Tattoo Aftercare

AFTERCARE

Please follow all these instructions to ensure your tattoo hls well!

The care film protects the affected area from dirt and scratches while allowing the skin to heal naturally within the film.

It is ideal to leave it on for 3-5 days - Dark liquid may accumulate between the skin and the film.

This is normal during the healing process.

Try to avoid peeling the film off prematurely - however if the bandage is coming off or the skin is irritated, it’s ok to remove the bandage sooner rather than later.

Fluid may leak from the film so try to wear clothes that are acceptable to get dirty.

If you have a reaction to the film such as excessive itchiness or spots or a rash develop, please gently remove the film and discontinue use. Clean the affected area gently with warm water and anti-bacterial soap and dry gently.
It is okay to take a shower but avoid public baths, pools, lakes, rivers, streams, etc.

① In a warm shower slowly and gently remove the film from the skin. Gently rinse away any liquid that has accumulated.

② The skin is very delicate, so please wash it gently with anti-bacterial soap and rinse thoroughly - do not scrub with washcloths or towels!

③ Allow to air dry or dab gently with a clean towel after bathing.

Repeat this gentle washing regime for the next week:

Always try to keep the area clean.
Apply a few drops of A&D ointment to moisturize.
Do not use anti-inflammatory drugs such as Oronine!
If bleeding causes clothing to stick to the affected area, moisten a towel with warm water and apply it lightly. Pour the shower over your clothes to soften them. Pull back the clothing gently and do not remove it by force.

Thin scabs and flakey skin may form in 5-6 days
It takes about 3 to 6 weeks for the tattoo to completely heal
Since the scabs will come off naturally, do not forcefully remove or scratch them!

Once the tattoo has settled down,

you can begin planning your next one!
