Aftercare Advice
Leave the bandage on for approximately 2 hours.
With clean hands, remove bandage and wash the tattoo gently with warm, soapy water (mild, non-perfumed soap). Do not use a face washer or sponge.
Gently pat the area dry with a clean towel and allow to air for approximately 1 hour.
On clean, dry skin, massage a small amount of the suggested cream into the tattoo.use sparingly and rub completely into the tattoo. Repeat this routine twice daily.
NOTE: In some instances it may be best to re-apply a fresh wrap to clean dry skin and leave overnight on the first evening (NO CREAM). Your tattooer and/or studio staff will advise you of this if applicable.
In around 4-5 days your tattoo will peel, flake and/or scab. It is important not to pick at the healing skin during this stage.
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
YOU DO NOT NEED TO RE-WRAP THE TATTOO BEYOND THAT INDICATED IN THESE CARE INSTRUCTIONS UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED.
KEEP THE AREA CLEAN AND FREE FROM DIRT AND LINT.
DO NOT SOAK THE TATTOO UNTIL HEALED (NO SWIMMING, NO SAUNAS, NO BATHS, NO SURFING ETC).
DO NOT PICK, SCRATCH, OR IRRITATE THE FLAKING SKIN
PAT THE AREA GENTLY TO RELIEVE ANY SENSATION OF ITCHINESS
Allow 7-14 days for your tattoo to heal (please note that healing time will vary between clients). Once healed, we recommend that you use a minimum of SPF30+ sunscreen to help prevent fading and ageing of your tattoo.
