It is essential that you take proper care of your tattoo while it is healing! Your tattoo should heal within 3-7 days if you follow these instructions. You WANT your tattoo to heal in 3-7 days !

• When your tattoo session is complete we place a dressing on, which must be kept on for at least 2 hours. It will bleed under the dressing, do not worry- this is normal.
• Always wash your hands before handling and washing your fresh tattoo.
• When you remove the dressing, wash your fresh tattoo well with your hand, soap and warm water, then rinse with cold water and pat dry with a clean towel or tissue.
• You must NEVER rub, wipe, soak, pick, scratch and touch your tattoo while it is healing.
• The ONLY creams we recommend are Bepanthan (for nappy rash) and Skin Food (moisturiser). These creams ensure fast healing and prevent thick scabs from forming.
• Apply a small (very thin layer) amount of cream to your fresh tattoo 4-8 times a day.
• We recommend washing the tattoo before each application if possible.
• Never apply a thick layer of cream.
• Do NOT go swimming or soak in the bath until your tattoo is completely healed.
• Do NOT allow your fresh tattoo in the sun for at least 3 weeks, and thereafter apply sun block EVERY time you are in the sun for 30 minutes or more.
