Aftercare Guidelines

Proper aftercare of your tattoo is essential to the healing process. It's up to youhow well you are willing to take care of your new tattoo! Keep in mind, a tattoois an open wound, therefore it is essential to keep it clean at all times. 

  • Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo.

  • Keep your tattoo protective film on for the period of time recommended by your tattoo artist.

  • You might see leaking liquids. Don't be scared or grossed out by this, asthis is normal and expected. The liquid is a mixture of plasma, blood, andthe extra ink that is inadvertently in our skin!

  • After the recommended period, gently remove the film and wash yourtattoo with lukewarm water and a small amount of unscented ph-neutralsoap using your fingers only - be firm, but gentle. No excessive rubbing orexfoloating! Pat dry with kitchen towel.

  • Apply a very thin layer of tattoo aftercare cream 2-3 times a day. Do not apply excessive cream as the scab will become thick, and you will suffocatethe wound. Keep it clean, dry and moisturised! 

  • You may notice your tattoo slightly scab or flake. DO NOT pick your scab oritch the area, which is very important! Picking a scab will also pull colour out, expose the tattoo to infection and can result in permanent scars.

    Things to avoid during the healing process:

  • Touching/itching the tattooed skin area. It will get very itchy! 

  • Submerging the area of your tattooed skin in water for at least 4-6 weeks(baths, swimming, sauna, steamroom) Showers are okay! 

  • Wearing clothing that may cause excessive rubbing to the area.

  • Exposure to the sun, especially in the first month. Always apply suitablesuncream.

  • Fragranced soap/creams.

  • Feel free to contact us for any further questions, no matter how small or big. 

    Thank you for trusting us with your tattoo.

    Happy healing!
