Customers felt in love with the elegance of my lettering tattoos ant that changed the whole industry.

The aftercare routine that your tattoo artist will advice you depens on variants such as size, color and technique of the tattoo but apart of the aftercare routine I would recommend to avoid sunbathing for 20 days and avoiding fitness and swimming for 15 days and sauna, waxing, solarium and scrub for 1 month.
