the work.

Open / download the guide ↗Wash and dry
Wash your hands first. Gently clean the tattoo using warm water and a mild, unscented antibacterial soap. Rinse and pat dry with clean paper towel.
Moisturise
Keep the tattoo clean. When it feels dry, apply a small amount of your studio-supplied aftercare product or Bepanthen, as instructed.
For the first two weeks
Give it time to heal.
- Avoid swimming and soaking the tattoo.
- Avoid sunbeds and direct sunlight.
- Do not use scented soaps or other chemicals on the area.
- Do not scratch, pick or pull at scabs.
What to expect
Dryness and itching can be normal.
The tattoo may become dry, itchy and scabby during the first week or two. Allow the scabs to come away naturally while the skin continues to heal.
If anything concerns you, send the studio clear photographs on WhatsApp before visiting.
Touch-up policy
One free touch-up.
One free touch-up is available once the tattoo has fully healed. Contact the studio in advance to arrange it—please do not arrive without an appointment.
