Aftercare
Most tattoo artist have their own personal set of aftercare instructions, however all artists agree: Don't ask your friends how to heal your new tattoo! It's true that everyone heals differently but keep in mind that a tattoo is an invasive cosmetic procedure and it causes a strain on your immune system so always ask your professional artist for advice.
Healing Your New Tattoo
Using clean hands, gently wash your tattoo in warm water with an antibacterial unscented and undyed soap
​
Allow to air dry completely before applying an aftercare solution only when necessary. Over application can cause bacteria to get trapped under the surface of the skin so only apply enough to rub in like a sun screen or lotion
​
Repeat several times a day, always cleaning your tattoo before applying your aftercare
​
DO NOT:
Rewrap the tattoo
Touch the tattoo with dirty hands
Submerge your tattoo in water for extended periods
Expose it to direct sunlight for extended periods
Use towels on your new tattoo
Pick at or scratch your new tattoo
