TATTOO AFTERCARE
Tattoos are prone to infection during the first 7 days. WATER, SUNLIGHT, DUST and NAILS cause INFECTION. Please follow the below given instructions:
Remove the covering as soon as you reach home and wash with diluted antiseptic solution (Lukewarm water with Dettol/Savlon 5 drops). Pat, dry with a tissue. Massage with Soframycin Skin Cream with medium pressure.
FIRST 7 DAYS : APPLY a thin layer of COCONUT OIL before going for shower. Don’t APPLY soap or scrub on the tattoo. After shower WIPE with a TISSUE and pat dry. Keep the skin open at all times. When going out in the sun/pollution cover your tattoo with dark clothing. AVOID wearing LIGHT coloured clothes for the first 10 days. Please do not involve in any kind of workouts – NO SWEATING AT ALL. Redness/Swelling/Watery serum on your tattoo is normal for the initial 3-4 days only. If it continues to be on the 5th day, please contact us.
FIRST 15 - 25 DAYS : MASSAGE your tattoo with SOFRAMYCIN SKIN CREAM (available in medical stores) by applying pressure for 5-10 seconds only 3-4 times a day. You will observe dead skin peeling off along with the ink. DO NOT PICK at your peeling skin (dead skin). This pulls out the ink from the deepest layer of your tattoo. Healing tattoos will be itchy while healing. Slap your tattoo.... DON'T SCRATCH ON YOUR TATTOO.
Tattoos look extremely dull and faded while healing. Your tattoo will start to look normal after 3-5 weeks and eventually heals in 3 months. You might find ink missing (gaps) in the tattoo, which is why we recommend you to take an appointment to refill your tattoo (Cost Rs.600/1000) after 3 Months. DO NOT consume ALCOHOL for 48 hours after tattoo. Any type of food that can increase body heat and cause pus/infection to be avoided for the first 10 days. Avoid SUN EXPOSURE. Less tanning makes your tattoo look darker. Call 8886886600 for any queries.
PIERCING AFTERCARE
Follow these easy steps to avoid infections and ensure your piercing stays fab:
1. Clean Gently, Not Aggressively:
Use an earbud dipped in medical saline water or spray / mix 4 drops of filtered water with 1 drop of antiseptic liquid (not soap or handwash). Clean twice a day—your piercing will thank you!
2. Hands Off (Unless Clean!):
Always wash your hands before touching your piercing. No fiddling or twirling the studs-it's a fresh wound, not a fidget spinner!
3. Patience = Perfect Piercing:
Keep your starter jewellery in place for 6-8 weeks for lobes and 6-8 months for cartilage-yes, even at night! Taking them out too soon is like leaving a party before dessert.
4. Skip the Soak:
Avoid soaking your piercing in water (yes, that includes long baths and showers).
Use a soft towel instead of rough towels to keep it safe and trauma-free.
5. Cool It Down:
Got swelling? A cold gel pack wrapped in a cloth works wonders. Just make sure no water droplets sneak onto your piercing.
6. Ask Before You Medicate:
Thinking about popping a pill for the swelling? Ask your doctor first to avoid any unwanted surprises.
ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR PIERCINGS. IF A PIERCING GETS SORE, RED, OR PUFFY, OR IT OOZES YELLOWISH LIQUID, YOU MAY HAVE AN INFECTION.
THESE DO NOT GO AWAY QUICKLY, SEE A BOARD-CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGIST AND GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE. PLEASE TAKE CARE!
