§ Take care of it
Aftercare
Your tattoo and piercing need care the first weeks — that's how the lines last and the jewellery settles right. This is what we tell you in the chair.
Tattoo
-
01
The first hours
Leave the wrap on for 2–4 hours. Then wash gently with clean hands, lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean cloth.
-
02
Day 1–14
A thin layer of fragrance-free ointment 2–3 times a day. Let it breathe — don't wrap it. Never pick scabs or flakes.
-
03
Avoid
Sun, tanning beds, pools, sauna and sea for 2–3 weeks. Chlorine, salt and bacteria can ruin the lines while it heals.
-
04
Fine lines last
The calmer you heal, the sharper the fine lines stay long-term. Keep the skin moisturised and don't scratch.
Piercing
-
01
Cleaning
Rinse 1–2 times daily with sterile saline. Otherwise touch it as little as possible — always clean hands.
-
02
The first weeks
Don't change the jewellery too early, and don't twist it. Sleep without pressure on it, and keep hair, make-up and cream away.
-
03
Patience
Pool, sauna and sea wait until it's healed. It takes time — cartilage and septum longest. That's normal.
§ In doubt?
In doubt — about a scab, some redness, jewellery that feels tight — just write. We'd rather answer one question too many than have you worrying.
