Can I shower after the tattoo?

Can I go to the pool or sea after the tattoo?

Can I do sports after the tattoo?

Permanent tattoo done at 2nd Face Tattoo Bucharest

A design that must work on the body.

A tattoo is not just an image transferred onto the skin. The shape of the body, movement and size of the area influence the composition.

The artist can adjust the design so that details remain clear and balanced.

How are permanent tattoos made?

Permanent tattoos are made with sterile needles and a tattoo machine that introduces pigment in a controlled manner into the skin. The technique, depth and working pace are adapted to the style and body area.

Outline, shadows, colour and details can be done in the same session or in stages, depending on the size of the project.

Advantages of permanent tattoos.

They allow expression of a personal style and meaning.
They can be made in numerous styles and sizes.
They can transform a concept into an artistic composition adapted to the body.
They can mark an experience, a person or an important stage.

What should you consider beforehand?

Choose an artist experienced in the desired style and analyse the portfolio. Discuss the design, size, area, level of detail and estimated time before booking.

Consider the visibility of the tattoo, body changes and the fact that removal may require multiple laser sessions or a cover-up project.

Care for the permanent tattoo.

Follow the artist's instructions, wash the area gently, dry by patting and apply the recommended product. Avoid swimming pools, saunas, long baths, strong sun and scratching until healed.

After healing, sun protection helps maintain contrast and colour.

Get inspired and personalise the design.

Explore different styles and analyse artists' works before making the final decision. A design can be adapted or redrawn to be unique and suitable for anatomy.
