FAQ – PhiTattoo

Does getting a tattoo hurt?

Pain varies based on individual skin sensitivity and tolerance, but for most people, it is manageable.

What if I’m allergic to the ink?

If you suspect you might have an allergy, we can perform a patch test on your skin before proceeding with the tattoo.

How should I prepare before my tattoo appointment?

Ensure the area where you’ll get the tattoo is clean and completely shaved. If you’ve recently had a laser session or any other skin treatment, it’s advisable to wait 2 to 3 weeks before getting a tattoo.

Can I get a cover-up tattoo?

Yes, you can. However, the new design should be large enough to fully cover the old tattoo. If not, it’s better to consider laser removal first.

How long does it take for a tattoo to heal?

Healing begins immediately after getting the tattoo, but full healing typically takes about a month.

What aftercare steps should I follow?

Avoid sun exposure for a few days. Apply skin candy or Vitamin A & D ointment 2 to 3 times daily for a week. Refrain from taking hot showers for a week, and ideally, avoid showering altogether for the first 3 days.
