Every artist will tell you something slighty different when it comes to aftercare, but all of them will follow a very similar procedure.

Use this as a basic guideline.

​

What you need:

• Sensitive or unperfumed soap

• A clean towl you don't like anymore

• Aftercare butter

​

> NORMAL METHOD

• Wash your hands to start.

• Rub your hands with soapy water and wash the tattoo. Rinse with clean water. Once the excess plasma has been removed, pat dry with a towel.

• Once dry, apply a thin layer of aftercare cream to the tattoo. The best way to do this is to apply the cream above the tattoo and slide it down, keep to a downward motion as not to push any cream into your hair follicules. Any excess cream that is left just spread to other areas of your body. Repeat this two-three times a day.

• Once the bleeding stops, to prevent the tattoo from drying apply additional thin layers until the area is completely healed. This may vary depending on your skin between 3-5 times a day.

• Only apply cling film for the first evening, after that keep it exposed as much as possible. Some areas will be difficult to leave exposed, therefore loose cotton clothing is advised.

​

> WITH PROTECTIVE TATTOO FILM ie Dermalizer, ect (NOT CLING FILM)

• Leave the film on your skin for as long as possible or until the dressing falls away (5 days at max).

• To take off the film off, soak the area in water and take it off starting from the top corner.

• Make sure any residue from the film is left, try to be gentle as possible.

• Once taken off, follow normal method.

​​

• take off the film if:

1. It slides straight off​

2. It is so full of plasma it's bursting

3. Any rashes or spots appear

4. If the film peels up with the tattoo showing

Other things to note

​

• Do not soak your new tattoo in water. If the tattoo cannot be left out of the bath water then short showers are reccomended

• Keep pets away from the tattooed area, be careful of shedded hair.

• Do not keep cling film for a long period of time (as above).

• Avoid abrasive clothing, soft loose cotton clothing is advised, as to avoid trauma to the area.

• Avoid physical activities such as swimming or going to the gym until healed.

• Tattoos can take 2-3 weeks to heal, and 6 months to completely settle.

• Aftercare cream should be from a new container each time.

• When going on holiday, sunscreen of at least factor 50 should be applied to protect the tattoo.
