AFTERCARE

Upon completion of your tattoo, follow these steps for proper care:

1. Remove the cling film after two hours.

2. Wash the tattoo gently with warm water and unscented soap.

3. Pat it dry using a clean, dry towel.

4. Apply a thin layer of the recommended balm, ensuring the skin appears glossy.

5. Reapply the balm 4-5 times daily or as needed throughout the initial two-week healing period.

6. Avoid peeling any skin, as it may result in ink loss from your tattoo.

WHAT TO AVOID WHILST HEALING

Shower Sensibly: Keep showers brief (under 10 minutes) to prevent loosening scabs, which can impede healing.
Avoid Immersion: Refrain from swimming in the ocean, pools, or hot tubs/saunas until your tattoo has fully healed.
Hands Off: Resist the temptation to scratch, scrub, or pick at your new tattoo to prevent interference with the healing process and potential scarring. Use the recommended balm for relief from itching.
Sun Safety: Wait until your tattoo is completely healed (around 6 weeks) before exposing it to sunlight or using tanning beds. Always use high-quality sunscreen afterward, but never on a healing tattoo.
