Tattoo aftercare

• when you get home after your sitting you can wash your tattoo with mild soapy water, press dry with kitchen roll and re-cover with fresh cling film.

• over the next day or two your tattoo can weep and look gunky and inky under the clingfilm. when it does just repeat the first step and wash, dry and re-wrap. wash 2-3 times a day.

• once the wetness stops under the clingfilm (around day 3) remove clingfilm altogether and allow your tattoo to breathe and dry out. just keep it clean and dry at this stage.

• start to use a cream or lotion once your tattoo is dry and rough. the tattoo will itch, flake and peel so just massage a small amount of lotion into the area when needed.

• it will take up to 2 weeks for your tattoo to fully heal, during this period avoid submerging in water (no bath/swimming/hot-tub) and avoid exposure to sun/sun-bed

• to maintain a fresh looking tattoo always use a high SPF cream when in the sun and moisturise regularly.
