AFTERCARE

Tattoos generally take 2-3 weeks to heal, and up to a few months to fully settle into the skin. Follow the steps below to ensure happy healing!

• Wash your tattoo with warm water and mild soap, do not use a facecloth.

• Pat tattoo dry with clean paper towel. Do not apply lotion yet.

• Wear loose, breathable clothing over the tattoo. Do not rebandage.

• After a few days, when the tattoo is getting tight and dry, you can sparingly use an unscented water-based moisturizer.

• Do not use Vaseline, Polysporin, or oil based moisturizers. Do not use coconut oil as it will smother the tattoo and prevent proper healing.

• Avoid picking or scratching.

• Do not submerge your tattoo in water, this includes swimming and baths.

• Showering is fine, make sure to wash your tattoo gently.

• Avoid exposing your tattoo to the sun. Cover with clothing for two weeks.

• Do not put sunscreen on a healing tattoo.

• Shower after any physical activity.

  If an infection occurs, this includes intense swelling. pain, redness, warmth, or weird smell several days after the procedure, please contact a physician immediately.
