Aftercare and attention after a tattoo:

1. Touch the tattoo as little as possible with your hands.
2. Wash the tattooed area twice a day with unscented soap until the tattoo wound is completely healed.
3. After washing the tattoo wound, gently pat it dry with a clean towel.
4. Keep the tattoo dry as much as possible.
5. If desired, lubricate the tattoo (with clean hands) with unscented Vaseline or Bepanthen.
   Do not use any other ointment and do not allow others to use the ointment.
6. Do not drip wound disinfectants such as Sterilon or Betadine on the wound.
7. Do not wear plasters or bandages over the tattoo wound.
8. Never wear tight or dirty clothing on the tattoo wound.

10. Also, do not use the sauna or steam bath.
    Do not expose the tattooed area to the sun or to a tanning bed (not even with sunscreen).
    Even after the healing time on the tattoo, always use a high sun protection factor!
