Caring for your new tattoo

At the end of your session, your new tattoo will be wrapped in plastic wrap, keep this dressing on for one hour.

After one hour, you can take the wrapping off and wash the tattoo gently with soap and lukewarm water.

On the day after your tattoo appointment, apply a small amount of cream to the area (we recommend Vitamin E cream). Keep applying cream to the area 3 - 4 times a day while your tattoo is healing.

Tattoos can take between 2 - 4 weeks to heal completely and some parts of the tattoo may take longer to heal than others. During healing time, the tattoo may become itchy. If this happens gently rub the area and do not use your nails to scratch it.

While your tattoo is healing, please remember:

• Do not scratch or pick at it

• Don’t go swimming or immerse it in water (quick showers are fine!)

• Keep it out of direct sun exposure

• Don’t use sunscreen on the area until it’s fully healed

If you have any concerns, let us know or speak to your doctor.
