TATTOO AFTERCARE

The first 24/48 hours:

​

Depending on how your artist covers you up (second skin, tattoo pad, cling film), follow their instructions on when/how to remove it.

​

 Rinse your tattoo with warm soapy water (use a gentle fragrance free soap).

Make sure you always clean your hands before handling your fresh tattoo. - Pat it dry (don’t rub it) with a clean towel or kitchen paper.

Apply a thin layer of tattoo cream (we recommend Whitfield).​

​

The following week:

​

Continue with your cleaning and moisturising routine.

Remember to wear loose clothing.

​

 Your tattoo might still be sore, but it is healing well.

​

Avoid intense exercise and soaking the tattoo (such as baths or pools).

Keep your tattoo away from direct sunlight.

​

Your tattoo will start to scab and peel after a few days. This is normal! As tempting as it might be, do not scratch it or pick at it.

​

Continue to care for your tattoo and remember to avoid direct sunlight or use a strong sunscreen to protect it.
