AFTERCARE

To ensure the best result for your tattoo and your health, please care for your tattoo after completion. Here’s our advice on how to look after your new tattoo:

• After your tattoo has been completed we will wrap the tattooed area in cling wrap. Please leave this on for 1-2 hours. Do not ever re-wrap the tattoo.

• After 1-2 hours, remove the cling wrap and wash your tattooed area with warm soapy water. Showers are fine, but please avoid soaking the tattoo in baths.

• Pat dry with a clean towel and let the tattoo air dry for around half an hour.

• Apply a thin amount of the aftercare cream that is available in our studio for purchase. Please don't ever use a product or brand that hasn't been recommended by your tattoo artist. You will need to apply this cream multiple times a day for 2-3 weeks.

• Never let your tattoo dry out and never over-apply cream. It needs to breathe to heal properly.

• No swimming in chlorine or salt water for 2 weeks. Avoid saunas. Do not scratch or pick your tattoo and avoid all tanning products until it has completely healed.

• Please be mindful that bacteria from pets and people touching the tattoo can cause serious infection.

• We offer a free touch up if required 3 months post your appointment
