1. Hand Tattoo Recommendations:
Hand tattoos are highly visible and prone to fading due to frequent use and exposure. Choose designs and placements carefully, considering how they may look over time.
- Maintenance: Hand tattoos require regular touch-ups due to constant exposure and friction. Expect more frequent maintenance compared to tattoos in other areas. Especially when travelling, consider that not all artists offer free touch-ups. To benefit from a free touch-up, ensure it’s done once the tattoo is fully healed, which typically takes about a month. Plan your timing accordingly.
- Healing Process: Hands are constantly in motion and exposed to various elements. Follow aftercare instructions diligently, keeping the area clean and moisturized to ensure proper healing.
- Professional Advice: Consult with our artists about your hand tattoo ideas. They can provide valuable insights into design choices and placement for longevity.
No Guarantee: Oly Anger Tattoo offers no guarantee on the longevity, appearance, or quality of hand tattoos. The client assumes full responsibility for the care and maintenance of their hand tattoo.
Touch-Ups: Any touch-ups required due to fading or wear of hand tattoos are not included in the initial cost and will incur additional fees.
2. Tattoo Directives When Travelling:
When traveling and planning to get a tattoo, it’s essential to be prepared. Here are some key directives to ensure a smooth experience and proper care for your new ink.
- Research Local Tattoo Regulations: If you’re thinking about getting inked while travelling, research the local tattoo regulations and the reputation of the studio. Ensure the place adheres to hygiene standards.
- Post-Tattoo Care Kit: Pack a post-tattoo care kit, including a gentle cleanser, unscented moisturiser, and sunblock (SPF 30 or higher once your tattoo has healed). This ensures you can care for your new tattoo wherever you are.
- Avoid Swimming: Newly tattooed skin should avoid exposure to pools, hot tubs, lakes, and the ocean to prevent infection. Plan your swim activities before your tattoo appointment.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is crucial for your skin’s health, aiding in the healing process.
3. Tattoo Directives for Summer Days:
When enjoying the summer sun, it’s important to take extra care of your tattoos to keep them looking their best. Here are some essential tips for tattoo care during the hotter months.
- Sun Protection: Protect your tattoo from the sun. Use a high-SPF sunscreen once your tattoo is fully healed. For fresh tattoos, keep them covered with clothing or a bandage to avoid direct sunlight.
- Stay Cool: Try to stay in cool environments as excessive sweating can irritate a new tattoo. Wear loose, breathable clothing to avoid friction.
- Moisturise Regularly: Keep your tattooed skin moisturised to prevent dryness and peeling. Opt for a fragrance-free moisturiser designed for sensitive skin.
