🖤 Tattoo Aftercare Instructions

Day 1 – The First 24 Hours

• Leave the bandage or wrap on for the amount of time your artist recommends (usually a few hours, sometimes overnight if it’s Saniderm or another barrier film).
• Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your tattoo.
• Gently wash the tattoo with warm water and unscented soap. Pat dry with a clean towel or paper towel — don’t rub.
• Let your tattoo breathe or apply a thin layer of ointment (like Aquaphor or a tattoo-specific aftercare product) if directed.

Days 2–7 – The Healing Starts

• Wash your tattoo gently 1–2 times daily.
• Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion or aftercare ointment as needed to keep it from drying out.
• Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling your tattoo, even if it itches — this is normal!

Weeks 2–4 – Keep It Clean & Moisturized

• Your tattoo will start to flake and peel like a sunburn — this is normal.
• Continue moisturizing regularly.
• Avoid soaking the tattoo (no pools, hot tubs, baths) until fully healed.
• Keep it out of direct sun and don’t apply sunscreen until the skin is completely healed.

🚫 What to Avoid While Healing

• No direct sunlight
• No swimming or soaking
• No tight or dirty clothing over the tattoo
• No scratching or picking
