7 Days Before Appointment

  • Take a warm shower or bath.

  • Shave the area with a good razor.

  • Moisturize after shaving.

​

6 Days Before Appointment

  • Moisturize in the morning and before bed.

  • Skip moisturizing if skin feels oily or smooth.

​

3-5 Days Before Appointment

  • Continue moisturizing routine from Day 6.

  • Hydrate.

​

2 Days Before Appointment

  • Take a hot shower or bath to open your pores.

  • Shave the area with a good razor; dry immediately and moisturize.

  • Increase water intake.

​

1 Day Before Appointment

  • Check skin; it should be smooth and well-moisturized.

  • Hydrate.

  • Have a balanced meal.

Post-Care

Immediately After Tattooing

  • The tattoo will be covered with a bandage; keep it on overnight until the next morning.

  • Have a healthy, nutritious meal and rest (avoid partying and alcohol).

  • Sleep in clean sheets without pets.

​

Next Morning

  • Remove the bandage and take a shower or bath.

  • Wash your fresh tattoo with water and unscented soap.

​

1) Second Skin Protection

  • After showering and washing the tattoo, pat it dry with a paper towel or let it air dry.

  • Apply the second skin as demonstrated.

  • The second skin creates a breathable shield, protecting your tattoo and allowing natural healing.

  • Keep the second skin on for 3-5 days.

​

2) Regular Healing

  • After showering and washing the tattoo, pat it dry with a clean towel or let it air dry.

  • Wear clean, loose clothing and ensure bed sheets are fresh.

  • Keep the tattoo clean and dry; consider taking a few days off to rest.

  • Avoid physical activities, swimming in lakes, pools, or hot tubs.

  • Start using moisturizer on Day 2 or 3.

  • Stay hydrated and eat well.
