Aftercare

 

After removing the second skin, wash the tattoo once a day for about two weeks using only neutral soap, then pat dry with a clean paper towel or fresh towel. (don’t rub).

Use lukewarm water while washing — not hot, not ice cold.
 

Apply a very small amount of tattoo cream 3–5 times a day for about two weeks. The third week once or twice if needed.

 

Important:

​

• Keep the tattoo out of the sun for at least three weeks.
   

• Do not soak the tattoo: no baths, swimming, sauna, etc. Also for at least three weeks.
   

• Avoid intense exercise for the first 24–72 hours (especially workouts that make you sweat heavily). Fresh tattoos are essentially healing skin, and excess sweat, friction, and bacteria can irritate them.
   

• Avoid activities that stretch, rub, or put pressure on the tattoo (tight clothing, straps, knee/elbow contact, etc.) until it has started healing.
   

• Do not let gym equipment or shared surfaces touch the tattoo directly — they can carry bacteria. Keep it covered with clean clothing if needed and wash your hands before applying a new layer of cream or washing it under the shower.
   

• Avoid long showers with water running directly over the tattoo in the first three weeks. After it's washed and rinsed keep it away from the running water.

​

Note:
 

• If the tattoo feels dry, apply cream.

​

• Keep your tattoo away from animal hair during the healing phase.

​

• When it starts peeling or itching, do not scratch.

​

• Keep your tattoo away from any animal's hair.
   

• Scratching can remove ink and may require a touch-up.
