De tattoo industrie
is enorm populair over
de hele wereld.

The desire to adorn your body with various images is very common among many people, and some of them cannot resist the urge to cover their body completely.

A tattoo is a fantastic way to stand out from the crowd and demonstrate your uniqueness and life values to the world. Especially the younger generation understands this very well, as for them, self-expression is of utmost importance. But one should not assume that a tattoo is something only for outsiders or freaks, as a large number of actors, musicians, athletes, and other celebrities have adorned themselves with tattoos. And for this reason, their fans, in an effort to resemble their idols, also get tattooed. Besides an aesthetic side, tattoos also have a practical side - hiding scars, birthmarks, and other skin imperfections that affect a person's self-esteem. Therefore, it's no surprise that this type of service is becoming increasingly popular. What tattoo owners are truly interested in is the proper aftercare for the tattoo. Unfortunately, the answer is impossible to get, as there are as many masters as there are opinions. To date, there are so many different techniques, materials, and preparations available that it's impossible to give a straightforward answer. The creation of a tattoo involves various pigments, machines, and others, which depends entirely on the master. Therefore, care advice varies from master to master. But there's no time for worries, as the master will certainly provide a detailed care system for your new tattoo after the session.

Especially in this case, the first 5-6 hours are crucial, as this is when the fate of the design is determined.

The optimal solution is the use of a special film. When getting a tattoo, you definitely don’t want to hide it from everyone, including yourself. However, leaving a tattoo completely unprotected is, to say the least, unwise. This has to do with the exposure of a fresh tattoo to various bacteria and dust with dirt. Therefore, it's important to be extra careful during the first week after getting a new tattoo and avoid all external influences that could disrupt the design, so you can enjoy it every day. Otherwise, the design risks being damaged, and you might need to have it corrected by a specialist or even removed by laser. When the tattoo is finished, the master will cover the tattoo with a protective film. This protects the tattoo from external influences. Bacteria can not only affect the tattoo but also cause a skin infection. After the master has sealed the tattoo area with film, the fate of the tattoo entirely rests on your shoulders. The quality of the further integrity of the design and your own health are determined by you.

This is a specially designed film for the rapid healing of tattoos.

Thanks to this film, you no longer have to worry about mechanical, chemical, and other influences on the tattoo. Taking a shower, wearing your favorite and comfortable clothing, and not having to apply bandages constantly are among the main benefits of the special film. Other positive features of this film include:

• The accessibility of oxygen to the tattoo area, which speeds up the healing process;
• The transparency of the film allows for the condition of the tattoo to be monitored at any desired time;
• The film is applied once for a period of six days, during which the full healing process takes place;
• Absolute protection against water;
• The elasticity of the film ensures that it maintains its position on the body, even when moving.
  

Cut a piece of film to the desired length.

Then remove the red edges of the film and apply it to the desired body part. Smooth the film over the entire surface, avoiding sudden movements to not affect the integrity of the tattoo. Note: folds or air bubbles in the film are not allowed. The film should maintain a margin of a few centimeters from the edges of the tattoo itself. First treatment of the tattoo - by applying the film to the body part, the master will inform you of the timing of the first treatment of the tattoo.

Depending on the size of the design, this timeframe can vary from 4 to 6 hours.

Let's go through the step-by-step instructions for removing the film and treating the tattoo.

Wash your hands beforehand. Remove the film from the tattooed area with clean hands. Many panic when they see a tattoo imprint on the film - this is completely normal. Wash off the ichor from the tattoo. Add a little liquid soap to clean water. Products that contain alcohol are not suitable. Avoid the use of washcloths, even the softest. Use only the palm of your hand and rinse the pus gradually. You will likely see that some of the ink washes away with the pus. This is normal and to be expected. It's the excess that's not needed. It is forbidden to dry the rinsed area. It is allowed to only lightly dab it. Let the tattoo fully dry. A special healing ointment is applied to the dried area. Carefully spread over the entire surface of the tattoo. After treating the tattooed spot, it must be covered with a special film. If you do not have the film recommended by the master, ordinary household film is also suitable, but it must be secured with a plaster.

The entire procedure should be repeated three times a day (morning, afternoon, and evening), with the film being replaced with a new one each time.

The duration is a few days. The main guidelines for tattoo aftercare particularly concern the first three days, which are crucial for the healing process. During these days, special attention should be paid to sterility. During the healing process, you may experience itching, which is normal. However, scratching the tattoo is not allowed, as this can compromise the integrity of the tattoo. The layer formed on the tattoo will come off on its own; removing it yourself is not allowed. After three days, the use of the film can be discontinued. One of the main rules is to keep the skin where the tattoo is applied moist. The formation of a crust can lead to irreversible consequences. By following these simple rules, you can preserve your tattoo for years.

Leave panic aside and immediately treat the damaged tattoo.

First, remove any excess pus/blood from the skin surface. Second, apply a healing ointment to the area. Third, cover the area with a film or bandage. Until the wound is completely healed, you should continually apply ointment to the area and replace the film. If the design is disturbed, you can contact the artist for a correction.

This process usually takes two weeks, depending on individual circumstances.

A short list of recommendations to prevent damage to the tattoo:

• A ban on visiting bathhouses, saunas, and spa treatments for 20 days;
• 10 days without sports activities;
• Protection of the tattoo from the outside environment;
• No sunbathing or exposure to the sun for a month;
• Showering only, no baths;
• Treat the skin before showering to create an extra layer between the skin and water;
• No alcohol consumption for the first 2-3 weeks;
• If possible, avoid blood-thinning medications;

If the recommendation is not followed, the tattoo may become hardened or crusty. This will affect the integrity of the tattoo design. Only by following the recommendations can a quality tattoo be guaranteed. Do not hesitate to consult the master, but do not abuse his help. By following all the recommendations, the tattoo will heal properly. And then you can proudly show it to the surrounding world.
