First 24 hours:

• Keep your tattoo wrapped for 2-6 hours.

• Take off cling wrap.

• Wash thoroughly in the shower using warm soapy water with your hands. Don’t use a flannel or cloth.

• Pat dry with paper towel. No fabric towel.

• Apply a thin layer of aftercare cream to your tattoo and wear loose, clean clothing.

For the next two weeks:

• Wash tattoo once a day.

• Lightly moisturise with aftercare cream 2-3 times a day with clean hands until no longer dry or flaky. 

• Wash everyday with hot soapy water until no longer dry or flaky. 

Important:

Make sure to really only use a thin layer of aftercare cream. Tattoos need to be able to breathe and too much cream can cause irritation. Use aftercare cream specifically made for tattoos. Do not use Bepanthen/ Pawpaw/ Vaseline/ Coconut Oil.
