BARAWSKI TATTOOING TATTOO AFTERCARE

  • You must keep the cling film or the pad on for 2/3 hours. After this time remove the cling film using clean hands, warm water and antibacterial soap to wash and remove excess ink, then a final rinse with just cold water. Dry out the tattoo with a clean towel (always dab dry, never rub the tattoo) and apply the pad provided. Make sure the pad is adhere to the tattoo (without being to tight), so it will absorbe all the ink and plasma coming out. Keep it on until the following morning.
  • DAY 1: Remove the pad always with clean hands, warm water and antibacterial soap to wash and remove excess ink, then a final rinse using just cold water. Always wash the tattoo in a shower, never soak in the bath.
  • Dab dry with a clean towel (no sharing) and after letting the tattoo air dry for 20|30 minutes, apply the second pad provided, keep it on until the next morning.
  • DAY 2/3: Remove the second pad and repeat the cleaning process. If the tattoo is still “leaking” give it an extra 24 hours of air dry (no cream/no water), just let it dry out.
  • Following this, apply a thin layer of cocoa butter twice a day for the next 2 weeks.
  • Please make sure the tattoo is completely dry, because you cannot apply the cream if the tattoo is wet. This is extremely important and remember that you need to do everything with clean hands.
  • A tattoo is an open wound and will become itchy when is healing. Do not scratch it, otherwise you will damage the tattoo.
  • Avoid leather and synthetic fabrics. Wear Cotton clothes that won’t irritate the tattoo.
  • Be gentle when you clean your tattoo and do not use excess water.
  • Scabs are rare, but in case you have them do not put cream on it until the areas are fully dry.
  • The tattoo can be painful the day after. Take a day off or 2 days if you got a big area tattooed, so you can give the skin the time it needs to settle and start the healing process.
  • Do not use fake tan, perfume or cosmetics on your tattoo.
  • Do not go swimming or use a sun bed or go to the gym for at least one week after.
