Aftercare​

• Leave dressing on for 4 hours 

• With clean hands- remove dressing 

• Once removed- wash your tattoo gently with warm water and a mild soap making sure all the gooey bits are washed off - don’t use any sponges/ towels/ anything exfoliating just use clean fingertips 

• Dab dry (not rub) with clean kitchen roll 

• let it dry completely for 10-15 minuets allowing skin to breath 

• Apply a thin even layer of aftercare cream (coconut oil/ cocoa butter/hustle butter)

• Repeat process from washing 2-3 times a day for 2 weeks! 

• You may need to re-wrap tattoo with cling film the following day while still sealing over or the first night, but try and let it breath once not ‘gooey’

Do

• Keep clean and moisturised 

• Apply aftercare 2-3 times a day

• Wash in between appliances of cream

• Wear comfortable clothing so not to irritate or rub on the tattoo 

• Contact me if you have any questions 

Don’t

• Use harsh fragrances/ soaps/ products on the tattoo while healing 

• Use towels to dry as they can contain bacteria and leave fibres on tattoo

• Pick scratch or itch the tattoo while healing- if it gets super itchy, wash it and reapply fresh cream. 

• Submerge tattoo in ‘dirty water’ for the initial healing time - no swimming/soaking in the bath/hot tubs etc. 

• Expose to strong direct sunlight/ UV rays like sun-beds for 3-4 weeks
