AFTERCARE

Here's a few tips to help with the healing process.

​

• If cling film was used, remove it within 1-2 hours and give your new tattoo a wash with gentle soap. 

• Let your tattoo air dry (don't rub it with a towel as this could introduce bacteria).

• Start applying cream after about 24-48 hours. Your artist will give you the best advice on this when you leave. Thicker/blacker work should be left to dry for a little longer!

• Only use aftercare recommended to you by your artist. We recommend Palmers Cocoa Butter, Pure Coconut Oil, or the Butterluxe creams that we sell in the studio.

• Apply a really thin layer of aftercare two/three times a day for about 2 weeks.

• Keep your tattoo out of the sun and make sure you don't soak it for at least 2 weeks.

• Don't pick or scratch your new tattoo as this could remove the ink and stop your tattoo from healing perfectly.

• Contact your artist if you have any issues or questions when healing your new tattoo.
