A word on Hygiene
We at the Skinvasion Tattoo Studio pride ourselves on a high standard of hygiene. Each Tattooing area is cleaned before , during and after each client. Sterile needles are ALWAYS used. All disposable items are new for each customer. On completion the tattoo is covered with a dressing. After you leave the studio it will be your responsibility to follow the aftercare instructions.
Aftercare For Your Tattoo
1: Leave the dressing on for at least 2 hours.
2: When you remove the dressing, wash the tattooed area well with warm soapy water.
3: Blot dry with clean towel. DO NOT RUB.
4: Apply an antiseptic cream (sparingly) 3-4 times daily to the tattoo only, (Too much can cause spots/rash).
5: Allow the area to breathe, but try to keep it out of sunlight for at least the first month, avoid tight clothing rubbing on the tattoo.
6: Avoid soaking or swimming until the tattoo is fully healed.
7: After a couple of days the surface of the tattoo will slightly scab and flake off. This is part of the normal healing process. It will also itch whilst healing. DO NOT pick or scratch. Rub cream into it if it itches.
8: Cover the area when working in a dirty or dusty enviroment.
Sunlight
If you want the colour of your tattoo to stay bright, then sunlight on the area should be avoided as sunlight will fade tattoos and make them appear old. We recommend the use of TOTAL SUNBLOCK on the tattoo at all times when in the sun.
If you experience any problems with your tattoo please do not hesitate to call us.
