MYTH 😉 “YOU CAN’T SHOWER AFTER GETTING A TATTOO” 🚿

You can — and keeping the tattoo clean is an important part of aftercare.

The golden rule: shower, yes. Soaking, no.

✔️ Gently wash the tattoo.
✔️ Use a mild, gentle cleanser.
✔️ No scrubbing or loofahs.
✔️ Pat the skin dry rather than rubbing it.

Baths, swimming pools, the sea and long soaks are best avoided until the tattoo has fully healed.

🚿A shower? Absolutely. 🛀A three-hour bath like a Victorian aristocrat? Not quite yet. 😉

5 MISTAKES AFTER PERMANENT EYELINER THAT CAN AFFECT THE RESULT 👁️

1. Getting the eyeliner unnecessarily wet
Too much moisture during the first days can interfere with proper healing.

2. Rubbing or scratching your eyes
Even if they itch — hands off! 😌

3. Picking the flakes
Let them come away naturally. Your eyeliner doesn’t need DIY renovation.

4. Applying makeup over the treated area
Mascara, eyeshadow and eyeliner can wait until the active healing stage is over.

5. Ignoring your artist’s aftercare advice
Aftercare is part of the treatment — not an optional extra.

✨ Remember: freshly done eyeliner can look darker and more defined at first. The healed result develops gradually.

WHY DOES YOUR TATTOO ITCH?

If your fresh tattoo starts itching — don’t panic. In most cases, it’s simply part of the healing process. Your skin is repairing itself and basically saying: “I’m busy, please don’t interfere.” 😌

1. Your skin is healing
As new skin cells form and the skin barrier repairs itself, mild itching can be completely normal.

2. The skin becomes dry
During healing, your tattoo may feel dry and start to peel slightly. This is one of the most common reasons for that irresistible urge to scratch.

3. External factors can irritate the skin
Friction from clothing, sweat, frequent washing or overdoing your aftercare can make the area feel itchier.

4. Peeling is part of the process
This is the stage where you may feel tempted to “help” your tattoo along. Please don’t. Let the skin peel naturally.

💡 The best approach?
Follow your aftercare routine, keep the skin comfortably moisturised, avoid overdoing the cream and — most importantly — give your tattoo some time.
Keep calm and don’t scratch the tattoo. Your tattoo will be perfectly fine without your assistance.

What do I notice in your brows in the first 10 seconds?

Before we talk about shape, colour or permanent makeup, I look at the face as a whole.

Within the first few seconds, I’m already noticing:

— the natural direction and growth pattern of the hairs;
— asymmetry — and whether it actually needs correcting;
— the proportions of the brows in relation to the eyes and the face;
— where density has naturally been lost;
— your skin’s undertone and how it may affect the colour over time.

And no, I’m not looking for two perfectly identical brows.

I’m looking for balance.

Sometimes the best result isn’t about changing the brows completely.
It’s about knowing exactly what to leave alone.

That’s usually where the sophisticated results begin.

If you’re curious about what I would see in your brows and what could work beautifully for your features, I’d be happy to meet you for a consultation. 🤍

5 signs your tattoo artist actually knows what they’re doing

1. They don’t rush the stencil.
If they spend ages moving it 3 mm to the left — let them. That 3 mm may save your tattoo from looking like it’s slowly sliding off your body.
2. The lines are confident, not aggressive.
Clean, controlled, consistent. No wobbly “I’ve had three coffees and a personal crisis” energy.
3. They care about your skin, not just the design.
Good artists know when to slow down, change technique, or simply say: “Nope, your skin needs a minute.”
4. They tell you what will actually age well.
A proper artist won’t blindly say yes to every Pinterest fantasy. Sometimes the most professional answer is: “That’ll look brilliant for six months.”
5. The healed work still looks bloody good.
Fresh tattoos can fool anyone. Healed tattoos tell the truth. Look for healed work before booking — your future self will appreciate it.

Basically: skill, patience, honesty… and absolutely no tattoo done in someone’s kitchen after two pints. 😂
