02

First 24 Hours

  • Remove bandage after 2–3 hours

Days 2–7

  • Wash 2–3 times daily with unscented soap
  • Apply aftercare balm after each wash
  • Avoid tight clothing over the tattoo
  • No swimming, baths, or saunas

Weeks 2–4

  • Continue moisturising with lotion or aftercare balm
  • Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen if going outside

  • Tattoo may still feel slightly tender — this is normal
Important

If you experience excessive redness, swelling, warmth, or any discharge lasting more than a few days — or any signs of infection — contact a healthcare professional immediately. Do not wait.
