Tips on how to care for a fresh tattoo

After the tattoo is completed, the tattooed place is covered with a protective film.
Leave the foil in place until the evening, ideally even during the first night.
After removing the film, wash the place with lukewarm water and antibacterial soap or special foam that you can buy in Hell, then dry with a clean towel and wait 10-15 minutes until repacking
Then lubricate with a thin layer of tattoo care cream. Available in Hell.
After another 10 minutes, wipe the place with a clean napkin to remove excess grease and allow the skin to breathe.
For the first week, take care of the tattoo 2 times a day, in the morning and in the evening. Later it is enough 1 time per day.
Freshly tattooed skin secretes tissue fluid. If it dries to the clothes, do not tear it off, but soak it in clean water. Otherwise, you can damage the tattoo.
After a couple of days, scales begin to form in the tattooed place as a result of healing. Do not remove them, you could tear off part of the tattoo with them.
for 2 weeks after the tattoo, do not bathe in the pool or outdoors. Take a shower instead of a bath.
