Tattoo Aftercare

First 24 hours:
Keep the cling film wrap on for an approx. 1-2 hours.
Remove the film and and gently wash your new tattoo with water to remove ink/residue. A gentle/fragrance-free antibacterial soap can be used.
Dab dry with a clean cloth and leave to dry out before adding a thin layer of cream.
Your skin may feel hot/swollen - try to rest the area if possible. This is your body starting to heal.
Wash again the following day, once dry, with clean hands you can begin to apply a thin layer of cream.
A natural / gentle fragrance-free moisturiser can be used
Next 14 days:
Clean your new tattoo daily and apply cream once/twice a day. Apply a thin layer with clean hands.
Your new tattoo is an open wound, once it starts to heal and seal itself, scabs will begin to form. This will usually happen over a 2 week period.
The cream will aid in adding moisture and reduce itchy feeling.
