TATTOO AFTERCARE

Proper aftercare is crucial for a great-looking tattoo. Follow these guidelines.

FIRST 24 HOURS

  • 1. Leave the bandage on for 2-4 hours after your session.
  • 2. Wash gently with lukewarm water and unscented antibacterial soap.
  • 3. Pat dry with a clean paper towel — never rub.
  • 4. Apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer or recommended aftercare product.

WEEKS 1-2

  • • Wash 2-3 times daily and apply moisturizer after each wash.
  • • Do NOT pick, scratch, or peel any flaking skin.
  • • Avoid submerging in water (no pools, baths, or ocean).
  • • Avoid direct sunlight on the tattooed area.
  • • Wear loose, breathable clothing over the area.

WEEKS 3-4

  • • Continue moisturizing daily.
  • • Your tattoo may look cloudy — this is normal and will clear.
  • • Start using SPF 30+ sunscreen on healed tattoos when exposed to sun.
