☆Tattoo Aftercare ☆
Tattoo aftercare is the most important step in the tattoo healing process! Listed down below is how I recommend my clients take care of their fresh tattoos. Please keep in mind that everyones skin heals differently, so if you have any additional questions on aftercare, please feel free to reach out to me!
General aftercare steps:
First day:
☆Keep saran wrap on for only a couple hours, remove and clean the tattoo area with ANTI-BACTERIAL soap, rinse with luke warm water, pat dry with a paper towel or clean towel. Skip the moisturizing step for the next day
Second day till the second week:
☆Clean your tattoo 1-2 times a day same process as the first day
☆Anti-bacterial soap, rinse with luke warm water, pat dry with towel , moisturize your tattoo with a thin layer of fragrance free lotion
Second week:
☆Minimize aftercare to once a day instead of twice a day
-Once the tattoo is fully healed (can take up to 2-3 weeks) keep your tattoo moisturized and wear SPF whenever exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time
