Tattoo Aftercare

​Please follow these guidelines for the best results

​Right after your appointment, leave the bandage on for 2–3 hours after your session (unless otherwise directed by your artist).​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​Step-by-Step Care​

1. Wash Gently

​

Remove the bandage and wash your tattoo immediately using clean hands and warm soapy water. We recommend using a fragrance-free, dye-free antimicrobial soap. Gently remove all plasma, ink, and blood without scrubbing. Let warm water run over the area for 5–10 minutes, then finish with a cold rinse to help close your pores.​

 

2. Dry Carefully

​

Let your tattoo air dry or gently blot with a clean paper towel. Avoid using regular towels, as they can carry bacteria.​

 

3. Apply Aftercare Product

​

Once dry, apply a very thin layer of the aftercare product recommended by your artist. Reapply throughout the day as needed, always with clean hands.​

 

4. Continue Daily Care

​

Wash your tattoo 2–3 times per day and reapply aftercare product each time. Healing times vary depending on placement, skin type, and size of the tattoo.

Avoid the Following:​​​

  • ​Soaking your tattoo (no baths, hot tubs, or swimming)

  • Sun exposure directly on tattoo

  • Tight or irritating clothing over the area

  • Touching it with unwashed hands

  • Picking or scratching at scabs

  • Re-bandaging (unless directed by your artist)​

Every tattoo—and every person—heals a little differently. If you have questions or concerns at any point, don’t hesitate to reach out or stop by the shop.
