Tattoo Aftercare
Step 1
Follow the wrapping instructions given by your artist.
Step 2
Gently clean the tattoo using clean water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser as advised by your artist. Don't scrub. Pat dry gently with a clean paper towel or let it air dry.
Step 3
Apply the recommended aftercare product in a thin layer according to your artist's instructions.
Healing times can vary depending on the tattoo and your skin. If something looks unusual or you have concerns about healing, contact your tattoo artist or a medical professional.
