Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your tattoo heals correctly and maintains its quality over time. Following these guidelines will help protect your skin and preserve your tattoo’s appearance.
After your tattoo session, keep the protective covering on for the time recommended by your artist. Once removed, gently wash the tattoo with clean water and mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat the area dry with a clean towel and avoid rubbing.
Clean your tattoo gently 2–3 times a day using mild soap and clean hands. After washing, apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare ointment or fragrance-free moisturizer. Avoid over-applying products, as this can slow down the healing process.
During healing, your tattoo may feel itchy and begin to peel. This is completely normal. Do not scratch, pick, or peel the skin, as this can damage the tattoo and affect the final result. Allow the skin to heal naturally.
Avoid swimming in pools, oceans, or hot tubs during the healing period. Stay away from direct sunlight, tanning beds, and excessive sweating. Wearing loose, clean clothing over the tattooed area is recommended to prevent irritation.
Once healed, protect your tattoo by using sunscreen when exposed to sunlight. Proper skincare helps preserve color, contrast, and detail, keeping your tattoo looking fresh for years to come.
Following proper aftercare ensures your tattoo heals well and remains a piece of art you can proudly wear for life.
