Tattoo Aftercare

Tattoo aftercare shouldn’t be daunting, the real trick is to keep it simple!

Don’t overthink it, keep your tattoo clean. When you clean it, make sure you have clean hands. Don’t pick it when scabs/flaking starts to form. Leave your clingfilm on for upto 3 hours, clean with anti-bacterial soap. Nothing too heavily fragranced.

Depending on the complexity or saturation of your tattoo I may give you slightly differing aftercare instructions. The most important factor is to not over-do the cream, the last thing you want is to suffocate the tattoo or hold germs in.

Remember for around 2 weeks:-

• Don’t submerge in baths/swimming (this doesn’t mean don’t clean it)

• Clean 2/3 times a day

• Apply a thin layer of cream/moisturiser 2/3 times a day

• Don’t get it dirty, I also appreciate this isn’t always an option for work etc, so I’d recommend keeping it covered with clothing if needed.

I’m always available to chat aftercare or if you have any concerns at all, feel free to reach out to me!

There is no such thing as a stupid question
