Tattoo and piercing aftercare
Getting tattooed or pierced at FACTS is just the beginning. Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your new piece heals well and stays beautiful. Every artist or piercer will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and the necessary protective wrapping after your session. Follow these guidelines carefully, keep the area clean, and avoid touching or exposing it to direct sunlight during the first healing phase.
If you are planning a tattoo or piercing at the event, it can be helpful to bring loose and comfortable clothing that gives the artist easy access to the area being worked on.
