Tattoo Aftercare

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your tattoo heals beautifully and lasts a lifetime. Please follow these steps carefully

1. Wash Gently

Clean your tattoo 2–3 times a day with lukewarm water and antibacterial soap. Use your hands only—avoid washcloths or loofahs.

2. Dry & Moisturize

Pat the area dry with a clean paper towel, then apply a very thin layer of Aquaphor. Too much can suffocate the skin, so a light coat is enough.

3. Transition

Once your tattoo is done peeling, switch from Aquaphor to a fragrance-free lotion such as Lubriderm to keep the skin hydrated.

4. Healing Time

Complete healing typically takes about 4–5 weeks depending on your skin and tattoo size.
