Tattoo Aftercare

Step-by-step guide to caring for your new tattoo

After your appointment

  1. Remove and dispose of the dressing after 1 to 2 hours
  2. Wash your tattoo with warm soapy water. Be gentle but thorough. There will be a little blood, plasma and sometimes ink, this is normal.
  3. Pat dry with a clean paper towel or kitchen paper.
  4. Apply a small amount of aftercare cream.

Once, every day

  1. Wash your tattoo with warm soapy water. Be gentle but thorough.
  2. Pat dry with a clean paper towel or kitchen paper.
  3. Apply a small amount of aftercare cream.

2-3 Times, every DAY

  1. Apply a small amount of the recommended aftercare cream to your tattoo. You can purchase aftercare cream from our online shop here.

Please, do not

  1. Pick or scratch your new tattoo, you may experience some itching which is perfectly normal, however try to refrain.
  2. Touch your tattoo with dirty hands. It is an open wound and can get infected if exposed to dirt, wash your hands thoroughly!
  3. Allow pets to touch or lie on your tattoo.
  4. Wear dirty clothing. Make sure any fabric or clothes are clean before they come into contact with your tattoo.
  5. Use any none recommended products to your fresh, healing tattoo. These may cause a reaction and prevent your tattoo from healing well.
  6. Soak your tattoo, we recommend showering instead of using a bath whilst your new tattoo is healing.
  7. Go swimming or partake in any watersports.
  8. Leave your tattoo exposed to the sun, it will burn, blister and scar. For healed tattoos we recommend the use of a high fact sun cream to prolong the life of your tattoo by delaying fading and aging and helping to keep the colours fresh.
