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.
