After Tattoo

Day 1:

Get home safe, eat well and get plenty of rest. Your skin is healing, so please be mindful. You can sleep with the folia covering your tattoo. Noemi ensured it’s protected. Just make sure to remove and change the folia the next day in the morning.

If the folia moves, gets damaged, or if there’s excess liquid underneath, remove the plastic wrap and follow these instructions carefully. 

  • Before you touch the tattooed area – wash your hands.
  • Rinse your tattoo with clean, lukewarm water.
  • Wash it with antibacterial soap or foam
  • Gently pat your tattoo dry with a clean paper towel
  • Apply thin layer of tattoo cream
  • Re-wrap your tattoo with plastic wrap.
  • Rest and relax.

Day 2:

It’s essential to keep your tattooed skin clean and apply the tattooed skincare cream at least twice a day. Since your skin is still healing and sensitive, consider re-wrapping it. For optimal healing, it’s advisable to sleep with the folia on for 2-3 nights. Your dedication to proper aftercare is truly appreciated.

  • Before you touch the tattooed area – wash your hands.
  • Remove the plastic wrap
  • Rinse your tattoo with clean, lukewarm water.
  • Wash it with antibacterial soap or foam
  • Gently pat your tattoo dry with a clean paper towel.
  • Apply a thin layer of tattoo cream.
  • Re-wrap your tattoo with plastic wrap.

From Day 3 onwards:

Maintain a clean environment for your new tattoo, washing it regularly and applying tattooed skincare cream several times a day over the next 2 weeks. 

After this period, feel free to use any normal moisturising body lotion. Continue with your normal life routine: gym, bath, swimming, tight clothes… And remember, always protect your tattoo with SPF 50 sunscreen when sunbathing. Your dedication to caring for your tattoo is truly commendable.

  • Before you touch the tattooed area – wash your hands.
  • Remove the plastic wrap under running water.
  • Rinse your tattoo with clean, lukewarm water.
  • Gently pat your tattoo dry with a clean paper towel.
  • Clean the skin around the tattoo with alcohol prep tissues.
  • Reapply DERMALIZE FOLIA and leave it on for 1-5 days.

Afterward, continue with the skincare routine from Day 3. Your commitment to proper aftercare ensures the best healing for your tattoo.

Remember:

Getting a new tattoo involves breaking the skin surface so there is always a potential risk for infection to occur afterwards. Your tattoo should be treated as a wound initially. It is important that this advice is followed so that the infection risk can be minimised.

Your tattoo will consist of an area of tiny skin breaks, caused by the tattooing needles, so it should be kept covered. Dressing, applied by the artist can be removed afterwards for at least 3-5 hours. This dressing is only intended to get you home without the treated area catching on clothing, or being exposed to the air. The dressing will also help to stop bleeding/fluid oozing, but should be removed before it dries onto the treated area ( latest next day in the morning ). Remember, your tattoo is like a precious work of art, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. After 5-6 weeks, we invite you for a follow-up appointment where we can ensure your tattoo looks its best. This initial touch-up, essential for perfecting your tattoo after healing, is a complimentary service included in the original price. Your satisfaction is our priority.

Wishing you a smooth healing journey and a lifetime of enjoyment with your new ink! Thank Noémi Kovács
