Aftercare Instructions

Tattoo Aftercare

 

Honoring Your Artwork

Your tattoo is a living piece of art—an extension of your journey. To preserve its integrity and vibrance, follow these elevated aftercare guidelines:

Immediate Care

  • Keep your tattoo wrapped for 1-2 hours to protect it from bacteria.
  • Wash your hands before touching your fresh tattoo.
  • Gently cleanse with a fragrance-free, antibacterial soap and cold water to soothe the skin.
  • Air dry or lightly pat with a clean paper towel—never rub.
  • Apply Aquaphor or the recommended healing ointment after each wash and anytime your tattoo feels dry.
  • Repeat this cleansing process for 3-5 days.

Healing & Protection

  • As your tattoo peels or flakes, resist the urge to scratch or pick! Let the healing process unfold naturally.
  • Avoid tanning beds and prolonged sun exposure to maintain the depth and clarity of your artwork.
  • Showers are fine, but avoid baths, pools, and any prolonged soaking.

Long-Term Care: Preserving Your Masterpiece

  • Hydrate your tattoo with a quality, unscented lotion to keep the colors and details vibrant.
  • Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 20 or higher) during sun exposure to prevent fading.


Your tattoo is more than ink—it’s an artistic imprint of your essence. Treat it with the care it deserves, and it will remain as timeless as the moment it was created.

Piercing Aftercare

Essential Care for Optimal Healing


• CLEAN HANDS FIRST – Always wash hands before touching or cleaning your piercing.
• SALINE SOAK – Soak with warm saline for at least five minutes once daily. Use sterile gauze or paper towels if needed. Rinse afterward to prevent irritation.
• GENTLE CLEANSING – While showering, apply a small drop of mild, fragrance-free soap. Limit to 30 seconds max, then rinse thoroughly.
• PAT DRY – Use a clean, disposable paper towel—avoid fabric towels.
• OPTIMAL HEALING – For best results, use our All-Natural Piercing Aftercare Solution, designed to promote faster healing and reduce irritation.

What to Expect During Healing
• Initial Phase – Some swelling, redness, mild soreness, or slight bleeding is normal.
• Healing Progression – Minor itching, clear or whitish fluid (not pus), and tightness around the jewelry are common.
• Mature Piercings – Even years later, piercings can close quickly if jewelry is removed. Keep jewelry in place to maintain the piercing.


What to Avoid:
• Harsh Chemicals – No alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or ointments.
• Over-Cleansing – Too much cleaning can slow healing.
• Friction & Irritation – Avoid tight clothing, excessive movement, and unnecessary handling.
• Unhygienic Contact – No unwashed hands or bodily fluids near the piercing.
• Submersion in Water – No pools, lakes, hot tubs, or prolonged soaking. Use a waterproof barrier if necessary.
• Cosmetics & Sprays – Keep all products away from the piercing.
