After Care Instructions

Proper aftercare is crucial for optimal healing and tattoo quality. Follow these guidelines to ensure your tattoo heals quickly and minimizes the risk of complications. Keep your tattoo clean, moisturized, and protected during the healing process.

Day 1

Leave the bandage on overnight to protect the tattoo.
When you wake up, remove the bandage and wash the tattoo with warm water and soap.
Gently remove plasma and excess ink.
Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Do not re-bandage.

Day 2 - 4

Daily Routine:

Wash the tattoo with soap and water twice a day (morning and evening).
Gently pat dry with a clean paper towel.

Day 5 [healing process]

Expect itching, flaking, and peeling around 3-4 days after getting the tattoo.
Do not pick or scratch the tattoo.
At this time you can start to implement fragrance-free lotion. Apply thin layers throughout the day as needed.

Important Precautions

Avoid submerging the tattoo in water
(pools, baths, hot tubs, etc.).
Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds.

Gym & Overall Health

Avoid sweating for about 48 hours after your tattoo appointment.
Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle to promote faster healing.
