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:

​​​

1. After 24-48 hours remove the second skin ​

2. Gently wash the tattoo with warm soapy water

3. Pat dry with a clean towel or let it air dry 

4. Gently apply a small amount of tattoo cream from your aftercare kit to your tattoo. Massage into skin gently

5. Do not cover again - Let it breathe and heal through the air

6. 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

7. Your tattoo may become itchy. DO NOT pick or itch your tattoo. This is normal in healing

8. Avoid sun, chlorine, salt and soaking of your tattoo for at least two weeks.

9. 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.
