Fine Line Tattooing Aftercare
How Do I Care for My Tattoo?
Every tattoo studio has their own aftercare method but I have found the best results with the following:
​​​
-
After 24-48 hours remove the second skin ​
-
Gently wash the tattoo with warm soapy water
-
Pat dry with a clean towel or let it air dry
-
Gently apply a small amount of tattoo cream from your aftercare kit to your tattoo. Massage into skin gently
-
Do not cover again - Let it breathe and heal through the air
-
Apply the tattoo cream 4-5 times a day to your fresh tattoo for the first week and 2-3 times in the second week
-
Your tattoo may become itchy. DO NOT pick or itch your tattoo. This is normal in healing
-
Avoid sun, chlorine, salt and soaking of your tattoo for at least two weeks.
-
Avoid tight clothing on your tattoo, strenous exercise that can cause excessive sweating, hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms until fully healed
​
It is important to look after your tattoo. If you don't the results can be affected and your tattoo won't look as good. At any time you can send a message and ask for advice if needed.
