Tattoo After Care.

DO
Please Leave the dressing on until the following morning.
We advise removing it as soon as you can on waking up, preferably in the shower. Wash Gently (with clean hands) with your soap and gently pat dry with a clean towel.Keep your tattoo clean, this is the most important part of after care.

Please wash your tattoo 3 times a day.

Wear loose clean cotton clothing over your tattoo whilst healing.
After a couple of days your tattoo will develop a light scab.
Do not pick or scratch LEAVE IT ALONE!


Continue to wash & apply cream

Picking scabs removes colour and could cause infection.
During your healing process if your tattoo feels tight or uncomfortable, apply a TINY amount of recommended ointment to relive it.

Always wash hands before applying cream/ointment.
I recommend a very mild moisturiser such as

  • El Gato Negro
  • Palmers Cocoa Butter Lotion
  • Lush Dreamcream
  • E45
(Applying too much will delay healing and cause excessive scabbing, so only use a little)
DON’T
​Do not
re-bandage the tattoo whilst healing

Do not soak the tattoo whilst healing (a quick wash or shower is sufficient)
No animal hair, No dusty environments etc.
No swimming, No saunas, No exposure to direct sunlight during the healing.

We are tattooing at the following Conventions...
