Aftercare

Heal it right.

A tattoo is an open wound for a couple of weeks. Follow these and yours will land sharp, saturated, and as intended.

Day 1 — In the wrap

I'll bandage your piece before you leave. Leave it on for the time I tell you (usually 2–24 hrs depending on bandage type). Don't peek.

Days 2–3 — Wash & moisture

Wash gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap, 2–3x daily. Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Apply a thin layer of unscented lotion (Aquaphor for the first 2 days, then unscented Lubriderm or Hustle Butter).

Week 1 — The itch

It'll feel tight, scabby, maybe a bit shiny. DO NOT pick, scratch, or peel. Keep it moisturized, keep it clean, keep it out of direct sun.

Weeks 2–4 — Settling in

Most of the surface healing is done. The deeper layers take about a month to fully settle. Stay out of pools, saunas, hot tubs, and direct sun. SPF 50+ once fully healed — sun is what fades ink.

✓ Do

  • · Wash gently 2–3x per day with unscented soap
  • · Pat dry with paper towel (towels harbor bacteria)
  • · Thin layer of moisturizer — less is more
  • · Sleep on clean sheets in loose, breathable clothing
  • · SPF 50+ once fully healed, forever

✕ Don't

  • · Pick, scratch, or peel scabs
  • · Soak in pools, baths, hot tubs, or the ocean for 2 weeks
  • · Direct sun exposure or tanning beds
  • · Heavy gym sessions for 48 hrs (sweat)
  • · Scented lotions, Vaseline (long-term), or 'tattoo healing' miracle creams
When to call me

Spreading redness past the tattoo, hot to the touch, oozing pus, fever, or anything that just feels wrong — text me first, then your doctor if it doesn't resolve in 24 hrs. Real infections are rare but I'd rather check.
