Aftercare Instructions
Day's 1-2
​
- Keep the bandage on for 2 to 6 hours post-tattoo session.
- Always wash your hands before handling your tattoo or removing its bandage.
- Gently cleanse your tattoo twice daily using unscented, mild soap (like diluted Dr. Bronners Pure-Castile Soap, Baby Unscented). This helps prevent irritation.
- Be cautious not to over-wash or soak the tattoo during its healing phase.
- Avoid soaps with added fragrances, colors, or abrasive materials.
- Dry the area by gently patting with a clean towel or paper towel.
- Remember, touch your tattoo only with clean hands.
​
Day 3 - Moving Forward
​
- Continue with the hand-washing and tattoo-cleansing routine from the first two days.
- After drying the tattoo, apply a very thin layer of unscented moisturizer, such as organic raw coconut oil or Lubriderm's/Cetaphil's unscented body lotion.
- Wait for the first 48 hours to pass before applying any lotion or coconut oil.
- Reapply your chosen aftercare product as necessary throughout the day, for about a week or until the tattoo fully heals.
- Be mindful not to over-moisturize the tattoo.
- Avoid re-bandaging the tattoo during the healing process.
- Keep your tattoo away from water immersion (no swimming or long baths) and direct sunlight.
- Choose clothes that are loose and won’t rub against your healing tattoo.
- As your tattoo peels (a natural part of healing), resist the urge to scratch or pick at it. If itching occurs, lightly slap the area instead.

Additional Care
​
- After 3-4 weeks, if your tattoo requires touch-ups, feel free to contact us. However, note that face or hand tattoos are exempt from free touch-ups due to their sensitive location, typically requiring 2-3 sessions for optimal results.
Follow these guidelines diligently to ensure your new tattoo heals beautifully and remains a vibrant expression of your individuality.
