After Care

TATTOO AFTER CARE

After care starts as soon as the tattoo is done.

Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the tattoo or while applying the cream. 

First Day

• After two hours, remove the cling wrap (once reached home or hotel).
• Gently wash the Tattoo with the foam of the mild soap or mild hand wash to clean plasma that comes out from tattoo.
• Do not apply any soap or antiseptic liquids to the Tattoo directly.
• Let dry for 20 minutes.
• When tattoo is completely dry, apply cream/ointment.
• We recommend Dr. Special Calendula, Neosporin or Tat Wax.

Next Day/ Everyday

• Do not wrap the Tattoo in any ways.
• Apply cream/ointment two times a day.
• Apply a thin layer of the cream. (Putting on too thick of a layer, wouldn’t allow your skin to breathe).
• Apply the recommended cream for two weeks and then apply body moisturizer until healed.
• For the first few days after you get tattooed, your skin maybe be itchy and sore. This is normal.
• Avoid stressing the Tattoo while physical workouts.
• Do not wash the tattoo.
• Do not touch the tattoo.
• Do not wear tight clothing over the tattoo.
• Do not apply any oil, Vaseline or other products (causes rashes and to fade).
• Do not enter in sea or pool water (one can take a shower everyday)
• Avoid direct sunlight.
• Do not scratch the Tattoo or peel the dead skin of the Tattoo (leads to fading of the Tattoo).
• If touch up required, it will be chargeable as per the size.
• A tattoo that isn’t properly cared for, can get infected. Infected skin will be red, warm, and painful. It may leak pus.
• In case of infection, apply SOFRAMYCIN cream.
• If worsens, contact your doctor.

Note: We do not take any responsibility, if the above instructions are not followed.
