Looking after your tattoo.

How you look after your tattoo plays a very important role in how your tattoo will turn out. If this is not done properly a lot of things can go wrong. These include infections, problems with healing, and sometimes parts of the tattoo can disappear completely.

After you have had your tattoo we will give you a care card with instructions on how to look after it. This should be followed closely as a tattoo is basically an open wound and should be treated as such. We do offer an excellent healing balm which is produced especially for tattoos. Elgato Negro Tattoo Care is 100% Vegan, 100% organic and 100% natural. This is the only product we recommend using.

DO'S AND DON'TS

• DO keep the tattoo clean and dry.
• DO regularly apply the balm. 
• DON'T scratch the area.
• DON'T pick the area.
• DON'T go swimming.
• DON'T sunbathe.
• DON'T soak the tattoo.
• DON'T go in a sauna.

The tattoo should take approximately 1-2 weeks to heal depending on size and amount of work put into the tattoo.
