Tattoo Aftercare: The Essentials
Simple steps for giving your new tattoo the best start.
The first 48 hours
Keep the wrap on for as long as your artist advises, then wash gently with clean hands and fragrance-free soap. Pat dry — never rub.
The next two weeks
Moisturise lightly, avoid soaking, and stay out of direct sun. Peeling and itching are normal. Picking is not.
For the long run
Sunscreen is the single best thing you can do to keep a healed tattoo looking sharp.
