🥒 Tattoo Aftercare

• Taking care of your new tattoo helps it heal properly and keeps the artwork looking its best.

• Keep it clean: Gently wash your tattoo with clean hands and mild, fragrance-free soap.

• Pat dry: Use a clean paper towel or let it air-dry. Don’t rub it.

• Moisturize: Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free tattoo aftercare lotion as recommended by your artist.

• Don’t pick or scratch: Peeling and itching are normal during healing. Let flakes and scabs fall off naturally.

• Avoid soaking: Stay out of pools, hot tubs, baths, lakes, and other bodies of water while your tattoo is healing.

• Protect it from the sun: Keep your healing tattoo out of direct sunlight. Once healed, use sunscreen to help protect the ink.

• Wear clean, loose clothing: Avoid unnecessary rubbing or friction over the tattoo.

• Follow your artist’s instructions: Aftercare can vary depending on the tattoo, placement, and type of bandage used.

• When in doubt, contact your tattoo artist. If you develop concerning symptoms such as spreading redness, worsening pain, significant swelling, pus, or fever, seek medical advice.
