Tattoo Aftercare

The life of your tattoo depends on the first weeks of care. We also hand you this guide in writing after the session.

First 24 Hours

  1. 1

    Keep the wrap on for as long as the artist told you (usually 2–4 hours).

  2. 2

    After removing it, wash gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap.

  3. 3

    Pat dry with a clean paper towel — don't rub.

  4. 4

    Apply a thin layer of the recommended aftercare cream.

First 2–4 Weeks

  1. 1

    Wash and moisturize 2–3 times a day.

  2. 2

    Don't pick or scratch the scabs — let them fall off on their own.

  3. 3

    Stay away from pools, sea, saunas and tanning beds.

  4. 4

    Protect from direct sunlight; use high-SPF sunscreen once healed.

  5. 5

    Drink plenty of water and avoid tight clothing rubbing the area.

Avoid These

  • Alcohol for the first 48 hours
  • Scratching and picking scabs
  • Pool and sea water (first 3–4 weeks)
  • Tanning beds and direct sun
  • Heavy workouts (first week)
