A little care, every day.
Start with the bandage used for your tattoo.
Confirm the removal time before leaving the studio. Regular wrap and adhesive film have different care instructions.
Film products vary. Don’t use regular plastic-wrap timings for an adhesive bandage.
Keep the routine gentle and give your skin time.
Skip the pool, ocean and baths until healed.
Protect healing skin from direct sunlight.
Let flakes and scabs come away naturally. No picking or scratching.
Choose clothing that won’t stick to or rub your tattoo.
Use a gentle wash. Pat dry, rather than rubbing.
Use a mild moisturiser as directed by your artist.
Healing varies. These stages are a guide, rather than a fixed timetable.
Some redness, swelling, soreness and clear fluid can occur. Symptoms should ease rather than worsen.
Itching, flaking and scabs may follow. Leave them alone and continue the care routine.
The surface can look healed before recovery is complete. Check with your artist before returning to swimming.
General guidance: Mayo Clinic, American Academy of Dermatology and Saniderm bandage guidance.
Once healed, send a clear photo in natural light if you’d like the team to assess your tattoo. Ask about touch-up availability, pricing and timing.
