How to care for a fresh tattoo

We recommend two methods of tattoo care.
General rules:
- It is strictly forbidden to visit baths, saunas, and gyms for a month after getting a tattoo.
- Postpone trips to the sea and tanning salons for a month after getting a tattoo.
- When staying in the sun, use sunscreen with a high level of protection to prevent the tattoo from fading, ensuring comfort during your rest.
Method One:
Using the healing film Suprasorb-F. This film is applied to the tattoo immediately after the session. The film should be worn for six to seven days after getting the tattoo. The advantages of this method are:
- Complete protection of the tattoo from external infection and mechanical damage.
- The ability to take a shower the day after applying the film.
- Moderate exercise and physical activity.
On the second day, lymph and excess pigment accumulate under the film, which is normal and should not worry the tattoo wearer. In the following days, the contents under the film will gradually dry up until the sixth day of wearing it. On the evening of the sixth or seventh day, to remove the Suprasorb-F more effectively, it is necessary to soften it with warm water before gently and slowly removing it. After that, wash the tattoo with soap, pat it dry with a paper towel. Then, moisturize it with cream and continue moisturizing as needed (if the skin is dry) for the next 4-5 days. The tattoo can be considered healed when the peeling and dryness subside, and the tattoo area takes on a matte appearance.
Method Two:
Care with Bepanthen Baby Ointment (not cream or gel, only the ointment). Apply a thin layer of the ointment so that the skin can absorb oxygen, without covering or wrapping the tattoo (film, gauze, bandage).
Before each application, the tattoo should be washed with a soapy solution of boiled or distilled water at room temperature. Washing the tattoo with this solution removes the lymph, excess pigment, and remnants of the previous ointment. Afterward, allow the tattoo to dry (10-20 minutes), then apply a thin layer of ointment. This procedure should be done 3 to 5 times a day for 3-5 days. From the 5th to the 10th day, moisturize with the same ointment (a thin layer of ointment 1-2 times a day), which will eliminate dryness until complete healing. With this care method, do not touch the tattoo with unwashed hands, and especially do not scratch it. The scab that forms should not be removed under any circumstances, as neglecting these rules can damage the tattoo.
PS: Tattoos that need correction within a MONTH after being applied are done free of charge. If you have any questions about care, please contact us immediately.

How to care for a piercing after the procedure

For piercings such as: Nose – nostril, septum, Ear – lobe, cartilage, tragus, rook, conch, antitragus, industrial.
Eyebrow: During the healing period (from 10 to 45 days, depending on the location), wash the piercing area with 3% hydrogen peroxide or chlorhexidine, and regularly use Levomekol ointment. It is recommended to perform this procedure 5 to 8 times a day during the first 10 days (after the 10th day, care can be reduced to 3-4 times a day). Soak a cotton pad with the solution and gently wipe the piercing area, making sure the solution reaches the channel, removing any scabs or discharge from the piercing.
After each cleaning, carefully and slowly rotate the earring to remove any discharge from it. Levomekol is used twice a day, in the morning and evening. The ointment is applied with a cotton swab, using a small amount on the earring itself, then the earring should be rotated so the ointment reaches the channel.
For piercings such as: Navel, nipples – the following care is recommended:
For nipple piercings, it is advisable to wear sports bras, ensuring they are lace-free and without thick foam padding, so the piercing can breathe.
For a navel piercing, avoid clothing made from fuzzy fabrics, as well as clothing that may mechanically affect the piercing (e.g., high-waisted jeans). During the entire healing period, it is necessary to:
- Avoid injury to the piercing area
- Avoid touching it with dirty hands
- Do not change the earring until it is fully healed (1 to 6 months).
Recommendations for piercings such as: Tongue, lip frenulum – smile and anti-smile piercings, Lip – Monroe, Madonna, Medusa, Labret.
Lip piercings and other oral piercings require special care because bacteria inside and around the mouth increase the risk of infection. Additionally, there is an increased risk of transmitting certain diseases, and the jewelry can cause problems with the teeth and gums.
To ensure the piercing heals properly, it must be kept clean and dry. Do not touch or disturb the piercing unless necessary. Also, it is important to avoid certain foods and activities. After every meal, drink, or cigarette, rinse your mouth for 30 seconds with an alcohol-free mouthwash or a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide + water.* Don’t forget to rinse your mouth before going to bed.

*To prepare the hydrogen peroxide solution, mix ¼ of hydrogen peroxide in a glass of boiled water.

Care after the laser color correction procedure

Rules for post-procedure care after color correction with a solid-state laser.
After the procedure, apply petroleum jelly (a thick layer) to protect the damaged skin area from bacteria and microbes. Once home, gently remove the petroleum jelly with a dry tissue using clean hands and apply a thin layer of LEVOMECOL (ointment). This ointment contains an antibiotic, which aids in effective healing and lightening. Before each application, wash the tattoo with a soapy solution of boiled water at room temperature, thus removing the lymph fluid and any residue from the previous ointment. Afterward, allow it to dry for 10-15 minutes, then apply a thin layer of ointment. This procedure should be repeated 3 to 5 times a day for 7-14 days, until the scabs and dryness fully subside.
If scabs form, do not peel them off to avoid scarring. The scabs will naturally fall off with the ointment. Do not scratch. The next laser color correction procedure can be performed no earlier than 1-1.5 months after the previous one. A recommended interval is two months. This period is for the complete healing of the damaged skin area. During the healing process, the following should be avoided: saunas, pools, baths, intense physical activity, exposure to direct sunlight, and tanning beds.
Attention!!!
After the procedure, redness and swelling may occur, which can last up to a week.
When lightening dense areas, blisters may appear, which is normal and should not be alarming. The key is to NOT puncture them and apply the ointment very carefully. After a day or two, they will subside. If you have any questions, please contact us immediately.
