Our Studio

A good tattoo starts with a well-thought-out idea – and stays beautiful with the right aftercare.

Check out our tips for tattoo care and aftercare.

1. Immediately after getting tattooed
   
   • Hygiene is key: Your fresh tattoo is an open wound. Touch it only with clean, freshly washed hands.
   • Protective film: Leave the protective bandage on according to your studio’s instructions. It protects against dirt and germs.
   • After removing the film, gently clean the skin with clean, lukewarm water and pH-neutral soap.
   • Pat the tattoo dry with a fresh paper towel – never rub!
     
     
2. The first few days
   
   • Apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare cream (e.g., Panthenol or a special tattoo ointment).
   • Apply cream 2–4 times a day – the tattoo should never dry out, but also not be soaked.
   
   
3. Healing phase
   
   • A crust or scabbing may form – do not scratch or pick it off, as it can damage color and details.
   • No swimming pools, saunas, or full baths!
   • No sunbathing or tanning beds – UV rays can fade a fresh tattoo.
   
   
4. Long-term care
   
   • Protect your tattoo from UV rays using sunscreen.
   • Keep the skin well-moisturized, for example with a mild body lotion.
