Aftercare guide

Your new piece of art is an investment. Proper healing ensures the vibrant colors and detailed lines of your tattoo remain a masterpiece for years to come.

Initial Phase

The First 24 Hours

After the tattoo is complete your artist will clean it thoroughly and apply a clear adhesive bandage. This protective film helps shield your fresh tattoo from bacteria and promotes healing.

Healing Phase

The First Week

Keep the adhesive bandage on for 3-4 days.
Feel free to apply ice over the bandage to help reduce swelling during the first few days.
Watch for any signs of irritation around or beneath the bandage,, as well as any fluid leaking from underneath it.
You can shower with the bandage on but if you notice any of these issues remove the adhesive bandage right away.
Gently and slowly peel off the adhesive bandage in the shower with warm water to ease the process.
After bandage removal wash your tattoo with an antibacterial soap and warm water. Gently pat dry with a clean paper towel or air dry it. Then apply a thin layer of fragrance - free moisturizer ensuring it is fully absorbed into the skin.
Repeat this two times a day for two weeks.

Preservation Phase

Long-Term Care
