If you cancel in advance you do not lose the deposit.

Q. How do I care for my tattoo?

A. It is important to follow these aftercare instructions to ensure that your tattoo stays looking as good as it possibly can. Speak with your Artist to be sure best how to handle aftercare and what to use to promote healing and longevity of the work.

Please see below for general instructions.

 

 

Aftercare Instructions

Step one: The tattooist will dress your tattoo with cling film after it has been done (this keeps in moisture and keeps dirt away from the broken skin). Leave this on for two hours before removing the dressing. The tattoo will likely be inflamed and sensitive.

​

Step two: Wash the tattoo using warm (not hot) soapy water using your fingers. Do not rub at the tattoo and do not soak the tattoo for any length of time. Then rinse with cold water before allowing to dry.

​

Step three: Apply a thin layer of your tattoo aftercare that you purchased when you got your tattoo. Repeat 3-4 times daily.

For the first two weeks after your tattoo do not soak the tattoo for any lengthy periods of time (showering is better than baths). Keep the tattoo moisturized using the aftercare cream and the scabbing will be minimal. Do not pick or scratch any scabs that may occur, simply apply the aftercare cream and allow to heal naturally. Most importantly keep the tattoo clean! Poor aftercare can lead to infection, loss of colour and ultimately a poor looking tattoo. The tattooist will do everything he can to ensure your tattoo will look the best it can (it’s walking advertisement after all) but if the tattoo gets infected or heals badly due to poor aftercare, this is beyond the tattooists control and he can not be held responsible.
