Congratulations! You’re now carrying a brand new piece of art. To make sure it stays beautiful, you’ll need to ensure the following;
Your tattoo gets a protective layer from us – leave it on for a couple of hours.
This is your tattoo’s first shield, ensuring it stays safe and clean on your way home.
Remove the bandage, wash your hands and gently clean your tattoo with lukewarm water using a mild, fragrance -free soap. No scrubbing! Pat dry with a paper towel.
moisturize, but don’t lather
Apply a thin layer of your tattoo aftercare cream – not too much, not too little.
Do this for at least two weeks after washing the tattoo.
Your tattoo will itch – but please don’t scratch it! Let the scab shed off naturally.
Scratching can lead to scarring, ink shedding off or an infection.
Avoid sunbathing, saunas, swimming and hot tubs until your tattoo is fully healed – wait at least 3 weeks to be sure. After that, always apply 50+ sunscreen when exposed to sunlight to ensure your artowork doesn’t fade prematurely.
Patience is key! It takes a while for a tattoo to heal. You can always contact us when in doubt.
