Healing guide

Tattoo Aftercare

Proper aftercare ensures your tattoo heals beautifully. Follow these guidelines carefully.

First 24 hours

Keep the bandage on for 2-4 hours. After removing, gently wash with fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry — do not rub.

Days 1–14

  • Apply a thin layer of unscented lotion 2-3x daily
  • Avoid submerging in water (pools, ocean, baths)
  • Keep out of direct sunlight
  • Do not scratch or pick at peeling skin

Long-term care

Always apply SPF 30+ sunscreen over healed tattoos when exposed to sun. This preserves color and line quality for years.
