How do you care for new tattoos?

Tattooing a design onto the skin means leaving many small wounds on it. This is because a thin needle dipped in pigment penetrates the second layer of skin, the dermis, 10,000 times per minute during tattooing. This depth is necessary so that the color pigments do not gradually disappear due to natural renewal processes in the upper layer of the skin, but instead remain visible for a long time.

First of all, the tattoo artist must take a professional approach so that the resulting stitches can heal well without causing inflammation or scarring. The loss of tattoo ink is referred to as "bleeding". However, it is also necessary to care for the wound and skin after tattooing. In other words, taking care of your new tattoo will speed up the healing process and help ensure that even the best lines stay sharp years later.

Care instructions: How should I care for the tattoo afterwards?

It is very important to care for the tattoo immediately after it has been engraved. To avoid microbial contamination, the tattoo artist sterilizes the skin area and covers it with a transparent film. After 6-8 hours, the protection should be removed to allow air access to the affected skin area. The skin must then be cared for: Cleansing and moisturizing should be done at least twice a day. This makes it more difficult for crusts to form and reduces the risk of scars. To do this, wash the wound with warm water and pH-neutral soap. Clean the affected area as carefully as possible with a soft cloth. Then apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare ointment.
