To ensure a great tattoo result and for it to  heal well and look vibrant for years to come, follow these simple steps for proper aftercare. Remember, different tattoo styles may have unique healing processes, so it’s important to take advice from each individual tattoo artist.


1. Gently Wash Your Tattoo

In the first week after, make sure to only take quick and luke warm showers. Make sure that no shampoo, conditioner, fragranced body wash etc. comes in touch with the fresh tattoo.

In case you feel like cleaning the tattoo, just wash it gently with PH.neutral soap. Pat the area dry with a clean paper towel or allow it to air dry.

3. Apply a Thin Layer of Ointment

Once your tattoo is dry, apply a thin layer of an ointment recommended by your tattoo artist. Avoid using too much ointment, as this can clog pores and hinder the healing process.

4. Keep It Moisturized

For the first few days, continue to apply the recommended ointment. After that, switch to a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer. Keep your tattoo moisturized, but don’t overdo it. Your skin should be hydrated but not overly greasy.

5. Avoid Direct Sunlight

Direct sunlight can fade your tattoo and irritate the healing skin. Keep your tattoo covered with loose clothing when you’re outside. Once it’s fully healed, always use a high SPF sunscreen on your tattoo to keep the colors vibrant.

6. Stay Out of the Water

Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, oceans, and baths for at least two weeks. Excessive moisture can damage your tattoo and introduce bacteria. Stick to showers and make sure to dry your tattoo thoroughly afterward.

7. Wear Loose Clothing

Tight clothing can rub against your tattoo and cause irritation or even infection. Opt for loose, breathable fabrics that won’t stick to your healing skin.

8. Avoid Picking and Scratching

As your tattoo heals, it may scab or peel, and you might experience some itching. Resist the urge to pick or scratch at it. This can cause scarring and damage the tattoo. If the itching becomes unbearable, gently tap around the area or apply a bit of moisturizer.

9. Monitor for Signs of Infection

Keep an eye on your tattoo for any signs of infection, such as excessive redness, swelling, pus, or a foul odor. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your tattoo artist or a healthcare professional immediately.

10. Be Patient and Understand Your Tattoo Style

Healing times can vary based on the style of your tattoo. For example:

  • Fine Line and Minimalist Tattoos: These often heal faster because they involve less trauma to the skin. However, they can be more prone to fading if not properly protected from the sun.

  • Large or Detailed Tattoos: These may take longer to heal and require more careful moisturizing to prevent scabbing and loss of detail.

  • Watercolor Tattoos: These often involve more layers of ink, which can lead to longer healing times. Gentle care is essential to maintain the vibrant colors.

  • Blackwork and Dotwork Tattoos: These styles can create more scabbing due to the dense concentration of ink. Extra care in moisturizing and avoiding picking is crucial.

By understanding the specific needs of your tattoo style and following these aftercare tips, you can ensure your tattoo heals properly and remains a beautiful piece of art for years to come. If you have any questions or concerns during the healing process, don’t hesitate to reach out to your tattoo artist. Enjoy your new tattoo!

The experience of pain during a tattoo can vary greatly from person to person. Several factors contribute to how much pain an individual feels:

  1. Pain Threshold: Everyone has a different tolerance for pain. Some people find the sensation of getting a tattoo uncomfortable but manageable, while others may find it very painful.

  2. Location of the Tattoo: Certain parts of the body are more sensitive than others. Areas with more nerve endings or thinner skin, such as the ribs, spine, and certain areas of the torso, tend to be more painful.

  3. Size and Complexity of the Tattoo: Larger and more intricate tattoos typically take longer to complete, which can increase the overall discomfort.

  4. Skill of the Tattoo Artist: A skilled tattoo artist can minimize discomfort by using proper techniques and working efficiently.

  5. Personal Factors: Factors like stress levels, hydration, and overall health can also influence how someone perceives pain during a tattoo session.

To manage discomfort during a tattoo, some people find it helpful to:

  • Communicate with the Tattoo Artist: Let your tattoo artist know if you’re experiencing discomfort or need a break.
  • Practice Deep Breathing: Deep, slow breaths can help relax your body and distract from the pain.
  • Take Breaks: If needed, take short breaks during longer sessions to give yourself a rest.
  • Numbing cream: please consult with your tattoo artist before hand in case you consider to apply a numbing cream

Getting a tattoo is a significant decision and there are certain times and conditions when it is best to postpone this choice. To ensure your safety and the best possible outcome, avoid getting a tattoo in the following situations:

  1. Health Concerns: If you have an active infection, a skin condition, or any chronic illness that compromises your immune system, it’s best to wait until you’re fully recovered.
  2. Medication and Medical Treatments: Avoid tattoos if you’re on medications like blood thinners or undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy that can affect healing.
  3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Due to potential risks to both mother and child, it’s advisable to wait until after pregnancy and breastfeeding are complete.
  4. Sunburned or Damaged Skin: Tattoos should never be applied to sunburned, irritated, or damaged skin. Ensure your skin is in optimal condition for the best results.
  5. Alcohol or Drug Influence: Avoid getting a tattoo while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as it can affect your decision-making and pain tolerance.
  6. Recent Vaccinations: Postpone your tattoo appointment if you’ve recently had a vaccination, as your body needs time to recover from the vaccine.
  7. Allergic Reactions: If you have a history of severe allergic reactions, especially to tattoo inks or related products, consult a healthcare professional before getting a tattoo.

Remember, patience and proper timing can ensure that your tattoo experience is both safe and satisfactory. Always consult with a professional tattoo artist and, if needed, a healthcare provider to make the best decision for your health and tattoo longevity.
