Aftercare
Tattoo Aftercare Guide
A beautiful tattoo deserves a beautiful heal. Follow these simple steps before and after your session — your future self will thank you.
Before Your Session
- Get a good night's sleep and eat a proper meal beforehand.
- Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours.
- Moisturize the area in the days before — and arrive without sunburn.
The First 48 Hours
- Keep the bandage or second skin on for as long as your artist advises.
- Wash gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap.
- Pat dry with a clean towel — never rub — and let the skin breathe.
The First Two Weeks
- Apply a thin layer of the recommended aftercare cream 2–3 times a day.
- Do not scratch, pick or peel — light itching is part of healing.
- Wear loose, clean clothing over the tattoo.
What To Avoid
- No sun, solarium or swimming — sea, pool or hammam — for 2–3 weeks.
- Avoid intense workouts that stretch or heavily sweat the area.
- Never shave the area until it is fully healed.
Long-Term Care
- Always protect your tattoo with SPF 50+ in the sun.
- Moisturize regularly — hydrated skin keeps fine lines crisp.
- A healed tattoo is forever. Treat it like the art it is.
