Tattoo Aftercare Guide
Immediate Aftercare (First 7 Days)
During the first week, your tattoo is an open wound and needs extra care. Keep the bandage on as advised by your artist. Gently wash the area with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry and apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare ointment. Avoid scratching, soaking in water, swimming, or direct sunlight. Wear loose clothing and keep the area clean and dry at all times.

Long-Term Care & Healing (After 7 Days)
Once the tattoo begins to heal, continue moisturizing regularly to prevent dryness and fading. Avoid excessive sun exposure and always apply sunscreen after healing is complete. Do not pick or peel the skin, as this can damage the tattoo. Maintain healthy skin through hydration and proper care to ensure your tattoo remains sharp and vibrant over time.
