Tattoo Aftercare
Caring for your new tattoo is essential for its healing and longevity. We recommend keeping it clean and moisturized. Avoid soaking in water or exposing it to direct sunlight until it heals. The aftercare process ensures your tattoo looks vibrant and beautiful longer.
Understanding the Healing Process
Treat your new tattoo like a wound. Your artist will apply a medical-grade "second skin" adhesive bandage to protect your art from bacteria, fluids, and friction. Remove this bandage after three days. Gently wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap and pat dry. Do not soak or fully submerge the tattoo or swim in chlorinated water. Apply ointment (e.g., Aquaphor, calendula oil), do not rebandage, and do not scratch or itch.
Tattoo Longevity
The healing time is the most important thing for the longevity of your new tattoo. Avoid direct sunlight and apply sunscreen before any sun exposure. Wear loose clothing for at least two weeks. Continue applying ointment to the tattoo for at least two weeks.
