Proper healing is half of the final result. ✨ Right after your session Soreness, swelling, tenderness — totally normal. ✨ Day after Remove second skin in the shower, wash with soap, gently dry. Tattoo must be clean & dry before applying new second skin. 🚫 No lotion or ointment before second skin. ✨ Days 1–7 (with second skin) Live your life & forget about the tattoo if you can 🙂 Itchiness around days 4–5 = active healing. 🚫 Don’t scratch. If edges lift — add another layer on top, don’t remove early. 🚫 Avoid sauna, pools, lakes, ocean & sweating ✅ Showering is fine ⚠️ Do NOT remove second skin before 7 days Especially important for color tattoos — early removal can pull pigment. ✨ After day 7 Remove slowly in the shower. Itchiness or flaking is normal. ✨ Moisturizing phase For at least 1 week: moisturize several times a day with a rich, fragrance-free lotion. Questions during healing?
