HEALING GUIDE
TATTOO AFTERCARE
Proper aftercare ensures your tattoo heals beautifully. Follow these guidelines carefully.
FIRST 24 HOURS
Keep the bandage on for 2-4 hours. After removing, gently wash with fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry — do not rub.
DAYS 1–14
- Apply a thin layer of unscented lotion 2-3x daily
- Avoid submerging in water (pools, ocean, baths)
- Keep out of direct sunlight
- Do not scratch or pick at peeling skin
LONG-TERM CARE
Always apply SPF 30+ sunscreen over healed tattoos when exposed to sun. This preserves color and line quality for years.
