Two hours after tattooing, you can remove the foil that the master put over the tattoo, wash it with lukewarm soap-free water and smear the tattoo with a thin layer of Bepanthen ointment. The foil must not be returned over the tattoo, nor wrapped in any other foil, gauze, towels and the like. Only clean cotton clothes without sharp edges that could further irritate the tattooed skin are allowed over the fresh tattoo.

It is advisable to wash a fresh tattoo every morning with clean, lukewarm water, without soap and shampoo, and to dry it in the air or by lightly “tapping” it with a paper towel. Classic towels are not suitable for drying tattoos because of the hairs they contain, which can further irritate a fresh tattoo. Before showering, the tattoo should be protected with a thicker layer of Bepanthen ointment so that the soap and shampoo do not directly touch the freshly tattooed part of the skin. After showering, this excess fat is removed with clean hands or a paper towel.

To maintain the tattoo, use only BEPANTHEN OINTMENT, no other creams and ointments are advised because they can affect the quality of the tattoo. Bepanthen ointment is applied to a fresh tattoo several times a day for a full 14 days. The ointment is applied exclusively in thin layers so that the tattoo is just shiny (there should be no visible layer of fat on the tattoo). At the time of healing, the tattoo should not be “dry”, it should be smeared regularly, several times a day, so that it is greasy all day. It is important to note that during tattoo healing, it is possible for the excess color that comes out along with the lymph from the tattoo to be outlined on clothing or bedding, and it is therefore advisable to wear darker cotton clothing during this time

It is important to treat a fresh tattoo like any other superficial wound – do not expose it to dirt, dust, do not touch it with dirty hands, do not scratch it with clothes or nails. Itching can occur during healing, which is normal, but it is very important that the tattoo is not scratched because you can easily injure it with your nails and thus cause scabs and other problems that can affect the final appearance of the tattoo during healing. If scabs do appear, do not tear them with your fingernails, but let them fall off on their own.

You must not expose the tattoo directly to the sun or solarium for at least three weeks or the recommended one month. With a fresh tattoo, you can go sunbathing only if it will be covered with a sun-proof fabric, under which the skin will still be able to “breathe”. The same goes for swimming in the sea, pool or lake – you must avoid swimming for at least 3 weeks with a fresh tattoo. For the first sunbathes after the tattoo has healed, use sunscreens with a high protection factor.

Two weeks after the tattoo, it is advisable to stop by the salon for a check-up so that the master can examine the tattoo and determine whether the healing has gone as it should. Control is not required. If you have any questions, something is not clear to you or you just want to talk about your tattoo, please call us, send an inquiry via e-mail, Facebook. Do not ask other “experts”, your tattoo master will take care of your work until the end of the process.

The most important part of care are compresses made of PHYSIOLOGICAL SOLUTION (NaCl). This solution of salt and water needs to be warmed up a bit and wiped with paper towels, napkins or gauze (not with cotton wool – it can wrap around the pierce and get tucked under it and thus cause complications). The compresses are applied 2 times a day for 2 weeks.

Note: If you are making saline yourself, the closest ratio is to put 1 teaspoon of salt in 1l of water.

Piercings during healing secrete lymph that will work a tiny scab around the jewelry. It is important not to pluck and tear the scab, it should be softened with warm water and then lightly pick up the scab with an ordinary tissue. As long as the piercing secretes lymph, it means it has not completely healed.

Octenisept spray is an antiseptic that only serves to disinfect the skin and mucous membranes. It can be used as a “first aid” in the care procedure (in case you accidentally touch it with dirty fingers, sweat excessively or stay in the dust), but not more than 3 to 4 times a day because it dries the skin excessively and can cause irritation. It should never be combined with iodine-based products because in combination they can cause an allergic reaction.

First off all, piercings should be kept clean. During the day, rinse them with as much warm water as possible, clean them of lymph, do not touch them with dirty fingers and do not put any cosmetics on them, such as powders, creams, tonics or make-up removers that contain alcohol.

After showering and washing your hair, rinse with as much warm water as possible to make sure no residual shampoo or shower gel is left on the pier.

It is by no means advisable to twist or stretch jewelry. If it is a facial piercing, then it is necessary to change the pillow frequently for the first 2 weeks and, if the hair goes over them, make sure that the hair is clean.

Make sure it is covered with clean, cotton clothing.

The first 2 weeks it is not recommended to wash with anything that contains peeling or with aroma therapy shower gels.

(for women) it is not necessary, but it is recommended to sleep in a bra for the first few days so that you do not have to worry about your pierce getting stuck in sleep, which in itself is not dangerous but can be painful.

Genital piercings, due to strong blood circulation, heal faster and easier than other piercings. It is only necessary to maintain intensive hygiene for the first 2 weeks.

Change daily pads every 2-3 hours

Follow by intimate care soaps

You can use baby wipes but not too often so as not to change the pH of the mucosa

The first 2 weeks of sexual intercourse are not forbidden, but it is good to be more careful and be sure to use protection

For the first 2 weeks, you should not practice unprotected oral sex either

Strictly prohibited in any oral piercing:

• alcohol (7 days)
• drugs (14 days)
• kissing (7 days)
• oral sex without protection (14 days)

Alcohol and drugs are most dangerous in oral piercings because they dilate blood vessels and can lead to uncontrolled swelling and bleeding.

Cigarettes are not forbidden, but it is necessary to rinse your mouth after each one so that nicotine residues do not stay in your mouth.

You can do this with:

• Sage tea (cold and unsweetened)
• Saline (rinse with water afterwards to keep salt out of the mouth)
• Baby propolis drops (a couple of drops in 1 dcl of water)

You need to buy a new toothbrush. In the first week, it is not recommended to brush your teeth with whitening pastes as they could sting and corrode, carbonated drinks have the same effect.

Oral piercings swell and this lasts on average 3 to 6 days. During this time, cool them with cold water, and you can alleviate swelling during the night by sleeping on 2 or 3 pillows.

When piercing the tongue (since the tongue gets very swollen from oral piercings), you can drink ibuprofen, brufen or neofen every 6 hours to alleviate the swelling. By no means an andol because it can intensify bleeding.

Eat as usual, or as much as your tongue pain allows. Avoid overheated and overcooked food. Most people eat softer foods while their tongue is swollen, but you can also consume solid foods. It is not recommended to be on a strict diet that can cause decline in immunity, so the piercing will be much harder to heal and it is not recommended to consume dairy products with a high sugar content (without rinsing your mouth or brushing your teeth) because they can contribute to development of mouth fungus.

The tongue heals relatively quickly due to strong blood circulation, so your piercing is completely formed in a month and a half and it is advisable to put a shorter bar than at the beginning so that it bothers you less and does not knock on your teeth, as this can damage the enamel.
