How to care for your new tattoo

The best tattoo is the one that was properly cared for. A step-by-step aftercare guide for the first two weeks after your session.

Right after the session

Try to avoid contact with water during first day

Take shower carefully, putting away/not washing the tattoo area

Take off the bandage 1 full day after the tattoo session was finished

For example, your tattoo was done by 5 pm, so you have to take off the bandage the next day at 5 pm

Wash it with warm water and hypoallergenic soap

If you don't have a hypoallergenic soap, use just warm water

Wash away all dirt, blood and ink gently pressing the tattoo (VERY important step!)

Do not rub the tattoo, but be sure there is no lymph, ink or excessive skin left on top of your tattoo. This step dramatically affects the healing process! If any of those are not washed out properly, there will appear a crunchy skin, during the healing process. With clothing you can accidentally pull it off together with the ink and as a result, your tattoo will miss part of the color.

"The first 24 hours are the most critical — what you do right after the session sets the foundation for how your tattoo heals and how it looks for years to come."

Repeat the whole process 4 times per day (morning-day-evening-night)

Wipe it gently with a paper towel and give your tattoo 15 mins to breath

Put a very small amount of Bepanthen/tattoo ointment (pea size) all over your tattoo

Using too much of an ointment, will lead to overhydrating your tattoo and cause an ink coming off

Cover your tattoo with a new bandage (which I will provide to you) and secure it with a body plaster

Repeat the whole process 4 times per day (morning-day-evening-night)

For example, your tattoo was done by 5 pm, you have to take off the bandage the next day at 5 pm. Then for this day is left only two times bandages - evening and night

"Take care of it now and it will look great for a lifetime."

The following days

— Intention

Every tattoo begins long before the needle.

With the right conversation, a thoughtful sketch and a genuine understanding of what matters to you. We never rush the beginning — because the beginning shapes everything.

— Comfort

A space where you feel safe and at ease.

The studio is designed without rush or pressure — only a space where you can breathe. Because how you feel during the session is just as important as the result.

— Craft

No templates. Every piece is made for you.

We work with respect for your skin, your idea and your body. Each design is unique — created from scratch with care for how it will look and last over time.
