Tattoo Aftercare
To ensure your tattoo heals quickly and efficiently please follow the advice provided.
If you have any worries in regard to the healing of your tattoo please don't hesitate to call the studio.
Your new tattoo was carefully crafted by your chosen artist, taking the upmost care to ensure you get the best tattoo possible. The next bit is up to you.
Remove the dressing after one hour and, with clean hands, gently wash your new tattoo with warm water and antibacterial soap. Once washed, pat the area dry with Kitchen Roll or a clean, soft towel. Apply an aftercare ointment as directed by your tattoo artist.
During the first 24-48 hours the tattoo will weep. This is perfectly normal. The following morning, with clean hands wash and dry your new tattoo as before, then gently apply the recommended aftercare cream. Repeat this process 2-3 times daily.
Most importantly, keep your new tattoo CLEAN. Always wash and dry the tattoo before applying a new layer of cream.
Your tattoo will take between 2 and 3 weeks to heal. During this time remember to avoid: Sun/Sunbeds and saunas Swimming Prolonged soaking in bath water Dirty and dusty environments Overly tight or abrasive clothing
Please DO NOT pick any scabs.
