Tattoo Aftercare

Leave dressing on for at least 1 hour. Do not leave on for more than 5 hours. There is no need to cover the tattoo again.

When you remove the dressing wash the tattoo straight away with warm
soapy water and rinse well. Dry by patting softly with a clean towel.

Apply a cream up to three or four times daily while the tattoo is healing. Creams such as Bepanthan or Preperation H are suitable creams. Apply the cream sparingly and up to four times a day when tattoo is healing.

Do not pick it, Do not scratch it, Do not expose to chemicals,Do not expose to sunlight, Do not immerse it in water (especially swimming pools and communal baths). A quick shower is fine and by far the easiest way to clean it.

Be gentle with a new tattoo at all times and avoid exposing it to damage from aggressive exercise or pursuits.

If you have been tattooed some where that clothes rub against, i.e. waist, foot, etc, then you must wear suitable clothing that will not aggravate the tattoo when healing.

Tattoos take 5-7 days to heal depending on the person and their size. Some may heal in up to 3 days others can take a few weeks.
