Tattoo Aftercare

By following these instructions, the healing of your tattoo should be easy:

• Remove the dressing once you arrive home.

• Using clean hands, wash carefully with warm soapy water. make sure that you remove all ointment, blood, plasma and ink, carefully pat dry, preferably with a clean paper towel. Do not scrub the tattoo.

• Keep your tattoo clean for the first couple of days, don't apply any creams or moisturisers. This allows the tattoo to breath and start the healing process. Then start applying a thin layer 3-4 times a day until the skin has healed.

• Don’t apply a new bandage.

• Do not apply any Vaseline and Sun Lotion before your tattoo is healed

• No direct sunlight or solarium for 2 weeks

• No soaking (shower instead of bathing if you can). Do not swim in salt or chlorine water for 2 weeks.

• Your tattoo will itch when healing – gently pat the skin if necessary but do not scratch or pick your tattoo.

• Do not take advice from anyone else.
