There are various schools of thought worldwide when it comes to “How do you take care of a tattoo?”. It all depends on the tattoo. In our opinion, after the artist wraps the tattoo in plastic film following the session, you should change the dressing at home. Step by step:<\/p>\n
\n- Wash your hands before every dressing change.<\/li>\n
- Remove the old film.<\/li>\n
- Wash the tattoo thoroughly, preferably with antibacterial soap and room-temperature water, and rinse it off.<\/li>\n
- Pat the tattoo dry with paper towels, dabbing gently, not rubbing. Once the skin is dry, apply a layer of special tattoo cream, which you can buy from us at the studio, and spread it out.<\/li>\n
- For the first 2-3 days, cover the tattoo with film after every application, and repeat this (steps 1 through 4) every 2-3 hours.<\/li>\n
- From day 3 to 14, wash the tattoo and apply cream every 2-3 hours, but you no longer need to cover it with film.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":228,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4901","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nTattoo FAQ | Answers from JungleTattoo Tilburg<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Find answers about appointments, preparation, pain, prices, hygiene and tattoo aftercare at JungleTattoo.
