Aftercare

First Day/Night

​

Once you get home, first wash your hands then remove the cling film and gently wash with anti-bacterial soap. pat it dry with a clean towel and let it air out for a while, then re-wrap with cling film and repeat the process again before bed.

​​

The maximum time the tattoo should be kept wrapped is no more than 24 hours unless advised otherwise.

If you are using a second skin sticker, you just need to remove it after 24 hours and then wash it.

​

The tattoo should be cleaned twice daily using anti-bacterial soap. After patting dry with a clean towel, and  allowing it to air out, apply a THIN layer of 'Bepanthen plus'.

 

Take your time to rest and be sure to hydrate plenty as it will help your skin heal fast and well, especially with bigger tattoos.

Your Daily Tattoo Aftercare Routine

 

Apply the 'Bepanthen plus' 2-3 times a day (Remember, keep it light!) for the first 5-7 days or until your tattoo starts to flake/peel like a sunburn. When the peeling begins, switch to a regular FRAGRANCE FREE lotion.

​

 

Important Do's and Don’ts

​

Clean towels, bedding and clothes are highly recommended during the healing process.

 

Showering is fine, however, please DO NOT soak your tattoo for at least 2 weeks. This means no swimming, baths or submerging your tattoo in water for long periods of time.

 

Avoid direct sunlight on your tattoo for at least 2 weeks (until your tattoo is completely healed). After that, we advise putting on a sunblock. The sun will undoubtedly cause damage and compromise the longevity of your tattoo.

 

Wear loose clothing (preferably cotton) and avoid constricting accessories like bra straps and tight waistbands over a fresh tattoo. Avoid dirty, sweaty or itchy clothing as they can create healing problems.

 

Enjoy your new tattoo :)
