• gently wipe it by placing the towel on it, without rough moves
• after wash, smear the tattoo with BEPHANTEN OINTMENT, and not with other ointments that aren’t designed for tattoos
• do not place the ointment directly from a tube on a tattoo, squeeze it on your finger and smear a thin layer on a tattoo (so that it glows)
