Aftercare

It takes 3 weeks to a month for a tattoo to heal.

As your tattoo heals, it will leak, scab, and peel. This is natural.

All tattoos itch as they heal and it is important to never scratch or pick at the tattoo. If necessary, lightly pat the skin to alleviate any itching.

To minimize the risk of infection, wash your hands before bandaging or cleaning the tattoo.

Do not swim or use hot tubs for at least three weeks after getting your tattoo.

Sunlight fades tattoos. Avoid sun exposure, especially while your tattoo is healing.

Cover up and use sunblock after your tattoo is healed.
