Tattoo Aftercare
|
Your tattoo is applied with care in a clean environment. Once you leave the shop, how you look after it will affect the end result. Please follow my advice on aftercare.
The aftercare of your tattoo is your responsibility.
|
| 1 |
Remove dressing after 1 hour.
|
| 2 |
Wash the new tattoo gently with warm water and a mild soap.
Ensure that the tattoo is visibly clean and pat dry with a clean towel.
|
| 3 |
Apply a very thin layer of 'Bepanthen' skin cream.
|
| 4 |
Repeat steps 2 and 3 three times a day for the first two days.
After this stop applying the cream but continue to gently wash the tattoo.
Showers are fine but do not soak the tattoo in a bath.
|
| 5 |
Never expose the new tattoo to dirt, cement, oil, paint etc until fully healed.
Avoid sunbathing, swimming, saunas etc for 2 weeks.
|
| 6 |
Allow any scabbing to flake off.
Never pick scabs! This can lead to infections and ink loss!
|
| 7 |
If in doubt consult your tattooist.
