How to care for your tattoo

Tattoo Care & Summer Guide
Taking care of a new tattoo during the summer requires discipline.
1. Timing & Sun: Ideally, get tattooed before your trip ends

, like the last day. If you are already on vacation, follow the "48-Hour Rule": avoid the beach, direct sun, and swimming entirely for two days. Afterward, always use SPF 50+. When you're back from the beach, wash the area gently and apply your tattoo aftercare cream for 15 days.
2. Precautions: Swimming pools are strictly forbidden; chlorine is a chemical that damages healing skin. Also, avoid contact with sand and excessive sweat.
3. Finger Tattoos: If your artist advises against them, listen. Finger tattoos fade quickly due to biology. If you insist, accept the result: they may lose definition in days or years, eventually fading into small fragments.
4. Responsibility: The artist creates the art, but healing is your responsibility. Every skin type is different, and touch-ups may be needed. A tattoo is a permanent memory, not a disposable item: give it 15 days of strict care and take ownership of the outcome.
