AFTERCARE ADVICE

Instructions to Follow for 2-3 Weeks:

1. Protection Duration:
  - Keep the protective covering on for a minimum of 24 hours, but ideally for 3-4 days.

2. Removing the Protection:
  - Remove the protection in the shower once it's time, or if it starts to fall off and exposes part of the tattoo.

3. Washing the Tattoo:
  - Wash your tattoo carefully with warm, soapy water using clean hands. Avoid using a sponge or anything abrasive.
  - Rinse all the soap off thoroughly to minimize irritation.

4. Drying the Tattoo:
  - Gently dab the tattoo dry with a fresh piece of kitchen roll or a clean towel.

5. Applying Cream:
  - Apply a thin layer of BEPANTHEN® or EASY TATTOO cream.
  - Repeat this process 2-3 times a day, both in the morning and evening. Always wash your hands before applying the cream.

Important Guidelines:

Hand Hygiene:
  - Always wash your hands before touching the tattoo.

Avoiding Irritation:
  - If your tattoo becomes itchy, do not scratch or pick at the ink. Instead, apply some cream.

Physical Activity:
