You'll get these instructions in person too — save this for reference during healing.
Keep the original bandage on for as long as advised (usually a few hours), then gently wash with clean hands and mild, unscented soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel — don't rub.
Wash gently 2–3 times a day, then apply a thin layer of a fragrance-free healing ointment or lotion. Too much product traps moisture and slows healing — a light layer is enough.
No swimming, soaking (baths, pools, the sea), or direct sun on the tattoo until fully healed. Avoid tight clothing rubbing on it, and resist picking at scabs or peeling skin — let it flake off naturally.
Some redness, tenderness, and light scabbing is completely normal for the first week or two. If you notice spreading redness, warmth, swelling, or pus, message us on WhatsApp straight away.
