Tattoo Aftercare Instructions
Follow the personalized instructions provided at your appointment first. The guidance below is a general reference for protecting a new decorative tattoo during healing.
Cleaning
Gently wash with lukewarm water and a mild fragrance-free cleanser. Do not scrub. Pat dry with a clean disposable paper towel and allow the skin to air dry briefly.
Moisture
Apply only the recommended product in a very thin layer. Too much ointment can trap moisture. Avoid fragranced lotions or unapproved home remedies.
During Healing
Avoid pools, hot tubs, baths, lakes, direct sun, friction and picking. Wear clean, loose clothing and let flakes release naturally.
Long-Term Care
After the tattoo is fully healed, regular broad-spectrum sun protection and skin moisturization help preserve clarity and contrast.
Contact the Studio or a Clinician
Mild tenderness and flaking can occur. Seek medical care for rapidly spreading redness, increasing heat or pain, pus, fever, red streaking, severe swelling or signs of an allergic reaction.
