FAQ'S

HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY NEW TATTOO?

 

The first 72 hours is a crucial period for your tattoo follow these aftercare instructions carefully.

  • New tattoo has to be covered in cling film for the first 2 hours after the tattoo is complete.

  • It is important to clean the tattoo after the cling film is taken off with warm soapy water and clean the tattoo everyday at least 3-5 time per day.

  • It is ideal to rewrap with cling film over night for the first few days to avoid contact with bedding and bed clothes.

  • By the second day the tattoo will start to look dry, To stop the tattoo from drying out and cracking apply very thin layers bepanthen, coconut oil or other aftercare  I recommend  3-4 times a day or as needed. continue this for atleast 2 weeks until the tattoo is healed, bear in mind applying moisturiser indefinitely will keep the tattoo looking fresh.

During the healing process DO NOT;

soak,

pick,

scratch,

expose to sun light or sun beds.

Avoid swimming, saunas, oils and grease

Don’t use other aftercare products unless you seek advice from your artist
