Tattoo Aftercare

Tattoo aftercare is crucial for the healing and preservation of your tattoo. Following the tattooing process, your tattoo artist will apply a thin layer of ointment and wrap your tattoo in plastic wrap. You should leave the wrap on for a few hours before removing it and washing your tattoo with mild soap and warm water.

After washing, you should apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer or tattoo aftercare lotion to keep the tattooed area moisturized. You should also avoid direct sunlight, soaking in water, and wearing tight clothing that may rub against your tattoo.

In the first few days of healing, your tattoo will scab and peel. Do not pick or scratch at your tattoo, as this can lead to infection and damage to the design. It is also important to avoid swimming or submerging your tattoo in water until it has fully healed.

Following these aftercare tips will ensure that your tattoo heals properly and looks its best for years to come.
