Discover the Best Tattoo Experience in Saigon - TGC Tattoo VietNam

Most tattoos heal on the surface within 2–3 weeks, but deeper layers of skin can take up to 2 months to fully recover.

We strongly recommend avoiding swimming, the ocean, or hot tubs for at least 2–3 weeks. Water — especially in pools or beaches — contains bacteria and chemicals that can cause infection or damage the ink. Wait until your tattoo is fully healed and no longer peeling before taking a dip. Your future self (and your tattoo) will thank you!

Don’t worry — this is a natural part of the healing process. As your skin regenerates, the top layer will peel and may feel itchy. Never scratch or pick at your tattoo; instead, tap gently or apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer. Keep it clean and avoid tight clothing that rubs against the skin. It’ll settle down in a few days.

It’s best to rest for a few days before returning to intense workouts. Excessive sweating or stretching can irritate a fresh tattoo and slow healing. When you start again, wear loose, breathable clothing and avoid exercises that directly press against the tattooed area. Light movement is okay, but give your skin time to recover.

The secret to long-lasting color is consistent care. Protect your tattoo from the sun with SPF 30+ sunscreen, moisturize daily, and stay hydrated. Avoid overexposure to UV rays or harsh exfoliation. A professional touch-up every few years helps keep your tattoo as vibrant and bold as the day it was done — especially in sunny Vietnam.

Yes, they can. Intense sunlight, humidity, and frequent sweating all speed up fading if you don’t take care. That’s why it’s so important to apply sunscreen, stay hydrated, and use gentle skincare products. At TGC Tattoo, we also recommend breathable fabrics to protect your ink while keeping you cool in Ho Chi Minh City’s heat.

Of course! Many of our clients bring personal sketches, ideas, or reference images. Our artists will refine your concept, adjust it for body flow and proportions, and ensure it fits your preferred style — whether it’s fine line, oriental, or modern. We love collaborating with clients to bring their vision to life.

Absolutely. Your safety is our top priority. We use only sterile, single-use needles, high-quality imported inks, and medical-grade cleaning supplies. Every workstation is fully sanitized before and after each session. At TGC Tattoo, you can relax knowing you’re in a clean, professional, and friendly environment.

During the first week, your tattoo is most sensitive, so avoid soaking in water, sunbathing, heavy sweating, and tight clothing. Also skip alcohol or smoking as they can slow healing. Keep your tattoo clean, dry, and lightly moisturized — this helps the ink settle properly and prevents irritation or infection.

Try to keep your tattoo uncovered and avoid sleeping directly on it. Use clean bedsheets and wear loose, breathable clothes. If your tattoo is in a spot that touches the bed, place a clean towel underneath to avoid friction. Proper sleep and hygiene during this stage help your tattoo heal faster and more evenly.

Our prices depend on the size, detail, and style of the design, as well as the artist you choose. Small tattoos start around 1,000,000–1,500,000 VND, while large or custom pieces are priced after a consultation. We always provide clear quotes — no surprises, no hidden fees. Quality and transparency are our priorities.

Yes, absolutely. We always recommend a consultation before your session — either in person or online. This helps us understand your idea, placement, and style preferences. Our artists will give honest advice, share aftercare tips, and provide an exact price before you decide. It’s all part of the TGC Tattoo experience.
