Tattoo Aftercare
Proper aftercare is essential for healing your tattoo and preserving its appearance.
02Moisturize gently
Apply a thin layer of a suitable aftercare cream, such as La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5. Do not apply too much product.
03Avoid friction and sunlight
Wear clean, loose clothing. Avoid direct sunlight, swimming pools, saunas, and soaking the tattoo until it has healed.
04Do not scratch or pick
Peeling and mild itching can be part of the healing process. Do not scratch, rub, or remove scabs.
05Watch for signs of infection
If redness spreads or worsens, or you notice increasing pain, warmth, swelling, pus, or fever, seek medical advice. Do not apply antibiotic creams such as Baneocin unless recommended by a healthcare professional.
Important
Healing time varies from person to person. If you are unsure whether your tattoo is healing normally, contact your tattoo artist or a healthcare professional.
