We at Euro Tattoo Studio take great pride and care to give you the best
and most artistic Tattoo possible. As we have no control of how you take care of your
Tattoo once you leave our Studio, here are a few tips on how to take care of your Tattoo
while the healing process is taking place so your Tattoo looks great forever.
The Tattoo will ooze (lymph) this is a sign that healing is taking place. We
have been tattooing in Europe and the whole world since 1982 and from experience we have
learned that the best way to take care of your Tattoo is to cover the Tattoo with Glad
Wrap® directly after the Tattoo is finished for the first two days. If left alone
with no cream and no Glad Wrap® the Tattoo will dry up leaving a scab that will
take a long time to fall off and will cause discomfort. The scab is caused by the lymph
drying out. The lymph has great healing properties while it is still moist. So we wash the
Tattoo down with warm water using a clean soft paper roll. Then Bepanthen Cream is to be
lightly spread over the Tattoo and the Tattoo covered with a new piece of Glad Wrap®
which is taped down on all four sides with soft bandage tape so no air reaches to the
Tattoo. This bandage should be taken off 4 to 5 times a day and the Tattoo washed and
creamed and covered again in the same manner. This procedure is very important so no
infection can take place. Especially before retiring to bed the Tattoo should be washed
down, creamed and covered with Glad Wrap® again and taped down so the bandage
won't be moved while sleeping so no lint from the bed spread etc. comes on the Tattoo and
the Tattoo won't dry out. After the two days you don't need the Glad Wrap®
anymore, but cream the Tattoo every day with Bepanthen Cream a few times a day for the
next 2 to 3 weeks till healed so the Tattoo won't dry up. If you have not creamed your
Tattoo a scab will form. Don't pick any scab. In these two weeks also do not soak your
Tattoo in water for long periods i.e. bathing. Stay out of the sun until the Tattoo is
completely healed i.e. 2 to 3 weeks because the new Tattoo will burn very fast. After your
Tattoo is healed you should always put a sunscreen on your Tattoo when going in the sun
because the sun fades the colours away. If you follow these Instructions you should not
have any problems with your Tattoo. |
