Tattoo after care
Your new tattoo is 100% your responsibility once you leave the shop. Healing a new tattoo correctly is a responsibility to be taken seriously like any other procedure.
WASH YOUR TATTOO
Gently wash your new new tattoo with clean warm soapy water 1-2 hours after your procedure. Gently pat dry with clean paper towel.
APPLYING BEPANTHEN
Sparing apply bepanthen antiseptic cream to the tattoo with clean hands after washing. Apply 2-3 times per day until fully healed.
WHAT NOT TO DO!
AVOID: Chlorinated water, salt water, chemicals or direct sunlight for two weeks after your tattoo procedure.
DO NOT: Pick or scratch your tattoo. If it becomes flakey let the natural healing process happen or apply a small amount of bepanthen.
LONG TERM AFTER CARE
Moisturising your tattoo after the healing process will also help the health of your tattoo as it ages.
Remember to use sunscreen throughout the warmer months to keep your tattoos in vibrant shape.
