Aftercare

Congratulations on your new tattoo! Proper aftercare is crucial for ensuring the best healing and longevity of your tattoo. Please carefully read and follow these instructions:

Got Inked?

  1. Leave the Film on your tattoo for 2-4 hours after the tattooing process.
  2. After removing the film, very gently wash your tattoo with mild soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
  3. Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free, antibacterial ointment to your tattoo. Use a product recommended by your tattoo artist.
  4. Repeat this process 2-3 times a day for the first 3 days.

General Aftercare:

  1. Keep your tattoo clean and dry. Avoid soaking it in water including swimming pools, hot tubs, and baths, for at least 2 weeks.
  2. Avoid exposing your tattoo to direct sunlight or tanning beds during the healing process. Wear loose clothing to prevent irritation.
  3. Do not scratch or pick at your tattoo, as this can cause scarring and affect the healing process.
  4. Avoid applying lotions, creams, or oils that contain fragrances, alcohol, or harsh chemicals to your tattoo.
  5. If your tattoo becomes red, swollen, or develops excessive drainage, consult a healthcare professional immediately.

Long-Term Care:

  1. Keep your tattoo moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free lotion after it has fully healed.
  2. Apply sunscreen with a high SPF to your tattoo whenever it will be exposed to the sun to prevent fading and damage.

Important Notes:

  1. Healing times vary depending on the size, location, and complexity of your tattoo. It may take 2-4 weeks for your tattoo to fully heal.
  2. Avoid submerging your tattoo in water until it has completely healed to prevent infections.
  3. If you have any concerns or questions about your tattoo’s healing process, don’t hesitate to contact your tattoo artist or seek medical advice.
  4. Keep away from all animals until the tattoo is fully healed.

Remember:

  1. Your tattoo is a work of art, and proper aftercare is essential for preserving its beauty and vibrancy.
  2. Follow these aftercare instructions diligently to ensure the best results and minimize the risk of complications.
