After care
Please follow the specific aftercare instructions given to you at your appointment.
If you have any questions or concerns about your new tattoo, please contact me directly on info@jordenshane.nl or on Whatsapp on 0031-(0)623170044.
Your tattoo will be wrapped with clingfilm before you leave the studio – leave this on until you get home. Unless advised otherwise, do not re-wrap your tattoo. If your tattoo is wrapped with Second Skin or Dermalize this can be left on for up to 4 days – this will all be discussed at your appointment.
Make sure to wash your hands before touching your new tattoo every time. After removing the wrapping, wash the tattoo and surrounding area gently warm, clean water. You can use unscented soap to remove any excess plasma or blood from the skin, please use a small amount.
Pat your tattoo dry with a clean paper towel and let the area fully air-dry. Apply a thin layer of product over your tattoo. I recommend Bepanthen or Vaseline, or a natural/fragrance-free moisturiser. Massage it gently into the skin until it is completely absorbed, do not leave a thick layer of cream on your tattoo.
Make sure to repeat the above process 2 to 3 times a day for a minimum of 5 days. Once your tattoo is starting to heal, please leave it to heal naturally, making sure the tattoo is moisturised and never dry. Do not scratch your tattoo as this can cause scarring or infections.
During the healing process you will not be able to be in any water – swimming in pools or oceans or having a bath is not advised. Also absolutely no sunbathing. Showering is fine, make sure to pat your tattoo dry with a clean towel afterwards, do not rub. After your tattoo is healed, please use a factor 50 sun cream.
