Aftercare, the unglamorous half

Half of a good tattoo happens after you leave the studio. Keep it clean, moisturise thinly, don't pick the scabs, stay out of pools and lakes for a few weeks, and keep fresh ink out of the sun. Your artist's instructions beat anything you read online — follow theirs.

Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu sits about 45° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter's the classic tattoo season: fresh ink stays covered and out of the sun while it heals, and nobody's tempted by the lake.

The sun point deserves emphasis: UV fades tattoos, and it fades new ones fastest. Once healed, sunscreen on the tattoo becomes a lifelong habit if you want it to stay sharp.

Tattoo smarts for Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

No mapped studios yet, but the vetting skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Wear the right clothes. Easy access to the spot being tattooed, and nothing you love — ink stains don't wash out.
• Plan around your calendar. Don't get tattooed right before a beach holiday or a marathon. Give it two quiet weeks.
• Moisturise, don't drown it. Thin layers of the recommended ointment. Too much suffocates the skin and slows healing.
• Tip your artist. Standard practice, like any skilled service. Twenty percent is the usual benchmark for good work.
