Follow these steps to ensure your tattoo heals beautifully. Proper aftercare in the first two weeks makes all the difference.
Healing steps
Keep the second skin on for 4 days. Remove it immediately if it causes any irritation to the skin.
Remove under running water. Be gentle — stretch it to detach rather than ripping it off aggressively.
Wash the area thoroughly to eliminate any ink, blood, plasma, or adhesive. Pat dry with a paper towel — avoid using a bath towel.
Apply a thin layer of aftercare ointment to the tattoo using clean fingers.
For the next two weeks, wash daily with water, pat dry with a paper towel, and moisturise the area.
Things to avoid
Picking, peeling, or scratching the tattoo
Sweating excessively
Immersion in water — no swimming, hot tubs, lakes, etc. Plan vacations accordingly
Sun exposure on the tattooed area
