Tattoo Aftercare

If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with us!
Always wash your hands before touching your tattoo whilst it's healing!
  1. Gently wash off the aftercare cream the tattooist has applies in 1-4 hours with mild soap and water.
  2. Apply a fresh thin layer of Savlon or Bepanthen 2-3 times daily (enough to keep lightly moisturised).
  3. Do NOT soak your tattoo in water. Avoid long baths/showers, swimming etc. KEEP YOUR TATTOO AS DRY AS YOU CAN
  4. After 2-3 days you'll notice the skin around the tattoo will peel, flake or scab. This is a normal healing stage, so please do not panic!

  • Do NOT pick, scratch or mess around with your tattoo
  • Do NOT expose it to direct sunlight whilst it is healing
  • When possible, try to wear loose clothing & avoid anything that will rub against the tattoo
  • Once the tattoo has completely healed, you may notice the skin around the area is dry. Please try to use (preferably fragrance-free) moisturiser to keep your skin & your tattoo in the best condition possible.
  • Once the tattoo is healed, if there are any parts that haven't healed correctly or if you have mistakenly knocked/scraped it during healing, please get in touch and we will book you in for a touch-up appointment free-of-charge.
  • Sunlight is bad for tattoos even once they are healed. Please try to use SPF when possible in order to keep your tattoo looking as best as it can.
