Care Guide
Tattoo Aftercare
A tattoo is a healing wound for the first two weeks. How you care for it in that window decides how it will look for the rest of your life. Follow these steps carefully.
02
Day 2 – Day 7
Wash the tattoo 2–3 times a day and apply a thin layer of a fragrance-free healing balm or unscented lotion. Avoid over-moisturizing — the skin should breathe. Do not scratch, pick or peel any flaking.
03
Day 7 – Day 14
The tattoo will flake and itch as it heals. Keep moisturizing lightly. Avoid sun exposure, swimming pools, saunas, hot tubs, and intense workouts that cause heavy sweating on the area.
04
Long-term care
Once fully healed (4–6 weeks), always protect your tattoo with SPF 30+ sunscreen when exposed to the sun. Keep your skin hydrated to preserve the ink and detail for life.
