WHY TATTOO CARE IS SO IMPORTANT
Choosing a good tattoo artist is the first important step to a long-lasting, beautiful tattoo.
However, to ensure that the tattoo looks beautiful for a long time, in addition to the choice of tattoo studio or artist, the aftercare and care of the new tattoo is also an extremely important factor.
THE FIRST DAYS AND WEEKS AFTER THE TATTOO - WHAT TO WATCH OUT IN THE HEALING PHASE
The critical healing phase , in which your tattoo needs a lot of attention and care , takes approx. 2-4 weeks . During this time, you should definitely pay attention to the following points so that your tattoo can heal quickly:
WASH & CREAM
During the 2-4 weeks of the healing phase , you should wash your new tattoo every day at least once in the morning and evening with clean hands, pH-neutral and gentle soap, carefully pat the area dry and apply a wound and healing ointment.
We recommend Creamylab Tattoo Butter!
DO NOT SCRATCH IF IT ITCHES
No matter how much it itches , you should not scratch the fresh tattoo during the healing phase .
Really try to endure it - because it will pass!
However, regular application of tattoo cream also helps against itching.
CORRECT CLOTHES
It is important that the tattooed area does not stick to clothing or other fabrics during the healing phase and that it receives plenty of air .
So make sure you wear loose and airy clothing.
AVOID SUN
During the healing phase, avoid any form of direct sunlight on your new tattoo . This point is particularly important in the healing phase because the UV rays can reach the color pigments directly or through a thinner layer of skin and there is a high risk during this time that the UV radiation can destroy pigments more quickly.
However, there are creams with UV protection that protect your tattoo from sunlight.
We recommend Creamylab Tattoo Butter because it provides natural UV protection.
AVOID SPORTS, SAUNA USE AND SWEATING
When you sweat, the skin and thus also the new tattoo can soften and color pigments are increasingly washed out of the middle layer of the skin because they have not yet been encapsulated by the surrounding skin tissue.
DO NOT BATH - WHETHER IN THE TUB OR SWIMMING POOL
Of course, the skin can become swollen not only by internal influences, but also by external ones. While showering for 10 minutes is still okay, bathing and swimming should be avoided for about 4 weeks.
COLORFUL IN THE RETIREMENT HOME - HOW YOU SHOULD CARE FOR YOUR TATTOO PERMANENTLY SO THAT IT LOOKS GOOD IN THE LONG TERM
With the right aftercare, you shouldn't have any problems after getting your new tattoo.
However, ensuring that your tattoo looks good for a long time depends primarily on the skills of your chosen tattoo artist or studio - but the aftercare after piercing and the long-term care of your tattoo are also extremely important.
In the long term, you need to pay particular attention to two points when caring for your tattoo:
Sun protection and skin care!
Creamylab Tattoo Butter combines both aspects in one product.
