Relax, we've got you covered!
Welcome to your guide to aftercare! We understand that getting a new tattoo is exciting, and taking care of it properly is crucial for its longevity and vibrancy. This guide is here to assist you every step of the way. Remember, we're just a call away if you have any questions!
Wash Frequently
Wash your tattoo at minimum 3 times a day with a fragrance free antibacterial soap (Such as dial). Do NOT wash your tattoo with any rags or loofas. Use your hand to gently apply your cleanser onto your new tattoo to clean.
Stay Hydrated
Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial! Use an appropriate tattoo aftercare balm regularly to keep your skin moisturized and promote healing. We recommend a light layer of Aquaphor for the first day or two, and then switch to an unscented lotion such as lubriderm, or tattoo ointment like, Hustle butter.
Avoid Submerging
Avoid submerging your tattoo in bodies of water such as baths, pools, oceans, hot tubs etc. for at least 2-3 weeks, or until fully healed. Submerging can increase the risk of infection and damage the tattoo.
No Picking!
Do not pick at a scabbing tattoo. It's tempting, but picking can lead to scarring and ink loss. Let the scabs fall off naturally.
