Firstly,
Nice to meet you! It was great to make the tattoo for you. Thank you for your time and the idea.
I would like to tell you something about tattoo care. These types of tattoos are more complicated than other tattoos, so please be careful about the care. You are going to carry this tattoo for the rest of your life and I would like it to look great until the last day of your life.
Apart from the care technique that I will tell you here, do not apply what your friends say or the information you read on the internet. each style and artist has its own care techniques.
I will tell you about two different techniques.
Care one, If your skin is not very sensitive, I have covered it with a plastic called second skin which will remain closed for 3 days.
For this technique, you must follow the instructions in the CARE ONE section.
Care two, If your skin is sensitive, then we have covered it with plastic wrap. You should follow the instructions under the heading CARE TWO.
CARE ONE
Care one is the easy care technique. It is a special plastic that is used as plastic surgery that I have covered. It needs to be closed for 3 days. You don’t need to do anything for these 3 days. Continue your life as completely normal. You can take a shower. water will not damage the plastic. just be careful while taking a shower. Plastic can be sensitive underwater and we do not want it to come out.
You can see that the inside of the plastic is filled with black and liquid within a few hours after your tattoo is complete. This is a mixture of blood and dye and is not a matter of wonder. Please do not try or worry to take it outside. There is no problem with the plastic remaining until it is removed. If it is too much and it bothers you, you can try to remove the liquid by opening a small hole in the plastic.
Also, the lines do not look straight in this plastic. You might think that many lines and circles, or even all tattoos, look crooked. Please don’t worry, this is all about plastic and when you remove the plastic you will see that the tattoo looks perfect.
Tattoo need a 3 days stay closed. For example, you had the tattoo done on the 10th of the month . On the 10th, 11th and 12th day the tattoo will remain closed and you will get rid of it at the end of the 12th day ( 3. days need a rid of ) You should remove the plastic very slowly under a warm water. Don’t worry, your tattoo may look faded and ugly when you remove the plastic. This is a completely normal process. From this day on, you should use coconut oil 4 times a day for 2 weeks. I am talking about completely natural coconut oil . The same used for hair or food. coconut oil linework is the best care cream for tattoos. You don’t need any other brand or product! I will not recommend any brand for you coconut oil. Any completely natural coconut oil is ideal for this job.
I want you to wash with an anti-bacterial soap once a day in the first week. The reason why it is anti-bacterial is to remove the germs that may be in the water. This washing process will both clean the tattoo and help us with a smoother recovery. It is okay for your tattoo to come into contact with water, but whenever it comes in contact with water, wash it with an anti-bacterial soap. Thus, water does not hurt your tattoo.
After about 2 months you must send me a photo of the tattoo. I want to see how the tattoo heals. A few photos taken in good light will be beautiful. Even if you think that tattoos have improved wonderfully, please send a photo because I have to check. I want the tattoo to be perfectly healed, and some minor touch ups may be required if necessary. Usually, tattoos require touch ups, but these will only be tiny touches of 1 or 2 minutes. I’m talking about tiny details that can only be noticed by the tattoo artist. but it’s important to me.
CARE TWO
If you are using this care technique, your skin is sensitive and I have used a plastic wrap. We usually use this wrap for people whose skin is sensitive because the plastic used in other techniques can cause allergies on sensitive skin.
Plastic will remain closed on the first day only. you should remove the plastic before going to bed. If you want, you can wrap it up again on the first night only. this is your choice and is not required. The first night will sometimes ink coming outside and if you close it again, you can prevent the mattress from getting dirty.
When you first remove the plastic, wash the tattoo with warm water and anti-bacteria soap, then dry it with a paper towel (use only a paper towel, this is safer) and start the care by applying the first cream.
