tattooing questions
How long does a tattoo take to heal?gokhanbarsal07@hotmail.com2025-08-06T20:06:02+00:00
The surface of the tattoo usually heals within 2–3 weeks. However, full healing can take 4–6 weeks. Following the aftercare instructions is essential for proper and healthy healing.
Can I go swimming or to the sauna with a fresh tattoo?gokhanbarsal07@hotmail.com2025-08-06T20:06:45+00:00
No, you should avoid swimming pools, the sea, and saunas until the tattoo is fully healed. Otherwise, there’s a risk of infection and damage to the tattoo.
Can my old tattoo be completely covered?gokhanbarsal07@hotmail.com2025-08-06T20:02:14+00:00
Most old tattoos can be successfully covered with the right design and technique. However, the size, color, and details of the existing tattoo play an important role. At my studio in Würzburg, Germany, I first evaluate the current tattoo and then create a custom cover-up design for you.
Does the new tattoo always have to be bigger than the old one?gokhanbarsal07@hotmail.com2025-08-06T20:04:15+00:00
Cover-up tattoos are generally slightly larger to fully cover the old design. However, this doesn’t mean it has to be uncomfortably big. We plan the design process together to achieve something both aesthetic and meaningful.
Do I need to get my old tattoo removed before a cover-up?gokhanbarsal07@hotmail.com2025-08-06T20:03:29+00:00
Not always. In some cases, especially if the tattoo is very dark or dense, a few laser sessions may be recommended. This helps the new design appear clearer and more aesthetic. We evaluate this together based on your tattoo.
