Aftercare information for tattoos in Madrid

The aftercare of a freshly inked tattoo is crucial to ensure quick healing and optimal results. Here are some important aspects of tattoo aftercare:

Cling film and removal: after tattooing, the tattoo artist usually covers the new tattoo with cling film. This film protects against dirt and bacteria. Leave the cling film on the tattoo for the time recommended by the tattoo artist. Then carefully remove the foil and wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap.

Healing and moisturising: After cleaning the tattoo, it is important to cover it with a thin layer of a non-irritating, fragrance-free moisturiser. Repeat this process several times a day to ensure the tattoo does not dry out.

No scratching or rubbing: Avoid scratching or rubbing the fresh tattoo as this can impair healing. Wear loose clothing to minimise friction.

Avoid direct sunlight and water: Protect your fresh tattoo from direct sunlight and excessive water. Avoid swimming pools, whirlpools or long baths during the healing phase.

No peelings or Bepanthen ointment: Do not use peelings or Bepanthen ointments unless your tattoo artist specifically recommends this. These products can impair healing.

Watch for infection: Keep the tattoo clean and watch for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, pus or excessive pain. In the event of complications, you should consult your tattoo artist or a doctor immediately.

Regular follow-up: After the initial healing phase, it is important to check the tattoo regularly and ensure that it has healed well. If any irregularities occur, please call us immediately.

Long-term care: In the long term, it is important to protect your tattoo from sunlight to minimise fading. Use sunscreen when necessary and take care of the skin around the tattoo.

Our tattoo artists will provide specific instructions for aftercare. It is important to follow these instructions closely to achieve the best possible results and ensure the health of your skin.
