No. Avoid soaking your tattoo in water (baths, pools, saunas, or hot tubs) for at least 2–3 weeks. Quick showers are fine, but keep the tattoo out of direct water pressure.
Yes! Light peeling and flaking are part of the normal healing process. Do not pick or scratch it, as that can remove color and damage the tattoo.
Slight itching is normal. Apply a small amount of aftercare cream or lotion(depends on the phrase what you have to use), and avoid scratching. If it becomes red, swollen, or painful, contact your artist.
It’s best to avoid sweating heavily or swimming until the tattoo is fully healed (around 1-2 weeks). Sweat and bacteria can irritate or infect the area.In my opinion if the wound has closed you can go to the gym.
Most tattoos take about 2–4 weeks to fully heal on the surface. Deep layers of the skin may continue healing for a few more weeks.
No direct sunlight during the healing process! After it’s healed, always use SPF 50+ sunscreen to protect the colors and prevent fading.
That’s completely normal during the first day or two. It’s just a mix of plasma, excess ink, and a bit of blood. Gently clean it off when changing the foil and rewrap the tattoo.
Yes, during the first night it’s recommended to keep the foil on to protect your tattoo from bacteria and friction. From the second night, you can remove it before sleeping if it’s no longer leaking.
Yes. In the early healing stage, your tattoo may appear slightly dull or shiny. The true colors will come back once the top layer of skin is fully healed.
Choose clean, loose-fitting clothes made of soft cotton. Avoid tight fabrics that can rub against or stick to the tattooed area.
Mild redness or warmth in the first 24–48 hours is normal. If it becomes painful, swollen, or produces yellowish discharge, contact your tattoo artist
Wait at least 2–3 weeks, until the skin is completely healed and smooth again, before shaving over the tattooed area.
Yes, improper aftercare can cause the tattoo to dry out, crack, or lose pigment. Moisturizing and keeping it clean are key to maintaining color and detail.
• Get a good night’s sleep.
• Eat a proper meal beforehand.
• Stay hydrated.

Bring your ID, a bottle of water, and possibly a snack/foood if it’s a long session. You can also bring headphones or something to keep you relaxed during the process.

It depends on the size, detail, and placement of your design.
• Small tattoos can usually be completed in one session.
• Medium to large or detailed tattoos may require 2–4 sessions or more. Full sleeves are around 8 sessions,forearm size around 1-2 sessions, full back around 8-10 sessions.
Most sessions last between 6-7hours, depending on the complexity of the work and your comfort level. Larger projects, such as sleeves or back pieces, are usually done over multiple sittings.
Typically, your skin needs 2–4 weeks to heal before continuing the next session. This allows the skin to recover and ensures the best color and detail retention.
Avoid aspirin or alcohol before your appointment, as they can thin your blood.
