After getting your tattoo, keep the bandage on for at least 2-4 hours to protect it from bacteria and abrasions.

After removing the bandage, gently wash the tattooed area with lukewarm water and a mild, unscented soap. Pat it dry with a clean paper towel or let it air dry.

Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free, antibacterial ointment or specialized tattoo aftercare product recommended by your tattoo artist.

Repeat washing and applying ointment 2-3 times a day for the first two days.

Continue washing the tattooed area 2-3 times a day with a mild soap and warm water, ensuring to gently remove any crust or excess ointment.

Switch to using a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer instead of ointment to keep the tattooed skin hydrated.

Avoid picking, scratching, or rubbing the tattooed area as it heals to prevent scarring and ink loss.

Wear loose, breathable clothing to prevent irritation and allow airflow to the tattoo.

Continue washing the tattoo daily and moisturizing it regularly to keep the skin hydrated and promote healing.

Avoid exposing the tattoo to direct sunlight or tanning beds during the healing process to prevent fading and damage.

Refrain from swimming or soaking in hot tubs until the tattoo is fully healed to prevent infections.

If any signs of infection (such as excessive redness, swelling, pus, or warmth) develop, contact your tattoo artist or a healthcare professional immediately.

Once the tattoo is fully healed, continue to protect it from prolonged sun exposure by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF.

Moisturize the tattoo regularly to keep the skin healthy and maintain the vibrancy of the ink

Enjoy your tattoo but remember to take care of it to ensure it looks its best for years to come.
