Lubricating your new tattoo | do's and don'ts

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when caring for your new tattoo is letting it dry out. Why? A dried-out tattoo heals less quickly. The skin can pull, crack, and even form scabs. This disrupts the healing process and can lead to scarring or color loss. So? Moisturize regularly!

A fresh tattoo is essentially an open wound that needs time to heal. Choose a product that is specially developed for tattoo healing, such as TattooMed After Tattoo.

Important! Absolutely do not use regular moisturizing cream.

Avoid creams or ointments with aggressive ingredients or perfumes, as these can cause irritation and hinder healing.

A good tattoo aftercare cream or ointment does more than just moisturize. It is the guardian angel of your fresh tattoo, helping with recovery, soothing itching, and preventing infections.

Realize that not every aftercare cream or ointment is suitable for everyone. Some people may experience allergic reactions or irritations, even from products considered mild. Bepanthen, for example, is a popular choice, but not everyone tolerates it equally well. This can lead to rashes, bumps, or other undesirable side effects.

TIP: Always apply a new aftercare product to a small patch of skin first before applying it to your entire tattoo.

TattooMed's After Tattoo aftercare cream is specially developed for tattoos. It spreads easily, absorbs quickly, and leaves no greasy residue. This allows your skin to breathe and prevents the cream from sticking to your clothes.

TattooMed After Tattoo contains 7% Panthenol, a powerful ingredient that helps repair the skin and reduce inflammation. The cream is free of parabens, animal ingredients, and wool fat/lanolin, and suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

• Spreads easily: No fuss with thick, greasy ointments.

• Accelerates healing: Supports the skin's natural recovery process.

• Anti-inflammatory: Protects against infections.

• Soothes itching and pain: Thanks to Panthenol, which also relieves burning sensations.

• Non-sticky: No stains on your clothes, your skin can breathe.

• Suitable for all skin types: Even the most sensitive skin.

• After the film: If you used second skin or film, only start moisturizing after you have removed it.

• Thin and regular: Apply a thin layer of cream, 3 to 4 times a day, until your tattoo is fully healed.

• Hygiene first: Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo.

TIP: If your tattoo is covered with second skin tattoo film, leave it on for at least 3-5 days. The longer the better. This creates an optimal moist wound environment, which promotes healing.

Before applying the aftercare cream, it is crucial to thoroughly clean your tattoo. This removes excess blood, ink, or loose skin, which helps prevent infections. This is especially important the first time you remove the film from your new tattoo.

Use a special tattoo soap for this, such as TattooMed Cleansing Gel.

Tip: Wait to moisturize until your tattoo is completely dry. Otherwise, the aftercare cream will not absorb properly. (See photo below)

If you accidentally applied too much cream or ointment to your tattoo, remove the excess. It's not good for your tattoo's healing process if you leave too much cream on. Your skin can't breathe enough, and you essentially clog your pores, which can lead to bumps or pimples on your tattoo.

You can moisturize as often as you like per day, as long as you don't apply too thickly. You will feel best what your tattoo needs. We recommend moisturizing your tattoo 4 times a day for the first few days. After that, you can suffice with 2-3 times a day. Just keep a close eye on your tattoo.

You continue to moisturize your tattoo until it feels completely smooth. That's when all the flakes and scabs have disappeared. Then the outer layer of your skin has healed. That's about two to three weeks. After that, you can switch to a cream that protects the colors of your tattoo, our Daily tattoo care ☀️
