Looking after a new tattoo is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Just follow these simple steps:

​

1. Wash and rinse - The evening of getting tattooed, in the shower with antibac hand soap and clean hands. Rinse with clean water.

​

2. Dry - As soon as possible after rinsing using clean kitchen roll to PAT the tattoo dry, NOT RUB.

​

3. Replace dressing - Where necessary, without applying any creams of any sort, and immediately after drying, re cover with the advised dressing as discussed with your artist.

​

*Please be careful and use common sense. Avoid swimming and sun exposure during the healing process.

**Only cream your tattoo when it has fully dried out. Try and use an unscented simple body moisturiser, the amount and frequency will vary depending on your skin type and the tattoo type. Remember the cream isn't as important as keeping the tattoo clean, dry and covered while in the weeping phase
