Tattoo Aftercare instructions:

Keep your tattoo covered for 4 hours or overnight. A transparent/surgical-style bandage may stay in place 2–3 days. Sensitivity can happen, so listen to your body — remove the bandage sooner if there's any redness, heat, or irritation. ✨ Remove the bandage if there's too much fluid under it. ✨ Alternative bandage material is available on request.

Plan to remove your bandage during or just before a shower. Rinse and wash your freshly unwrapped tattoo with warm water, washing away all plasma, slime, or shine from the surface. Let your skin air dry fully — no cream or ointment for the first 3–5 days. ✨ Dry healing is preferred. There is no miracle cream. ✨

Days 4–10 may show flakiness as new skin cells regrow. Days 4–28, skin may look waxy and the art may appear slightly distorted while healing. In the best of health, skin cells take 6 weeks to fully heal.

Please don't scratch your healing tattoo — it will most likely itch while new skin cells grow. DO run water over it and shower any time; this soothes the itch. ✨ BACTINE spray, or unscewnted lotion can be applied on clean skin to ease irritation during healing. ✨

Keep public surfaces, pets, towels, socks, dirty bedding, and children away from your new tattoo. If you suspect contamination, wash the skin right away and let it air dry.

Do not swim or apply sunscreen for 2–3 weeks, or until the skin is intact/unbroken. Do not touch or handle your tattoo any more than necessary. DO NOT listen to your friends.
