Aftercare

Good tattoos deserve good healing.
Taking care of your tattoo is part of the process.

Healing is just as important as the tattoo itself.

Before you leave the studio, we'll explain how to care for your tattoo and answer any questions you may have.

In general:

  • Keep the tattoo clean.
  • Follow the aftercare instructions we provide.
  • Avoid swimming until the tattoo has healed.
  • Avoid direct sunlight during the healing period.
  • Do not pick or scratch the skin.

Healing times vary from person to person. If you have any concerns during healing, please contact us.

If you're travelling after your appointment, let us know your schedule in advance. We'll provide aftercare advice that fits your trip whenever possible.
