AFTERCARE
So, you've got a new tattoo from us, the rest is up to you!
We've put together this selection of aftercare instructions to help you get the best healed result from your tattoo.
If you have any questions or issues with the following, please feel free to drop us a message via our contact page or on any of our social medias! (linked above)
We are here to help!
- We will have wrapped your fresh tattoo with cling film, this can be removed half an hour after you've been tattooed (or just when you get home)
- Gently wash your tattoo with clean hands & warm soapy water (we recommend liquid antibac soap)
- Pat dry with a soft towel
- We like to leave a new tattoo for at least one day before starting to put healing creams on it but this is your preference.
- Use your healing cream morning & night by applying a thin layer of it to your tattoo.
- No swimming, suntanning, sun exposure or soaking for at least 2 weeks but preferably up to 4 weeks.
- The healing process includes scabbing & itchiness but please refrain from scratching or picking your tattoo as this will poorly effect its outcome!
- We understand that maybe your family or friends healed their tattoo differently to what our instructions are but these are our recommendations to give you the best possible outcome and we strongly suggest you follow them to the best of your ability!
