AFTER CARE
Congrats on your new tat! Your new tattoo has been made following the highest hygiene standards, now it's your duty to take care of it.
1. Keep your tattoo covered with the cling wrap for about 2 hours. Remove the wrap when you're in a clean environment and wash it gently with mild soapy water.
2. Do not rebandage your tattoo, your skin has to breathe in order for it to heal.
3. Start using an after care product that agrees with your skin from the next day. Before applying, make sure that your hands are perfectly clean. Twice a day is enough to keep your skin moist, apply just a thin layer.
Keeping your tattoo perfectly clean is the first rule for a speedy healing. Don't touch, pick or scratch your tattoo or the surrounding area. Avoid any clothing or jewellery rubbing on your fresh tattoo.
Everyone has a different healing time and every tattoo is different. A big tattoo will take longer to heal compared to a small, light outline tattoo. However, for the next 2 weeks, we advise you to:
Avoid keeping your tattoo soaking in water, a fast wash is all it needs.
No swimming pool, bath tub, sauna or beach.
Avoid direct sunlight until your tattoo is completely healed - the use of sun protection is strongly recommended.
Your tattoo will likely peel and flake. Don't panic, it's all part of the healing process. It's possible that your tattoo will itch while healing. Don't pick off the scabs and don't scratch it! Apply a thin layer of after care for relief.
Now that your tattoo is perfectly healed, you're ready for another one!
