Tattoo Aftercare
Your tattoo doesn’t end when the session does – how you look after it matters. Follow these aftercare steps for the best healing and long-lasting results.
1. initial care
YOUR TATTOO IS WRAPPED TO ABSORB FLUID AND INK – REMOVE THE BANDAGE WITHIN 4 HOURS.
WASH THE AREA WITH HOT WATER AND ANTIBACTERIAL LIQUID SOAP. WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE TOUCHING IT.
PAT DRY WITH A CLEAN PAPER TOWEL AND LET IT AIR DRY.
2. overnight care (night 1)
USE THE EXTRA PROVIDED BANDAGE OVERNIGHT
(NOT TOO TIGHT).
IN THE MORNING, REPEAT THE WASH AND DRY STEPS.
3. Ointments & Healing
WAIT AT LEAST 2 DAYS BEFORE APPLYING ANY AFTERCARE CREAM – TOO SOON CAN TRAP MOISTURE.
ONCE FLUID HAS MOSTLY STOPPED, APPLY A VERY THIN LAYER OF AFTERCARE
(E.G. BEPANTHEN TATTOO, DR PICKLES, OR ANYTHING RECOMMENDED ON THE DAY).
LESS IS MORE—OVERUSE CAN DELAY HEALING.
4. keep it clean
WASH 2–3 TIMES DAILY FOR 2 WEEKS WITH SOAP AND WARM WATER.
AVOID GYMS, SWIMMING, LONG SOAKS, AND DIRECT SUN DURING THIS TIME.
5. Signs of Infection
WATCH FOR WARMTH, SWELLING, PAIN, PUS, SPREADING REDNESS, PIMPLES, OR ODOR.
SOME IRRITATION IS NORMAL, BUT IF YOU’RE UNSURE, CONTACT ME RIGHT AWAY.
FEELING UNWELL (FEVER, NAUSEA, DIZZINESS)? SEEK MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY.
INFECTIONS ARE RARE BUT SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. REACH OUT WITH ANY QUESTIONS – HAPPY HEALING!
