Tattoo Aftercare

It is important to leave your bandage on initially after you are finished till advised by your Artist in order to avoid any infection to your skin.

Once you remove the bandage, it is important to wash your tattoo thoroughly (but carefully) using warm water and a fragrance-free soap to remove any excess/dried blood and plasma.

Use a Clean Paper Towel to dry your Tattoo by gently PATTING the area. Do not RUB your Tattoo at all as it may cause irritation.

After cleaning your tattoo, ensure the area is COMPLETELY dry before applying a very thin layer of your chosen Tattoo Aftercare Product to help moisturize and nourish the area.

Continue to use a Fragrance-free Soap and lukewarm water to clean your tattoo at least twice a day.

Remember that your Tattoo isn’t completely safe from germs and bacteria until it has COMPLETELY finished scabbing and peeling. Continue to wash the Tattoo until this point (usually 2-4 weeks) or unless advised by your Artist.

During a part of your healing process, you will go through itchiness on and around the area. Picking away at your healing tattoo can delay healing, cause fading, and increase the chances of infection. As itchy as the tattoo will become typically after the 2-week frame, it is most important to avoid scratching or picking at your Tattoo.

Do not expose your new tattoo directly to sunlight and do not apply any sun lotion to the area until it has fully healed.

All bodies of water can contain nasty bacteria that which will ruin a new tattoo if you are not careful. Stay with quick showers, avoid swimming until your tattoo is fully healed.
