Tattoo

Tattooing is a permanent form of body modification created by injecting ink beneath the epidermis using needles. This practice, both aesthetic and symbolic, triggers an immediate skin reaction, followed by a healing phase that can last several weeks. Proper care is essential to preserve the tattoo and prevent complications such as infections or allergic reactions.
FAQ about tattoo

How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?

The initial healing phase of a tattoo lasts about two weeks, but the skin requires several months to fully restructure itself.

Can you expose a tattoo to the sun?

No, it is absolutely essential to avoid UV exposure while the tattoo is healing, and to systematically apply sunscreen with SPF 50 once the skin has regenerated.

What should you do if a tattoo becomes red and swollen?

Mild skin inflammation around the tattoo is normal during the first few days. However, if it persists or worsens, you should consult a healthcare professional to rule out the risk of an infection.

Is it possible to tattoo skin prone to eczema?

This is possible, but the eczema must not be in an active phase at the time of the tattoo.

Is it possible to get a tattoo over a scar?

Yes, it is possible to tattoo over a scar, but you must wait until the scar has stabilized and is no longer prone to inflammation.

Can a tattoo conceal a birthmark?

Yes, it is possible, but some birthmarks require medical evaluation before being covered by a tattoo, in order to avoid any risk.

Why can a tattoo fade over time?

Progressive degradation of the pigments and their partial elimination by the immune system may occur. Exposure to UV radiation accelerates this process.

Why can tattooed skin itch?

Itching is related to the inflammatory phase and skin regeneration. It is a normal part of the wound-healing process.

Is it possible to exfoliate tattooed skin?

Exfoliation is not recommended during the healing process. Once the skin has recovered, it can be considered, but only with gentle methods.

Is a tattoo permanent?

Most of them are, even though there are also temporary tattoos. Today, certain techniques, such as lasers, make it possible to remove a tattoo, but this can be painful and expensive, and complete removal of the tattoo is not guaranteed.
