THINGS TO PAY ATTENTION:
TATTOO AREA
DO NOT SCRACH
🤨 Even though the tattoo itches sweetly, scratching should definitely be avoided. It can be gently rubbed with a clean hand in places where itching cannot be tolerated.
YOUR TATTOO
DO NOT PEEL
🌬️ During the healing process, the surface of your tattoo will begin to crust and peel off. The dye injected under the skin is also removed along with the crusts. For this reason, the shells should never be peeled. Peeling the scabs negatively affects the liveliness of the tattoo and prolongs the healing time.
TATTOO AREA
PROTECT
🧥During the healing process, clothing that would compress or wrap the tattoo should not be worn.
🥊 Tattoo and the area where the tattoo is made should be protected from impacts. Physical activities that will cause tension in that area should be avoided for at least 14 days.
DURING THE RECOVERY PROCESS
SUN PROTECTION
☀️ The biggest enemy of tattoos is Sun rays. Staying in the sun for a long time should be avoided and high factor and water-based sunscreen creams should be used every time you go out in the sun.
DURING THE RECOVERY PROCESS
MOISTENING
💦 Moisturizing creams make the biggest contribution to the proper healing of the tattoo. It should be moisturized after each cleansing for 14 days with a strong, perfume-free moisturizing cream. This frequency may increase depending on the dryness of the skin. A tattoo that heals by being well moisturized can maintain its vitality for many years.
