AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

Keep the clingfilm on for 1 to 3 hours, but no longer.

Cleanse gently: After removing the bandage, wash your hands thoroughly with mild antibacterial soap and then cleanse the tattooed area with lukewarm water using your fingertips. Avoid scrubbing or using a washcloth.

Pat dry and air dry: After cleaning, gently pat the tattoo with a clean paper towel to dry it.

Apply a thin layer of ointment: For the next day, use a recommended tattoo aftercare ointment (like Bepathen or a specialized tattoo balm).

Apply a thin layer to keep the skin moisturized for at least two weeks.

Keep it clean: For the first few days, wash the tattoo gently twice a day with lukewarm water and mild soap. Always pat it dry and reapply the ointment after each wash.

Avoid picking or scratching: It's normal for your tattoo to itch during healing, but do not scratch or pick at it to prevent scarring and damage.

Wear loose and breathable clothing: Choose clothing that won’t rub against your tattoo, especially during the initial healing stage. Avoid tight or abrasive fabrics.

Protect from direct sunlight: Keep your tattoo away from prolonged sunlight exposure during healing. Once healed, always use sunscreen to prevent fading.

Avoid soaking in water: For the first two weeks, stay away from swimming pools, hot tubs, and baths etc.

Be patient: Tattoos take time to heal completely. It may take 2 to 4 weeks for full healing and colour settling.

Proper aftercare is crucial for the long-term vibrancy and appearance of your tattoo. Please follow these instructions to ensure successful healing.
