AFTERCARE

  • Leave clingfilm on for 3 - 4 hours or until you get home.

  • Wash your hands thoroughly and remove the clingfilm.

  • Lightly wash away any blood or residue with warm water and a clean wash cloth.

  • Once clean, gently pat the tattoo dry.

  • Apply a thin layer of either Ink Doctor Tattoo Butter or Bepanthen. (A little goes a long way so be very sparing!)

  • Wrap up your tattoo with cling film. We advise wrapping your tattoo up in clingfilm before going to bed for the

  • first couple of nights.

 

Repeat this 2/3 times a day for approximately one week. As long as you are within a pet free, clean environment you can leave the clingfilm off to allow your tattoo to breath. It will roughly take a month for your tattoo to heal.

THINGS TO AVOID

  • Submerging in water.

  • Sun exposure.

  • Itching and scratching.

  • Pet/animal hair.

  • Wearing tight or restrictive clothing.

  • letting anyone touch your tattoo.

  • Contact with a none sterile surface.

  • Doing anything that will cause you to sweat such as saunas, going to the gym or heavy lifting.

Once healed make sure to use sunscreen and hydrate your skin regularly to ensure the longevity and vibrancy of your tattoo
