TATTOO AFTER CARE
Good aftercare helps your tattoo heal properly and keeps it looking its best. Follow the guidelines below for the next
7–10 days, and if you’re ever unsure, just pop us a WhatsApp.
KEEP IT CLEAN
Wash the tattooed area twice a day — morning and night — for the next 7–10 days. Use a mild soap such as Dove, Cetaphil or a gentle baby wash. Wash with clean hands and pat dry — don’t rub.
APPLY OINTMENT
24 hours after your tattoo, begin applying a thin layer of tattoo aftercare cream or a recommended alternative. Apply 3 times a day for 7–10 days. Suggested options: our studio aftercare ointment, E45 or Epimax.
AVOID SOAKING
Avoid soaking your tattoo until it is fully healed. No swimming pools, jacuzzis or saunas. Showers are best, but bathing is fine as long as the tattoo is not submerged for long periods.
PRECENT IRRITATION
Be mindful of tight or chafing clothing around the tattoo. Only touch the area with clean hands, and avoid letting pets, children or other people touch it while it heals.
TAKE A BREAK
Avoid strenuous exercise for the first 3–4 days, especially activities that cause excessive sweating, rubbing or stretching around the tattooed area.
LINEN SAVER
If you purchased an aftercare pack from us, do not pull the linen saver off the following morning. Let it loosen naturally in the shower after it has been soaked with water.
BOOK A CHECK-UP
Contact us around 6 weeks after your appointment for your complimentary tattoo check-up.
