Once your tattoo session is finished your tattoo will be covered with either cling film or Second Skin

Cling film-

If you have cling film, please leave it on for 3-4 hours. After you remove it, wash your tattoo in warm water with anti-bacterial soap then air dry for 20 mins.

Wash your hands then apply a thin layer of aftercare product

Re-wrap for the first night only. In the morning, wash with anti-bacterial soap, air dry or pat dry with kitchen roll, then apply the aftercare.

Don't let the tattoo dry out, apply aftercare 3-4 times a day with clean hands.

Second Skin film-

If you have second skin on your tattoo, leave it on for 4-5 days, avoid getting it wet as it can loosen the film, if it starts peeling off early and risks trapping dirt against the tattoo, remove the film.

To remove second skin film, it's easiest to do this in the shower. Get the film wet and soapy and slowly peel it of rubbing soap and water to aid the process. Once the film is off, wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap and warm water, then air dry for 20 mins.

Don't let the tattoo dry out, apply aftercare 3-4 times a day with clean hands.

General Aftercare:

Do not go swimming, do not use hot tubs, or submerge your tattoo in a bath for 14 days. This is to avoid the risk of infection; your tattoo is an open wound.

Do not use the gym for 3 days after getting your tattoo.

Do not scratch or pick at your tattoo whilst it is healing no matter how itchy it gets, especially day 5, it's itchy on day 5.

After your tattoo has healed ALWAYS put Factor +50 when going out in direct sunlight. UV light fades all tattoos. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
