🧼 Tattoo Aftercare Instructions
1. Keep the bandage on for at least 2–4 hours after your session. This protects your tattoo from dirt and bacteria.
2. Wash your hands, then gently remove the bandage.
3. Clean the tattoo with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Do not scrub. Pat it dry with a clean towel.
4. Apply a thin layer of recommended tattoo aftercare ointment . Do not over-apply.
5. Repeat the cleaning and moisturizing process 2–3 times a day for the next 10–14 days.
6. Let it breathe — wear loose clothing to avoid rubbing or friction over the tattoo.
7. Expect peeling and mild itching — it’s part of the healing process. Do not pick or scratch.
