Aftercare & FAQ

Taking care of your tattoo is just as important as getting it done.

Tattoo Aftercare Tips – How to Keep Your Tattoo Looking Fresh and Heal Properly

Proper aftercare is crucial for keeping your tattoo vibrant and preventing infections. Here’s what you should talk about:

1. The First 24-48 Hours: Critical Healing Time

Leave the bandage on for the recommended time (usually 2-6 hours, or as instructed by your artist).
Wash your hands before touching your tattoo.
Gently wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap.
Pat dry with a clean paper towel—don’t rub!
Apply a thin layer of recommended ointment (like Aquaphor or a tattoo-specific balm).

2. The First Week: Avoid Infection and Over-Moisturizing

Wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day with mild soap.
Switch to a fragrance-free, alcohol-free lotion to keep it hydrated.
Avoid heavy creams or petroleum-based products that can clog pores.
Don’t pick, scratch, or peel scabs—let them fall off naturally.

3. Avoid These During Healing:

Soaking (No swimming, hot tubs, or baths—showers only).
Sun Exposure (Keep it covered or use SPF once healed).
Tight Clothing (Friction can irritate and fade fresh ink).
Excessive Sweating (Avoid heavy workouts that make you sweat a lot).

4. The Peeling Phase: Itching and Flaking is Normal

The tattoo will start to peel like a sunburn—this is normal.
Don’t pick at it! Use a thin layer of lotion to ease the dryness.
It may appear dull or cloudy; this is part of the healing process.

5. Long-Term Tattoo Care: Keep It Looking Fresh

Keep your tattoo moisturized even after it heals.
Use sunscreen (SPF 30+), as UV rays can fade tattoos.
Stay hydrated and maintain healthy skin to preserve tattoo vibrancy.

6. When to See a Doctor

Signs of infection: excessive redness, swelling, pus, or a fever.
If your tattoo doesn’t seem to be healing after a few weeks.
