Proper aftercare is key to how your tattoo heals and looks long-term. Here’s how to take care of your new piece.
01.
Clean Gently: Wash your tattoo with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat it dry with a clean towel—don’t rub.
02.
Keep It Moisturized: Use a thin layer of unscented, tattoo-safe moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and reduce itchiness.
03.
Protect from the Sun: Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds while healing. Once healed, always use SPF 30+ to preserve the colors.
04.
No Picking or Scratching: It might itch, but don’t touch! Let any scabbing or peeling happen naturally.
05.
Dress Comfortably: Stick to loose, breathable clothing to avoid rubbing or irritation.
06.
Avoid Water Submersion: Steer clear of swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, or baths until your tattoo is fully healed.
07.
Give It Time: Healing usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. Some peeling or flaking is normal—just keep the area clean and moisturised.
08.
Follow Your Artist’s Advice: Your artist might have specific recommendations—always follow their guidance.
09.
Be Patient: Every tattoo heals differently. Stay consistent with care, and let your body do the rest.
