TATTOO AFTERCARE

TATTOO AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Remember that proper aftercare is an essential process for the healing and longevity of your tattoo. Follow these instructions carefully. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact me at dmg.ctrl@outlook.com.
Thank you for choosing me for your tattoo and I look forward to seeing you again in the future.
DIRECTIONS:
Before leaving the studio, I will cover the tattoo with cling wrap. Be sure to leave this on for 2-4hrs.
After removing the cling wrap, wash your tattoo gently with warm tempered water and gentle soap.
PAT DRY with a clean towel or paper towel.
Do not rub or scratch tattoo.
Apply a thin layer of unscented non-comedogenic moisturiser to the surface area of the tattoo.
Do not apply heavy or fragranced ointment.
Heavy ointments should be avoided as they can clog pores and prevent proper airflow to the tattooed ares. This can lead to excessive scabbing, delayed healing, and even infection.
During the healing process:
Avoid swimming, soaking or exposing tattoo to direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks
Were loose, breathable clothing to avoid rubbing or irritating the tattoo
Do not pick or scratch the tattoo. Let it heal naturally.
If the tattoo feels itchy or uncomfortable, apply a cold compress or take a cool shower
Avoid touching the tattoo with dirty hands.
Keep it clean and dry
If you notice any signs of infection seek medical attention immediately. Some signs of infection include: redness, swelling, pus, or fever.
