Tattoo Aftercare
Healthy healing for long‑lasting results.

First 24 hours

  • Leave the bandage on for the time advised by your artist.
  • Wash hands, then gently clean with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance‑free soap.
  • Pat dry with a clean paper towel — do not rub.
  • Apply a thin layer of recommended ointment if instructed.

Days 2–7

  • Clean once or twice daily; keep the area moisturized with a fragrance‑free lotion.
  • Avoid soaking, pools, hot tubs, and direct sunlight.
  • Do not pick or scratch; light flaking/itching is normal.

Weeks 2–4

  • Continue moisturizing; protect from sun exposure (SPF 30+ after fully healed).
  • Resume normal activity once skin has fully closed and flaking has subsided.
