Aftercare
Take care of your new ink.
We do half the work. This is the other half.
How your tattoo heals is mostly decided in the two weeks after you leave. Follow this and it will settle the way your artist drew it.
Do this
- Leave the wrap on for as long as your artist told you — usually a few hours, longer for second-skin film.
- Wash gently with clean hands and unscented soap, twice a day.
- Pat dry with a clean paper towel, never a bath towel.
- Apply a thin layer of the aftercare product we gave you. Thin — it needs air.
- Wear loose clothing over it.
Not this
- Do not pick or scratch the flaking skin. It takes the ink with it.
- No swimming, sauna, or baths for two weeks. Showers are fine.
- Keep it out of direct sun while healing, and use SPF on it forever after.
- No gym or heavy sweating for the first few days.
- Do not let anyone else touch it.
