Protection from the sun

The newly done tattoo should not be exposed to the sun for at least 2 months.

Subsequently, when the tattoo can be considered healed, it will be possible to expose yourself to the sun, but strictly using a high protection sun filter, to be applied several times throughout the day.

This operation is essential to avoid redness and bruises
