Follow your artist’s instructions for removing any protective covering. Wash your hands before touching the area and gently clean as directed.
Cleanse carefully and use only the aftercare product recommended by your professional. Pat dry with a clean towel rather than rubbing.
Choose loose, clean clothing and avoid unnecessary friction. Don’t pick or scratch while the skin settles.
Until healed, avoid soaking, swimming, direct sun, and activities your artist advises against. Resume your normal routine gradually.
Healing varies from person to person. If you’re worried about a reaction or infection, contact a healthcare professional promptly.
Once healed, protect tattooed skin from sun exposure with appropriate sunscreen and keep the skin moisturized.
Placement, size, technique, and your own skin all affect healing. General advice can’t replace the direct instructions you receive from a qualified professional.
