Tiny Tattoo & Fine Line Tattoo

 

Aftercare

​

 

• Always wash hands before handling your new tattoo 

 

• You will leave with a tegaderm/second skin on your new tattoo,leave second skin on for a maximum of 5-7 days (unless it feels irritating then remove right away) once removed cleanse skin with warm water, pat dry and apply thin layer of ointment. I recommend a fragrance free/ gentle moisturizer such as Bepanthen, Lubriderm, Vaseline intensive care unscented, or similar. 

• CLEANSE & MOISTURIZE for 2 WEEKS or until skin is healed 

 

• If you choose to use a soap, use a gentle fragrance free option.  Do not rub or use harsh soap products. Do not submerge your tattoo under water. Pat dry using a clean towel rather than rub.

 

• If your tattoo is itchy, do not scratch it. It is due to the build up of cream. Simply wash the tattoo with warm water and apply a new thin layer of cream. This should stop any itching. If any scabbing does occur, do not pick the scabs. Simply continue with the routine.

 

• Remember a tattoo is an open wound and needs to be kept clean at all times.

 

• Do not put any products over the tattoo during the healing process such as fake tan, scented moisturisers, perfume or make up.

 

• Do not shave or get waxed in the area of your tattoo during the healing process.

 

• During the healing process do not go swimming, take baths or any other activity that will submerge the tattoo in water.

 

• During the healing process try not to expose the tattoo to sunlight, so avoid sunbathing or sunbeds during this time.

 

• Avoid tight clothing over your new tattoo
