Taking care of your new tattoo is essential for proper healing and long-lasting results. Follow these aftercare instructions closely to protect your skin and preserve the detail and depth of your piece.

Day 1: Immediately After Your Tattoo

• Your tattoo will be covered with a bandage or protective wrap. Leave this on for 4–6 hours unless instructed otherwise.

• Once removed, wash the area gently with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap.

• Pat dry with a clean towel or allow it to air dry. Do not rub.

Days 2–14: Healing Process

• Apply a thin layer of tattoo ointment or a fragrance-free lotion 2–3 times daily.

• Avoid soaking the tattoo in water (no baths, pools, or hot tubs).

• Do not expose your tattoo to direct sunlight.

• Expect some peeling and light scabbing—this is normal. Do not pick or scratch.

What to Avoid

• No heavy sweating or intense workouts for at least 3–5 days.

• Avoid tight or abrasive clothing over the tattooed area.

• Do not use scented lotions, alcohol-based products, or anything not recommended.

Long-Term Care

• Keep your tattoo moisturized to maintain vibrancy.

• Use sunscreen on your tattoo once it is fully healed to prevent fading.

• Schedule touch-ups if needed to maintain sharpness and contrast over time.

If you experience any signs of infection such as excessive redness, swelling, pus, or fever, contact a healthcare professional right away.
