How do I take care of my tattoo ?
Your artist will most likely have recommendations that may vary, so listen to their advice first. And here are a few basics about what to do after your tattoo session:
- Let your tattoo breathe in the open air
- Apply cicalfate cream for 2-3 days, then coconut oil to moisturize your tattoo
​
What are the absolute no-go's in tattoo care ?
Long showers, baths or staying in the swimming pool.
Until the tattoo is completely healed (at least six weeks), avoid it at all costs - chlorine is poison for your tattoo because it irritates the tattooed skin and removes its colour.
Scratching or frequent touching of the tattoo increases the risk of inflammation and scarring. So hands off.
Sun, UV radiation attacks the colour pigments and thus makes tattoos fade. Therefore, always remember to use sufficient sun protection.
​
How much will a tattoo cost?
The price of a tattoo varies according to the artist's rate. This has to be arranged directly with the artist.
How does a piercing session work ?
For the actual piercing, the piercer uses a hollow needle or an intravenous cannula and then pierces the part of the body that will receive the jewelry. The hollow needle allows the jewel to be placed in the skin without any problem. That's it! Welcome to the world of piercing.
How do I take care of my piercing ?
1. Not touching your piercing
2. Clean with soap and water (neutral pH)
3. Leave to dry
4. Rinse with saline, not disinfectant.
​
Which piercings heal the fastest?
All piercings in contact with mucous membranes heal faster than others.
Indeed, the mucous membranes have this property to have a cellular renewal faster than that of the flesh.
So, piercings on the tongue, around the lips or the mouth such as the labret can heal over a period of 6 to 8 weeks.
​
Which piercings heal the slowest?
Full body piercings usually heal over a period of 6 to 9 months.
However, surface piercings, since they go through a larger area of flesh, heal relatively slowly. This healing time can range from 9 to 18 months depending on the individual. Some surface piercings never heal and will eventually be rejected by the body.
​
When can I change my jewelry?
It is absolutely not advisable to remove the jewelry during the healing period. If that were to happen, you wouldn't be able to put it back. To change jewellery, it is therefore necessary to wait for the end of the complete healing of the piercing. From this moment, you can change jewelry according to your desires and your style.
As a reminder, remember that even if the healing process is complete, the piercing hole fills up very quickly without jewelry, generallynt within 24 hours.
