The First Day

Your tattoo is like an open wound right after the session. Keep the wrap on for a few hours, then gently wash with fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water.

Pat dry - never rub.

Let it breathe, and avoid re-wrapping unless your artist says otherwise.

First Week

Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer 2-3 times daily. Don't scratch or pick at scabs - this can cause fading or scarring. Avoid swimming, soaking in tubs, and keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight.

Long-Term Care

Even when it looks healed, the deeper layer of your skin are still recovering. Keep moisturizing, and always use sunscreen to protect your ink from fading. 

Healthy Skin = a beautiful tattoo for years to come.

Touch up & Retouch

Even with proper aftercare, slight fading or uneven spots can happen as your skin heals - that's completely normal.

A one-time free touch-up is offered within 3 months of your appointment for minor fixes. Please wait at least 4 weeks before booking, so the skin can fully heal. After the free period or for larger revisions, a small fee may apply. Healthy skin means lasting, beautiful tattos!
