What are oncological tattoos and how to care for them properly

Tattooing is an art form that goes far beyond aesthetics. In recent years, oncological tattoos have gained enormous popularity in Spain, especially among women who have overcome breast cancer. These tattoos not only beautify, but also help to rebuild, heal, and restore self-esteem after a difficult medical journey.

What are oncological tattoos?

Oncological tattoos are reconstructive tattoos of the nipple and areola, and camouflage tattoos for scars caused by a mastectomy due to breast cancer. Through advanced realism and color techniques, natural results are achieved that restore confidence and a sense of bodily integrity to those who receive them.

How to care for a oncological tattoo

Aftercare is a fundamental part of the treatment to ensure proper regeneration and preserve the quality of the tattoo. These are the steps recommended by experts:

  1. Gentle cleansing: Wash the tattooed area with a neutral gel, such as Bepanthol® Tattoo Cleansing Gel, which helps keep the skin clean without irritating it.
  2. Careful drying: Dry the area with gentle pats, without rubbing.
  3. Hydration and regeneration: Once clean and dry, apply a specific regenerating ointment. The most recommended is Bepanthol® Tattoo Ointment, which moisturizes, soothes, and promotes natural skin regeneration.
