About us

Did you know that Crow’s Nest is part of a ship? The part where you keep a lookout up in the mast to see what’s coming up ahead. And what we had in our sight was the dream of our own tattoo studio.

In 2021 everything came together, and after years of waiting we could finally open this dream tattoo studio. The timing felt right and we found a space and location that we fell in love with at first sight, in the corner of the historical Ab Wasa Yllevarufabrik/ Oy Waasan Villatavaratehdas.

Tattoo Aftercare Instructions

The aftercare of your tattoo will greatly determinate the way your tattoo will look once it has fully healed. We all want it to look as good as possible years and years to come.

  • If plastic wrap is used, keep it on for a couple of hours before taking it off and washing your tattoo throughly but gently.
  • If second skin typ plastic film is used, keep it on for up to 3 days. If it starts to loosen before, just take it off and wash your tattoo throughly but gently.
  • Antibacterial soap or non fragrance soap can be used but water is just fine.
  • Gently pat your tattoo dry with paper towels or let it air dry, do not rub your fresh tattoo with used towels.
  • We recommend washing your tattoo 2-3 times a day during the healing process and applying a thin layer of aftercare lotion after its washed.
  • Do not pick scabs! This will cause your tattoo to bleed and will pull ink out of your skin.
  • Do not swim, go into a hot tub or sauna for at least two weeks after getting your tattoo.
  • Avoid direct sunlight until the tattoo is fully healed. After its fully healed we recommend using a good sunscreen.
  • Try wearing loose clothing over your fresh tattoo to avoid clothes rubbing of the scabs.
