Aftercare
Your tattoo is 50% our work and 50% your care. Follow these instructions to ensure your piece heals with maximum clarity and color retention.
Days 1-3
The Initial Phase
Keep the bandage on for the first 2-4 hours. Wash gently with fragrance-free soap. Pat dry—do not rub.
Days 4-10
Peeling & Itching
The tattoo will begin to flake like a sunburn. Do not pick or scratch. Apply a thin layer of recommended ointment 2-3 times daily.
Days 11-30
Settling In
The skin may look slightly cloudy as it deep-heals. Continue moisturizing and avoid direct sunlight or soaking in water.
The Golden Rules
- ✖ NO picking or scratching flakes.
- ✖ NO swimming, saunas, or hot tubs for 3 weeks.
- ✖ NO direct sunlight for at least 14 days.
