Right After Your Tattoo

• Wash your hands, then gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap.

• Pat dry with a clean paper towel — never rub.

• Apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare cream (fragrance-free, non-alcoholic).

• Avoid re-covering unless recommended.

First Week

• Wash and moisturize the tattoo 2–3 times daily.

• Keep it clean, dry, and lightly moisturized — no thick layers of cream.

• Do not scratch, pick, or peel — even if it itches or flakes.

• Avoid tight clothing, heavy exercise, and direct sunlight.

• No swimming, sauna, or soaking.

After Week 2

• Most healing is complete after 2–3 weeks.

• Keep moisturizing daily.

• Protect your tattoo from sunlight — always use SPF 50 if exposed.

• Proper aftercare is key to beautiful healing and long-lasting results.

• Healing varies from person to person. If you’re unsure whether something is normal, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
