At Charakter Prague, we strive not only for aesthetic excellence but also for the health and well-being of our clients. Tattooing is an art that requires not just creativity but also responsibility. That’s why we’ve prepared an overview of situations when it’s better to postpone your visit to our studio and wait for a more suitable time:
1. During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
Tattooing during pregnancy can pose risks to both the mother and the baby. The pigments used in inks are not always proven safe and may contain substances that could affect the child’s health. Moreover, pregnancy hormones can cause changes in skin color and texture, which may result in unwanted alterations to the tattoo itself.
2. After a vacation with a strong tan:
Sun exposure can significantly impact the condition of your skin, and getting a tattoo immediately after a sun-filled vacation may cause complications. Sunburned skin is prone to peeling, which can interfere with the healing process of a fresh tattoo and result in undesirable or uneven outcomes.
3. In the case of acute skin conditions:
If you are experiencing current skin issues such as a rash, eczema, or an infection, it is best to postpone getting a tattoo. Tattooing over damaged skin can lead to further complications and may worsen the condition.
4. When taking certain medications:
Certain medications can affect skin quality and the body’s natural healing process. If you are taking medication that may interfere with wound healing, it is advisable to consult your doctor before getting a tattoo.
5. When deciding under the influence of alcohol or drugs:
It might seem like “fun” in the moment, but it can easily turn into a lifelong regret. The decision to get a tattoo should always be made calmly and with a clear mind. Under the influence of alcohol or drugs, your judgment may be impaired, leading to impulsive choices you could later regret.
6. When you are unsure about the design or placement:
A tattoo is permanent and not easy to remove. If you have doubts about the design or placement, it is better to take your time to reconsider. Allow yourself space to think it through, and consider a consultation with a professional — a service we are happy to provide free of charge.
Every individual and their circumstances are unique, which is why it’s important to carefully consider all factors before getting a tattoo. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Ultimately, it’s better to wait for the right moment and fully enjoy the tattoo experience, rather than make a rushed decision that could lead to regret later on.
If you’re ready to take the step and nothing is holding you back, we’d love to hear more about your idea for a new tattoo. Simply get in touch with us.
