Aftercare Guide
How to care for my fresh new tattoo?
Please Note!
Please keep the protective film aka second skin on your skin for 2-3 days, or at least 6 hours.
Do not leave it on for more than 5 days.
It is normal if there is an ink spreading under the second skin. It is a mixture of excess ink, plasma and blood. It will not affect your tattoo outcome. After removing the second skin, gently rinse the excess ink off.
Removal of Protective film
Remove your second skin under running water or when showering, it is easier and pain free.
After removing the second skin, Clean the area gently using antibacterial or gentle soap, and rinse until all plasma and pigments are washed off.
Healing Period
During the healing period (usually 2-3 weeks), apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer after shower or when your tattoo feels dry.
Always keep the tattooed area clean to prevent infection—treat it like a wound that's in the process of healing!
Things to avoid!
Do not scratch or pick at the scab of your tattoo. As it can cause loss of pigment and delay the healing process.
Please do not swim or submerge in water for extended periods of time while it is still in the healing process.
Avoid wearing tight clothing around your tattooed area during the healing process to minimize friction and rubbing on your tattoo.
Avoid exposing your tattoo to direct sunlight until it is fully healed.
To preserve tattoo's longevity and vibrant colours!
Use sun protection, such as SPF/sunscreen, on healed tattoos whenever you are exposed to direct sunlight.
As UV rays tends to make tattoos become dull in colours, fades quickly, and thus compromising it's long-term appearance.
