Tattoo AFTERCARE

📌 Why Aftercare Matters

A tattoo is a form of controlled skin trauma. How you care for it after the session directly affects how it heals and looks long-term. Proper aftercare helps prevent:

• Infection

• Scarring

• Uneven healing or color loss

• Blurry or patchy ink

To preserve the quality of your tattoo and protect your health, please follow the instructions below closely.

Your tattoo will be covered with a protective second skin. Here’s how to take care of it:

1. Take off the second skin in the shower after the instructed time.

2. If glue residue remains:

• Apply coconut oil (or any body oil) for 15–30 minutes.

• Gently wipe off with a paper towel.

3. Wash the tattoo with warm water and mild soap.

4. Apply a fragrance-free moisturizing lotion (Recommended: CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion).

• Do NOT use oils or petroleum-based products.

5. Moisturize the tattoo 3–4 times a day for 2 weeks.

⚠️ Important Reminders:

• While wearing the second skin:

• No workouts, no physical labor.

• Avoid sweating and touching the tattooed area.

• Avoid direct sunlight on the tattoo.

• After the second skin is removed, always use SPF 60+ when the tattoo is exposed to sunlight.
