Aftercare Process

Take care of your ink, let it heal perfectly.

First 24 Hours

  • Leave the bandage on for 2–4 hours after your session.

  • Wash your hands, then gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free soap.

  • Pat dry using a clean paper towel — do not rub.

  • Apply a thin layer of tattoo healing ointment (as recommended by your artist).

First Week

  • Wash the tattoo twice a day with mild soap.

  • Apply a light layer of moisturizer or aftercare cream 2–3 times daily.

  • Avoid direct sunlight, heavy sweating, and dirty environments.

  • Do not scratch or pick at any scabbing — let it fall off naturally.

What to Avoid During Healing

  • No swimming (pools, hot tubs, oceans) for at least 2 weeks.

  • Avoid tight clothing over the tattooed area.

  • Do not apply petroleum jelly, alcohol, or harsh creams.

  • Stay away from sun exposure — use SPF after healing is complete.

Long-Term Tattoo Care

  • Always keep your skin moisturized.

  • Use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) on your tattoo when exposed to the sun.

  • Touch-ups are normal — feel free to contact us if needed.
