The Journey
Longevity is a shared responsibility. The ritual of aftercare is as vital as the tattooing itself. Follow these instructions precisely to ensure the integrity of your piece.
Phase 1: The Initial Hours
- Leave your bandage on for the time specified by your artist (typically 2-4 hours).
- Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your new tattoo.
- Gently wash with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Phase 2: The First 14 Days
- Apply a very thin layer of recommended ointment 2-3 times daily. Do not over-saturate.
- Avoid direct sunlight, swimming, saunas, and intense exercise.
- Do not pick or scratch. Let any peeling happen naturally.
Forbidden Actions
- No tight clothing over the area
- No petroleum-based products
- No prolonged soaking in water
- No chemical sunscreens until healed
