TATTOO AFTERCARE
-
When at home, remove wrapping and wash area thoroughly with anti-bacterial soap. Perform circular movements over the tattoo to remove any excess blood and ink from the surface of the skin.
-
Rinse off with warm water and air dry. You may now begin to moisturise. With clean, washed hands, apply a thin layer of your preferred aftercare cream and repeat 4-5 times daily. A little goes a long way. Try not to suffocate the skin. You DO NOT need to wrap again. We recommend Palmers Cocoa Butter or Butterluxe Tattoo Aftercare.
-
If your artist has applied the special guard wrap (instead of cling film), leave on for upto 5 days, remove gently in the shower and perform the above steps. The Guard must be airtight at all times. If it is disturbed before 5 days, remove gently and perform the above steps.
-
The following morning, repeat the washing process again.
-
Keep your tattoo clean and repeat the moisturising process again until fully healed.
Please do not pick the scab. Do not soak your tattoo in the bath or swimming pool. If you choose use Bepanthen to heal your tattoo, please make sure you purchase the new cream designed for tattoo healing and not the nappy cream. Please refrain from touching your tattoo unless to cream it. Make sure you apply cream with clean washed hands. Please remember your tattoo is an open wound and requires the utmost care.
Touch-ups are free of charge if brought to our attention within 2 months and will be at our discretion. After this time, a small charge will incur.
Aftercare balm is available to purchase at the studio.
