Tattoo Aftercare
Your tattoo artist may cover your tattoo with a plastic wrap. Keep this on for a maximum of 2 hours and remove it gently.
– After removing the initial covering, wash your tattoo gently with mild, fragrance-free soap and water. Use your hands, not a washcloth or sponge, to avoid irritation.
– Gently pat your tattoo dry with a clean towel and do not cover the tattoo, leaving it open to allow it to dry.
– Do not apply any aftercare balm for a period of 2 days. This time will allow your tattoo to fully dry out and speed up the healing process.
– After 48 hours, apply aftercare balm 2-3 times a day, especially when your tattoo feels dry or tight.
– Itching is normal as your tattoo heals, but resist the urge to scratch it. Picking can cause scarring and loss of color.
– Protect your tattoo from direct sunlight and especially tanning beds until it’s fully healed. After it’s healed, use sunscreen to prevent fading when in the sun for long periods.
