Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your tattoo heals well and looks vibrant for years to come. Follow these detailed aftercare instructions to protect your new artwork and promote healthy healing.
Keep the bandage on for at least 2-4 hours after your tattoo session. This protects the fresh tattoo from bacteria and dirt.
After that, you wash your hands thoroughly before removing the bandage. Gently peel it off to avoid pulling at the skin.
Wash your tattoo with lukewarm water & a mild, fragrance-free soap. Use your fingertips to gently clean the area, removing any blood.
Pat the tattoo dry with a clean paper towel. Avoid rubbing, as this can irritate the skin. Apply a thin layer to keep the tattoo moist.
Rinse the tattoo with lukewarm water to ensure all soap is removed. Avoid using hot water, as it can irritate the skin and open pores.
Ensure the product is specifically designed for tattoo aftercare to promote healing and keep the skin hydrated.
