Aftercare

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE YOUR DRESSING FOR TWO HOURS.

This will ensure your tattoo will settle down. Before you remove your dressing soak in warm clean water. Once completely soaked, remove your dressing slowly as it may stick a little. This is normal. Once the dressing is totally removed, using soap and water only lathered in your hands, give your new tattoo a wash. Do this gently! Once you have removed all the excess matter, dab dry with clean kitchen roll or a clean towel. Never touch your new tattoo with unwashed hands or let anyone else touch it with unwashed hands. You will run a risk of infection if you do!

Day 1:

Remove dressing by soaking first with warm soapy water, dab dry, do not
re-cover. That evening wash again 1 hour before going to bed. Do not apply any cream at all.

Day 2:

Wash as instructed in morning, then afternoon, then evening again 1 hour before going to bed, Do not apply any cream.

Day 3:

Wash as instructed in morning, then afternoon. If your tattoo feels as if it is too dry or has a pulling sensation then apply only the recommended cream (Bepanthen or Preparation H) and only in small amounts. Do not swamp your tattoo, only enough to absorb!

Day 4:

Repeat as in Day 3 and continue untill all the light scabbing has gone.
