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.
