TATTOO AFTERCARE
Your artist will apply aftercare to your fresh tattoo and wrap it for you, leave this on till you get home.
Wash your hands and then wash your tattoo well, with warm soapy water, and either pat dry with a clean towel or allow to air dry.
Apply a thin layer of cream as recommended by your artist once completely dry, making sure your hands are clean. A little goes a long way.
Be sure to wear clean, loose fitting clothing that will not rub, irritate or stick to your tattoo. Continue to wash your tattoo at least twice a day, applying aftercare when necessary to avoid it drying out too much.
After a few days, your tattoo will dry out, begin to flake and start to feel slightly itchy. This is a normal part of the healing process…. DO NOT pick at it or scratch it!
It’s important to treat your new tattoo the same as you would any other superficial graze… keep it clean, dry and try not to fuss over it too much! With a little time and patience your tattoo will heal in 7 – 10 days. If you have any further questions regarding aftercare or the healing process please don’t hesitate to contact us.
