Aftercare
General tips. Every skin heals differently, so the instructions of the person who tattooed you come first.
This is not medical advice. If anything worries you, for example growing pain, swelling, redness or a fever, contact a doctor.
Step by step
After the session
Take the dressing off when your artist tells you to. Wash the tattoo with lukewarm water and mild soap, then pat it dry with a clean paper towel.
While it heals
Wash the tattoo gently and apply a thin layer of the cream your artist recommends. Do not scratch it or pick at it. Avoid the sun, pools, saunas and baths.
Every day after
Once the skin has healed, protect the tattoo from the sun with sunscreen. Lines and shading stay crisp for longer.
