Aftercare For A New Tattoo

PADS

1. Leave the pad on for the night (if you’ll take a shower, you’ll have to change it).

 

2. Keep changing the pads 3 times a day for first three days.

In the morning, sometime in the middle of the day and before you go to sleep.

 

SECOND SKIN

 

1. You can leave the second skin on up to 2-3 days.

 

2. How to take it off?

Keep it under the water and very gently and very slowly just peel it off. 

Once you take the second skin off start normal tattoo aftercare (washing and creaming).

 

 

3. Wash your tattoo very well.

Wash your tattoo throughly but carefully using warm water and an unscented and alcohol-free soap to remove any excess of dried blood, ink and plasma.

 

4. Pat dry your tattoo after cleaning it.

Use a clean paper towel to dry your tattoo by gently patting the area. Do not rub.

 

5. Apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare cream.

After cleaning your tattoo, make sure the area is completely dry before applying a thin layer of the tattoo aftercare cream (you can eventually use Bepanthen) to help moisturise and nourish your tattoo.

 

6. Repeat the cleaning and creaming process until the tattoo is fully healed.

Remember that your tattoo isn’t completely safe from germs and bacteria until it has finished peeling. Continue washing and creaming until this point (usually 2-4 weeks).

 

7. Don’t pick and pull at the peeling skin.

Picking away at your healing tattoo can delay healing process, cause fading and increase the chances of infection.

 

8. Stay away from water.

Stick to short showers until your tattoo has fully healed, and don’t go swimming.

 

9. Stay away from the sun.

Don’t expose your fresh tattoo to intense sunlight and don’t apply any sunscreen to the area until it has fully healed.

 

10. Continue to look after your tattoo.

Once your tattoo is fully healed keep it well protected from the sun (use sunscreen) 

and make sure you continue to moisturise the array regularly. Healthy skin means 

a healthy-looking tattoo.
