Let’s take care of your skin! These steps are crucial to make sure all the time you spent in the tattoo session is truly worth it. (ง๑ •̀_•́)ง

TL;DR (▰˘◡˘▰)

• Let your tattoo breathe—avoid tight clothing on the area.
• Don’t pick, scratch, or soak the area.
• Keep the skin balanced—not too dry, not too wet.

Removing the Bandage

• After 3-5 days, gently remove the bandage. Wash your hands before doing so.
• Taking the bandage off during a shower can help it peel away more easily. Remove it slowly, in the direction of hair growth (downward).
• Clean your tattoo thoroughly with running water and pat it dry using a clean paper towel.
• Do not re-bandage your tattoo. If the bandage comes off before 3 days, remove it completely, rinse the area gently with running water, and pat dry. Then apply a fresh bandage (You can get it at your local drugstore like CVS or Walgreens). </aside>

Moisturizing

• After removing the bandage, apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizing ointment twice daily if needed. </aside>

Cleaning

• Avoid using body wash on the tattoo area for about a week after removing the bandage.
• Use running water to clean the tattoo and pat it dry with a clean paper towel. </aside>

DO NOT pick at scabs or rub

• Do not pick at scabs or rub the treated area while it’s healing. This can cause infection or color loss. </aside>

Sunlight and Tanning

• Stay out of direct sunlight and tanning booths for at least 2 weeks.
• Over time, extreme sun exposure can fade your tattoo. Minimize this by using a strong SPF 50 sunscreen. </aside>

Avoid

• Avoid swimming, baths, hot tubs, pools, saunas, and jacuzzis for at least 2 weeks.
• Avoid the gym for at least 48 hours after; a week is recommended.
• Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours post-tattoo, as it can increase bleeding and delay healing.
• Take cool showers to avoid scalding hot water, which can hurt the tattoo area and fade the ink.
• Avoid tight clothing and give your tattooed area space to breathe. </aside>

Healing Timeline

• Your tattoo should heal after 3 weeks.
• It’s normal for your tattoo to look a bit ashy or dull during the first 1–2 weeks, this is just new skin forming over the area as it heals.
• it’s normal for some excess ink to come out as it heals.
• If you notice severe redness, green/yellow discharge with a bad smell, or a fever, contact a physician immediately. </aside>

Thank you for being responsible for your healing!
