Cream Aftercare

NORMAL SKIN

Using cream (bephanthen - Cocoa Butter - lush dream cream )

  X 3 times a day:

wash the area with mild soap 
Pat dry with clean towel or paper towel if available
Apply small amount of cream

 

GREASY SKIN

In this case I would recommend  very little use of cream to prevent ingrowing hair or spots

Small amounts. could also help the skin breathe in between applications 

 

Remember to wash well the area before applying cream , 

this prevent build up and that leads to spotty  skin or slow healing 

 

 

 

Instructions  and caring for your tattoo with

 “second skin” “dermalize” adhesive wrap 

 

1-First adhesive should be kept for 24 hrs 

When you take off the 1st wrap  is best to do so in the shower, water will help release the stuck areas gently 

2-Wash well the area with mild soap and let dry for few minutes

3- 2nd wrap keep for 3-5 days 

Stick the new wrap on the tattoo making sure is completely sealed around the area 

4-After 3-5 days remove the wrap in the shower , wash well the area and  start using cream 2 times a day

 

Important notes 

The wrap is breathable  and you can take showers with it 
In case of any discomfort remove gently and wash the area and start using cream method heal it .
Sometimes during the tattooing process some areas are touched up many times to achieve some gradients or some  colour effects , in those cases the pain can last few days.
Always remember to wash your hands before touching the tattoo or applying cream, this will reduce the risk to get any bacteria in it.
Remember not to use too much cream, this could make your skin get spotty and irritated.
Any question don’t hesitate to contact your artist  

 

Leaving  the studio with the "puppy training pads" take off before bed, whash gently with warm water and mild soap , finishing with a splash of cold water to help close the pores, apply cream of choice, then wrap again with a new pad and keep overnight, 

morning after, wash gently and apply cream, only use the pads if necesary and might need to use for the second night in case of leaking , 

keep clean and continue with cream aftercare
