Frequently Asked Questions

With second skin :
Keep it until next morning. Then take a shower and remove it. Clean your tattoo. Dry it with a clean towel. Put the fresh second skin on it. This one you can keep for 3 - 4 days. Remove it like the first one, then start hydrating your tattoo 3 times per day until it is healed.
Showering is allowed with a second skin.
If you feel that the second skin itches too much or your skin gets pimples/reddish, remove it and follow the instructions “without second skin”. Same if the second skin falls out before 3 days. Keep in mind that the second skin is only safe and efficient when it is 100% sealed so from the moment there’s an opening, it might become a germ pool and therefore dangerous for infections.
Without second skin :
On the first day you will go out of the studio with a plastic foil around your tattoo. A few hours later, when you´re home, you remove it. Clean your hands, wash your tattoo with water and/or baby wipes until all the dirt comes out. Then you dry it with a clean towel and start to put the aftercare cream (Bepanthen Wund-und Heilsalbe or coconut oil/shea butter) 3 times per day until complete healing of the skin. It´s better to put a thin layer of cream often than a fat layer once per day. Get the cream into the skin.
On your first night, wrap your tattoo in clean plastic foil before going to bed (no need to cream it before) and remove the plastic when you get up in the morning. Clean it. Then start with the tattoo cream.
The 3 first days are the most important because the skin is still open and can get infected. Then after, in average your skin will take 4 to 6 weeks to heal.

Depending on your skin, the size of the tattoo and if the tattoo is packed with colors or just simple outlines, you can expect between 4 and 6 weeks to heal completely in average.

In both case at least for 2 weeks :
Always clean your hands before touching your fresh tattoo
No sun (or worst solarium) : sun and fresh tattoo are a really bad mix. It will alternate the colors of your tattoo
No public water : lake, swimming pool, sea, … It is full of germs and bacterias you want to avoid !
Don t make it sweat : no sauna, hamam, sportclub
Don t soak your tattoo : no bath, no foam party
Don t scratch your tattoo, ever
Don t let people touch it, animals lick it
And absolutely no alcohol drinking

You do you and I don´t judge if you want to party after getting tattooed. Just be mindful about what you take : alcohol makes your blood thiner and is a big no go for fresh tattoos, uppers make you sweat and that´s not great for the new ink, weed is not a problem at all, psychedelics are not so much of a problem but if you trip balls for 24h will you be able to take care of your new tattoo ?
If you go to a club, absolutely have a sealed second skin on your tattoo so it won´t get infected.
You´re allergic to the glue of the second skin ? Then bring baby wipes with you to clean your hands and your tattoo and take some tattoo cream to hydrate your tattoo.
In any case drink sodas or water. And when you go home, take a shower, clean your tattoo/remove the second skin.
Have fun play safe

It can happen for many reasons and in the vast majority of the time, it is nothing to worry about.
The important point is to clean your tattoo with baby wipes 3-4 times per day and monitor your infection. It should resorb within 24h. If it gets very swollen and starts to hurt, go to your doctor.
