Your First Day
On your first day with a new tattoo, it's important to keep it clean and protected. Avoid soaking it in water and let it breathe. Gently wash with mild soap and pat dry. Remember, this is just the beginning of your tattoo's healing journey.
Healing Process
The healing process can take several weeks. During this time, your tattoo may peel and itch. Resist the urge to scratch! Instead, keep it moisturized with a fragrance-free lotion to promote healthy healing and color retention.
Special Care Tips
Certain tattoos may require special attention based on their size and location. For larger or intricate designs, consider avoiding tight clothing that may rub against your tattoo. Always consult with your artist for personalized care tips.
