Tattoo aftercare instructions

It is imperative to follow the aftercare instructions to ensure the best result for your tattoo.

Leave the tattoo wrapped for 1-2 hours / 5 days if second skin has been applied.

  • Wash lightly with warm soapy water and pat dry.

  • Apply the recommended aftercare cream at least 4-5 times a day until healed. (Up to 14 days)

  • Repeat steps 1 & 2 daily until the tattoo has fully healed.

    WHAT TO AVOID

  • Soaking your tattoo in water (baths/swimming).

  • Exposing your tattoo to salt/chlorinated/dirty water.

  • Excessive sunlight/sun baking. Once healed use 50+ SPF on tattoos.

  • Applying fake tan on tattoo area.

  • Picking at scabs / flaky skin that may occur during healing.

  • Shoes or clothing that may rub on tattoo.
