Aftercare
Your tattoo is a wound, a ritual, and a story. Treat it with respect. Here’s how to protect the art and heal with precision.
Day 1–3: Initial Healing
- Leave the bandage on for 2–4 hours post-session.
- Wash gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap.
- Pat dry with clean towel—no rubbing.
- Apply thin layer of healing ointment (studio-recommended only).
Day 4–14: Ritual Care
- Wash once daily, moisturize twice daily.
- Do not scratch, pick, or peel scabs.
- Avoid swimming, sun exposure, and tight clothing.
- Let the skin breathe—loose, clean fabrics only.
Long-Term Respect
- Use SPF 50+ on healed tattoos to prevent fading.
- Hydrate your skin—your ink lives in it.
- Book touch-ups if needed—art deserves upkeep.
