Tattoo Aftercare

Please follow these steps to ensure your tattoo heals as best as it can, how you look after it will determine the quality of healing, once you leave the studio, it’s up to you to make sure your tattoo heals well.

Every artist follows a different aftercare process. Regardless of the process chosen, it is important to keep in mind that a tattoo is an open wound and need to be taken care properly to avoid infection.


The average healing process takes between 10-30 days. The surface skin should be partially healed after 7 days. 

DAY 1 you will notice blood, plasma, and ink oozing from your tattoo. The tattoo may also feel warmth and/or swelling. Don’t worry, it’s all good. Make sure you keep your tattoo clean, washing it with fragrance-free soap after a few hours of getting it done. After washing it, wrap it again with cling film. 


DAY 2-3 you’ll have to wash your tattoo 2-3 times a day, using a moisturizer that is alcohol and fragrance free (at this point you probably have one of our aftercare creams, if not we recommend using either shea or cocoa butter). After washing it and moisturizing it, wrap the tattoo again on cling film.


DAY 4-6 the redness should fade, and some scabbing should occur (keep you hands away from them!). Remember to keep washing and moisturizing your tattoo. No need to wrap it up by now.


DAY 7 onwards the scabs should start falling, the tattoo is probably feeling itchy - it is normal, do not scratch it. Make sure you keep your tattoo moisturized till the tattoo is finally fully healed.

 

Important!

  • Do not submerge your tattoo in water (swimming pool, baths, sea) for at least 1 week. 2 weeks for the sea. 
  • Avoid direct sunlight or sunbed for the full healing process since this could cause damage to your skin and fade your tattoo.

For any other questions regarding your aftercare process please do not hesitate contacting us.

 

Piercing Aftercare

Sterile saline products such as Stericlens are recommended for healing.

  • WASH your hands thoroughly prior to cleaning or touching your piercing for any reason.
  • SOAK for five to ten minutes TWICE per day. Invert a cup of warm saline solution over the area to form a vacuum. For certain piercings it may be easier to apply
    using clean gauze or cotton buds saturated with the solution. A brief rinse afterward will remove any residue.
  • DRY by gently patting with clean, disposable paper products. Cloth towels can harbor bacteria.
  • Initially: some bleeding, localized swelling, tenderness, or bruising.
  • During healing: some discoloration, itching, secretion of a whitish-yellow fluid (not pus) that will form some crust on the jewelry.
  • Once healed: the jewelry may not move freely in the piercing; do not force it. If you fail to include cleaning your piercing as part of your daily hygiene routine, normal but smelly bodily secretions may accumulate.
  • A piercing may seem healed before the healing process is complete. This is because tissue heals from the outside in, and although it feels fine, the interior remains fragile. Be patient, and keep cleaning throughout the entire healing period.
  • Even healed piercings can shrink or close in minutes after having been there for years! This varies from person to person.
  • Cleaning with Bactine, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, Detol or other harsh soaps, as these can damage cells. Also avoid ointments as they prevent necessary air circulation.
  • Over-cleaning. This can delay your healing and irritate your piercing.
  • Undue trauma such as friction from clothing, excessive motion of the area, playing with the jewelry, and vigorous cleaning. These activities can cause the formation of unsightly and uncomfortable scar tissue, migration, prolonged healing, and other complications.
  • All oral contact, rough play, and contact with others' bodily fluids on or near your piercing during healing.
  • Submerging the piercing in unhygenic water such as lakes, pools, hot tubs, etc. Or,use a waterproof wound-sealant bandage.
  • Unless there is a problem with the size, style, or material of the initial jewelry, leave it in place for the entire healing period. See a qualified piercer to perform any jewelry change that becomes necessary during healing.
  • Unless there is a problem with the size, style, or material of the initial jewelry, leave it in the place for the entire healing period. See a qualified piercer to perform any jewelry change that becomes necessary during healing.
  • With clean hands or paper product, be sure to regularly check threaded ends on your jewelry for tightness. ("Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.")
  • Maintain cleanliness of telephones, headphones, eyeglasses, helmets, hats, and anything that contacts the pierced area.
  • During healing, it is not necessary to rotate your jewelry.
  • The healthier your lifestyle, the easier it will be for your piercing to heal.
