The aftercare of your tattoo will greatly determine the way your tattoo will look once it has fully healed as well as how it ages over the years.

• Appointment Day – If wrapped, remove the cling wrap from your tattoo when you get home and wash it with clean water. You can either air dry, dab gently with a paper towel or use a clean towel. 

• Whilst the tattoo is an open wound (approx. 2-4 days) – clean the tattoo twice per day with clean water. You don’t need to apply anything during this time.

• Once the tattoo begins to dry up and flake – continue to clean the tattoo twice per day and begin applying water-based, scent free moisturiser twice per day

• For 2-3 weeks – no direct sun, no sunscreen, no swimming, no scratching

  Extra Info:

• Showering is fine. You can expect bits of ink and dead skin to shed from your tattoo, this is completely normal, as is some redness and bruising in the first week of healing.

• DO NOT soak or submerge your tattoo in any bodies of water (bath, spa, pool, ocean, etc.) for 2 -3 weeks

• Avoid wearing tight clothing in the area of the tattoo for 1-2 weeks as this can rub on the tattoo and cause areas to drop out or heal unevenly.

• Use sunscreen to protect your tattoo AFTER it has healed. UV rays break the ink down under the skin causing it to fade excessively.
