Get tattooed at Woodpecker
make an appointment so that we can talk about your project, we like to talk about your projects and meet you in order to prepare something that really suits you. You can make an appointment either: By phone: 04 74 84 16 54 On our online booking system. Come see us at the shop and we will discuss your project over a coffee comfortably seated. We will have a more precise idea of what you are looking for and we will be able to evaluate the work, the time and give you an estimate of the price for your tattoo. Once the estimate is given we make an appointment for the first tattoo session. You pay a deposit equivalent to 30% of the total showing for a small piece or the amount of the first session for a piece requiring more than 3 half-days of work. Between making an appointment and the first tattoo appointment we exchange by email, via the site or via social networks to develop your project. We can also meet again. The next step is of course the tattoo. 4 to 6 weeks after the tattoo or after the last session we meet again for touch-ups or at least for a check-up.
The most important thing is to always wash your hands before touching your tattoo.
The first day:
Wash your tattoo with a mild pH neutral soap. Use lukewarm water and do not turn on the jet too strong. Once clean, dry gently by patting with an absorbent paper. Bathing should be avoided for the first 15 days.
Do not apply cream on the first day.
The first 15 days:
Apply a thin layer of cream such as Bépanthène or Easy Tattoo to your tattoo and leave it in the open air so that it heals naturally.
Do not use healing ointment that accelerates healing. Do not cover your tattoo, to heal properly your skin must breathe. Only apply a bandage in cases of force majeure and for a very limited time (dirty work, significant presence of dust, etc.).
Repeat the "washing + cream" operation twice a day. During this healing period, avoid rubbing against clothing as much as possible. If you have to, opt for loose cotton clothing.
Do not scratch your tattoo! Small scabs may form, the skin may peel and it may itch. There is only one thing to do: resist! Otherwise, you risk damaging the design and the colors.
Do not expose your tattoo to the sun. UV rays can seriously damage your tattoo and fade its colors.
Bathing in the sea or swimming pool as well as sauna or hammam sessions should be strictly avoided for at least one month.
In the long term: Regularly moisturize your tattoo, you will have a much prettier result, even after years. Protect your tattoo with SPF50 sunscreen each time you expose it to the sun to maintain the intensity of the colors and the brightness of the design.
