PROCESS
• leave the protective foil on the skin for 2 – 3 days (shower – yes / bath – no)
• if the foil peels off beforehand, it is better to remove it completely
• if redness appears at the edge of the foil, please remove the foil directly as well
• after a few days, carefully remove the foil from one corner under the shower and slowly pull it off in the direction of the skin
• adhesive residues sometimes remain on the skin, these disappear in the next few days
• wash off wound water & color residues without soap, shampoo or shower gel with light circular movements shortly after removing the film
• after the shower, pat the tattoo dry with a clean towel or kitchen roll (no rubbing!)
• leave the tattoo untouched for a short time, then start the aftercare
• regularly 3 – 5 times a day apply a thin layer of cream ( do not let the tattoo dry out!)
• week by week you can reduce the daily creaming
• recommendation for the aftercare: Bepanthen Antiseptic Wound Cream or Pegasus Tattoo Cream from the pharmacy
• do not worry about residues or crusts, they will disappear in the next few days by applying cream or under the shower (avoid any scratching!)
• after 4 – 5 weeks the tattoo is completely healed, please send me a picture by mail, as FineLine Tattoos sometimes need to be touched up
• a single touch up is free of charge within the first 6 months
