✦ AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS
Your tattoo is a living artwork. How you care for it now defines how it will live on your skin forever.
Clean the area gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap.
Avoid scrubbing. Use only your clean hands, no towels or sponges.
Pat dry with a clean paper towel and let your skin breathe.
Avoid plastic wrap unless specifically advised. Fresh air supports healing.
Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free healing ointment or tattoo balm.
Don’t overdo it—your skin needs moisture, not suffocation.
Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight for at least two weeks.
UV rays damage healing skin and can dull the ink permanently.
Avoid swimming pools, beaches, and baths.
Showers are okay—but soaking the tattoo will compromise healing and increase risk of infection.
Avoid tight fabrics that may rub or trap moisture.
Friction and sweat can lead to irritation or infection during healing.
Healing usually takes 2–4 weeks.
Flaking, peeling, and itching are normal. Don’t pick. Book your touch-up (if needed) only after full healing.
