When the tattoo artist is finished, you are responsible for taking care of your tattoo.
The tattoo is a wound and therefore good hygiene routines are important before it is healed.

Start by removing the compress after 1-4 hours.
Before touching your new tattoo, always wash your hands with soap and water.
Dry hands with a new clean towel or air dry.
Start by washing the tattoo and the skin around it with a mild soap (preferably liquid) and water.
Allow to air dry.
Apply the ointment recommended by the studio.

Then apply new ointment morning and evening.
Remember to always clean your hands before application.
The most important thing is to keep the tattoo dry and clean.

Applying ointment too often or in excessive amounts often results in delayed healing and poorer final results.
Follow your tattoo artist's recommendations.

You can shower with a tattoo that is not healed (short showers). During healing, all types of bathing should be avoided.

Feel free to wear clean, airy clothes while the tattoo heals.

Avoid sunbathing until the tattoo is completely healed.
Being out in the sun, on the other hand, is only useful.

Remember that open wounds can spread infection.
Therefore, avoid training where the wound may come into contact with another person or training equipment.

Avoid touching the tattoo unnecessarily, don't fidget!

If you have problems with your tattoo, contact your tattoo artist, the healthcare system and preferably the municipality's health protection unit.

Good luck with your new tattoo and feel free to ask if you are unsure about anything.
