  • Immediate care

    • Remove the bandage: Take off the bandage as instructed by your artist, usually within a few hours to a day, and do not re-bandage.

    • Wash your hands: Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your tattoo.

    • Wash gently: Use lukewarm water and a mild antibacterial soap. Do not use a washcloth or loofah; use only your hands.

    • Pat dry: Gently pat the area dry with a clean paper towel and let it air dry completely before applying ointment. 

    First few days

    • Apply a thin layer of ointment: Use a very thin layer of an artist-approved ointment or a fragrance-free lotion, like Aquaphor or Cetaphil. Do not use petroleum jelly, Neosporin, or similar products.

    • Wash and moisturize 1-2 times a day: Continue this routine unless the tattoo gets dirty. Avoid over-moisturizing, as a thick layer can prevent the skin from breathing correctly. 

    After the first few days

    • Switch to lotion: After a few days, you can switch from ointment to a fragrance-free, unscented lotion to keep the skin hydrated.

    • Do not pick or scratch: As the tattoo peels, resist the urge to scratch or pick at the scabs to prevent ink loss or infection.

    • Wear loose clothing: Wear loose, clean clothing over the tattooed area to prevent rubbing and irritation. 

    Long-term and what to avoid

    • Avoid soaking: Stay out of baths, hot tubs, and pools for at least two weeks or until the tattoo is fully healed. Showers are fine, but keep them short.

    • Stay out of the sun: Protect your tattoo from direct sunlight while it is healing. Once healed, use a strong sunscreen (SPF 25 or higher) to prevent fading over time.

    • Avoid heavy sweating: Avoid intense exercise, as heavy sweating can cause issues for a healing tattoo.

    • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support the healing process.

    • Avoid contact with soils, and pets (animals) as this can increase risk of infection.

    • Listen to your artist: Follow your tattoo artist's specific instructions, as they may vary. If you have concerns, contact your artist directly.
