- Do not take blood-thinning medication without a doctor's advice.
- For 2 weeks before the session, avoid sunburn and tanning on the area of the future tattoo. Your skin should be healthy, with no irritation or wounds.

- Tell your artist about any allergies, chronic conditions and pregnancy.
Caring for a fresh tattoo
Traditional way of healing. A fresh tattoo is an “injury” that needs special care, so it’s very important to follow all the steps below.
DAY 1
- Keep the compress your artist applied on for 3 hours after the session.
- Then carefully remove it and wash the tattooed area with warm water and antibacterial soap.
- Gently pat the skin dry with a paper towel (no rubbing!) and apply the special panthenol product your artist recommended. Don’t use any other product without asking your artist.
- Repeat these steps 3–5 times a day.
DAY 2
- Wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and antibacterial soap, pat it dry with a paper towel and apply a thin layer of panthenol.
- Repeat 3–5 times a day.
DAY 3
- Apply a thin layer of panthenol 3–4 times a day.
- If you apply it regularly, no crusts will form. If some crusts have already appeared, never remove them.
DAYS 4–5
- Apply a thin layer of healing cream 3–4 times a day.
- A thin layer of skin will start peeling off. That’s a completely normal part of healing.
FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS, DON’T
- Drink alcohol.
- Take hot baths or go to the sauna, spa, solarium, pool or gym. Take short warm showers instead, no longer than 10 minutes.
- Wipe the tattoo with alcohol-based products.
HEALING WITH FILM
The second way: instead of ointment and washing, your artist applies a special healing film.
- The artist applies a special clear film in the studio. The tattoo heals under it without ointment or washing.
- Keep the film on for 3–5 days. Fluid with ink may collect under it, this is normal.
- If the film comes loose, leaks or the skin under it is very red, take it off earlier.
- Remove the film in the shower under warm water, slowly stretching it along the skin, not upwards.
- After removing it, wash the tattoo and apply a thin layer of ointment for another 7–10 days.
Surface healing takes 2–4 weeks, full healing 1–2 months. Severe redness, swelling or pus are a reason to see a doctor and write to us.
Contraindications for tattoos
These are general restrictions. The final decision is made by the artist at the consultation, and if in doubt, a doctor's advice is needed.
- Acute infections, fever, feeling unwell.
- Inflammation, rash, burn, wound or a mole where the tattoo will go.
- Blood clotting disorders or taking blood thinners.
- Uncontrolled diabetes, immunodeficiency, cancer or serious chronic illness: talk to your doctor first.
- A tendency to form keloid scars.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: talk to your doctor.
- Being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Under 18: message our administrator first.

Contraindications for piercing
These are general restrictions. The final decision is made by the artist at the consultation, and if in doubt, a doctor's advice is needed.
- Acute infections, fever, feeling unwell.
- Inflammation, rash, burn, wound or mole at the future piercing site.
- Blood clotting disorders and taking blood-thinning medication.
- Uncontrolled diabetes, immunodeficiency, cancer, serious chronic illnesses: consult a doctor first.
- Tendency to keloid scarring.
- Metal allergy (titanium is usually well tolerated, but let your artist know).
- Pregnancy: consult a doctor, especially for navel and nipple piercings.
- Intoxication from alcohol or drugs.
- Under 18: please write to the administrator first.
General care for a fresh piercing
- Wash your hands before touching the piercing.
- Rinse the piercing with saline solution 2–3 times a day and gently pat dry with a clean tissue.
- Do not twist or move the jewellery, and do not remove it.
- Do not treat the piercing with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide.
- Do not sleep on the piercing, and protect it from catching on clothes, hair, phones and headphones.
- For the first 4 weeks, avoid swimming pools, the sea, saunas and open water.
- Keep cosmetics, creams and hairspray away from the piercing.
- Do not change the jewellery yourself until the piercing has healed.
- Once the swelling goes down, the long bar needs to be replaced with a shorter one (downsize). This costs 1500 RSD, and the artist will tell you when to come.
Care and healing by piercing type
Lobe
Healing time: 6–8 weeks.
Jewellery: titanium labret stud or ring.
- Rinse the piercing on both sides with saline twice a day.
- Don’t sleep on that side for the first weeks. A travel pillow with a hole helps.
- Be careful with hair, brushes, hats and headphones: the jewellery snags easily.
- Wipe your phone screen with antiseptic or hold the phone to the other ear.
Important: don’t leave the earring out for long, lobe piercings close quickly. Wear heavy earrings and butterfly backs only once fully healed.
Ear cartilage
Healing time: 4–12 months (helix, flat, tragus, antitragus, conch, rook, daith, snug, forward helix).
Jewellery: titanium labret with a flat back; a ring can go in later.
- Don’t sleep on that ear: pressure is the main cause of cartilage bumps. A pillow with a hole helps a lot.
- Skip earbuds and tight hats until the piercing stops hurting. For tragus, conch and daith, wait until fully healed.
- Tie your hair back and keep hairspray and dry shampoo away from the ear.
- A small bump next to the piercing is a common reaction to pressure or friction. Don’t squeeze it or put anything on it; show it to your piercer.
Important: a downsize is usually needed after 4–8 weeks, once the swelling goes down. A ring instead of a bar: not before 4–6 months and only after your piercer checks it.
Industrial
Healing time: 6–12 months.
Jewellery: one long titanium bar through two holes in the upper ear cartilage.
- These are two cartilage piercings joined by one bar, so any knock is felt more.
- Don’t sleep on that ear and take clothes off over your head carefully.
- Avoid hats, hoods and headphones that press on the bar.
- If one of the holes gets redder or more swollen, don’t remove the bar; come in for a check.
Important: don’t change the bar until fully healed. Its length is chosen to fit your ear.
Nose (nostril)
Healing time: 4–6 months.
Jewellery: titanium nostril stud or a small ring.
- Wash your face gently and don’t rub the piercing with a towel.
- Blow your nose gently, and rinse the piercing more often when you have a cold.
- Keep foundation, powder and scrubs off the piercing.
- Clean the inside part of the jewellery with a cotton bud dipped in saline.
Important: don’t take the jewellery out even briefly in the first months: nose piercings close very fast. Have jewellery changed by your piercer.
Septum
Healing time: 2–3 months.
Jewellery: titanium ring (clicker or segment ring) or a horseshoe.
- Rinse both sides. Soften crusts inside the nose with saline and remove them with a cotton bud.
- Don’t flip the jewellery up into the nose for the first weeks.
- Blow your nose gently and protect it from knocks, masks and glasses.
- Mild tenderness when you touch your nose in the first 1–2 weeks is normal.
Important: switch to thin or heavy jewellery only after healing and a talk with your piercer.
Eyebrow
Healing time: 6–12 weeks.
Jewellery: titanium curved barbell (banana).
- Avoid catching the piercing when washing your face, doing makeup or shaping your brows.
- Keep cream, eyeshadow and brow products off the piercing.
- Take clothes off over your head and remove caps carefully.
- Bruising and swelling in the first days are normal.
Important: eyebrow piercings can reject. If the jewellery moves closer to the surface or the skin over the bar gets thinner, come in for a check right away.
Lip and mouth area
Healing time: 6–12 weeks (labret, medusa, monroe, vertical labret).
Jewellery: titanium labret with a flat disc inside.
- Rinse the outside with saline, and rinse your mouth with water or alcohol-free mouthwash after every meal.
- For the first days avoid spicy, hot and sour food and alcohol, and don’t smoke.
- Don’t play with the jewellery with your tongue or teeth: it damages gums and enamel.
- Until it heals, avoid deep kissing and sharing cups.
Important: after 2–4 weeks, once the swelling goes down, be sure to downsize: a short bar protects your teeth and gums.
Tongue
Healing time: 4–8 weeks.
Jewellery: straight titanium barbell, long at first because of swelling.
- Swelling peaks on days 2–4. Cold water, small pieces of ice and sleeping with your head raised all help.
- For the first days eat soft, cool food in small bites, slowly.
- Rinse your mouth after eating and after any drink except water.
- Don’t smoke, drink alcohol or hot drinks, and don’t click the bar against your teeth.
Important: after 2–3 weeks be sure to swap the long bar for a short one; it protects your teeth.
Navel
Healing time: 6–12 months.
Jewellery: titanium curved barbell (banana).
- Wear loose clothes so waistbands don’t press on the piercing: belts, tight jeans and tights are its main enemies.
- Don’t sleep on your stomach for the first weeks.
- Put ab workouts on hold for 2–3 weeks.
- Rinse the piercing in the shower and with saline twice a day, and dry it well.
Important: wear dangle jewellery only once fully healed. If you are pregnant, talk to your doctor.
Nipples
Healing time: 6–12 months.
Jewellery: straight titanium barbell.
- Wear soft cotton underwear or a sports top: it protects the piercing from snagging.
- Rinse the piercing in the shower and with saline twice a day. Soften crusts instead of picking them.
- Avoid pressure and friction, and sleep on your back at first.
- Sensitivity and a little discharge for a few weeks are normal.
Important: we downsize once the swelling goes down. A ring only after full healing.
Times are approximate: everyone heals differently. Redness with heat, increasing pain or pus are a reason to see a doctor and write to us.

Aftercare and healing
SAFETY AND STERILITY
Your health comes first, so every tattoo and piercing session follows strict hygiene rules.
- Sterile. Everything that touches your skin is sterile: needles and cartridges are opened from sealed sterile packaging before work begins.
- Single-use. Needles, cartridges, ink caps, gloves, barrier film and wipes are used for one client only and thrown away after the session.
- Prepared for every session. Before each client the artist disinfects the workstation, the bed and the equipment and covers them with fresh single-use barrier film.
- Individual preparation. Your artist goes over the design, placement and aftercare with you in advance and takes your skin, allergies and wellbeing into account.
- The best materials. We work with inks, needles and aftercare products from trusted international brands that are safe for your skin.
- Piercing. Each piercing is done with a single-use sterile needle, and we use titanium jewellery only.
PIERCING AFTERCARE
- Rinse the piercing twice a day with sterile saline (0.9%) or a piercing aftercare spray and pat dry with a disposable tissue.
- Do not twist or remove the jewellery and do not touch the piercing with dirty hands.
- Do not use alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or ointments on the piercing.
- Healing time: earlobe 6–8 weeks, nose 2–4 months, ear cartilage 3–6 months, lip and tongue 4–8 weeks.
- Tongue and lip: rinse your mouth after eating with water or an alcohol-free mouthwash; no spicy food, alcohol or cigarettes for the first days.
- After 4–8 weeks, when the swelling is gone, come in to swap the bar for a shorter one (downsize), this matters for proper healing.
- No pool, sea or sauna for 2–4 weeks.
TATTOO AFTERCARE

DAY 1
- Keep the compress your artist applied on for 3 hours after the session.
- Then carefully remove it and wash the tattooed area with warm water and antibacterial soap.
- Gently pat the skin dry with a paper towel (no rubbing!) and apply the special panthenol product your artist recommended. Don’t use any other product without asking your artist.
- Repeat these steps 3–5 times a day.
DAY 2
- Wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and antibacterial soap, pat it dry with a paper towel and apply a thin layer of panthenol.
- Repeat 3–5 times a day.
DAY 3
- Apply a thin layer of panthenol 3–4 times a day.
- If you apply it regularly, no crusts will form. If some crusts have already appeared, never remove them.
DAYS 4–5

MESSAGE US RIGHT AWAY IF
- Swelling or redness keeps growing after day three, there is pus or the pain gets worse. Send us a photo and the artist will tell you what to do. A slight temperature in the first days after a session is a normal reaction and passes on its own.
And yes: feeling a bright moment during the piercing is perfectly normal, that’s the whole idea 😉 But if the bright moments keep going after day three, message us.
