Tattoo Aftercare: Your Guide to Healing

Proper aftercare is essential for ensuring your new tattoo heals beautifully and retains its vibrancy. Following these guidelines will help prevent infection, minimize irritation, and promote optimal healing. Whether it’s your first tattoo or a new addition to your collection, taking the right steps will keep your ink looking its best for years to come.

What To Do…

  • Initial Care

    Keep your tattoo wrapped overnight. In the morning, remove the cling film. Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your tattoo, then clean the area with warm, soapy water until all plasma and residue are gone. Use a mild, fragrance-free soap like Dove, Simple, or Sanex. Avoid scented soaps (e.g., Lynx) as they can irritate the tattoo and hinder healing.

  • Avoid Submersion

    Do not soak your tattoo in water; showers are fine, but avoid baths, swimming pools, and hot tubs until fully healed.

    Let your tattoo air dry or gently pat it dry with kitchen roll, as towels can harbor bacteria.

  • Apply Aftercare

    Once dry, apply the recommended aftercare cream in a thin layer. Use it 2-3 times daily for two weeks. Always wash your hands before applying, and clean the tattoo as instructed.

    Wipe away any excess cream gently with kitchen roll to prevent over-application, which can affect healing.
