you only need to follow their recommendations.
• The film should stay on for at least 3 days, but no longer than 5.
• Do not remove the film prematurely unless it naturally peels off or starts leaking. It provides a sterile environment, protecting the tattoo from bacteria, dirt, and mechanical damage.
• Ensure the film remains sealed and sterile.
• Plasma (a clear or slightly reddish liquid) may accumulate under the film – this is a normal healing process.
• Avoid physical activity, as sweating may cause the film to detach.
• Do not submerge the tattoo in hot water – take only lukewarm showers.

Removing the Film on the Fifth Day

• To ease removal, take a warm shower.
• Carefully wash the tattoo with warm water and antibacterial (or baby) soap, free of alcohol and fragrances.
• Do not rub – gently pat dry with a paper towel or let it air dry.
• Apply a thin layer of any moisturizing cream and continue to moisturize as needed.
• Continue tattoo aftercare for another two weeks.
• Wash the tattoo twice a day.
• Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 50 sunscreen when outdoors.
