01.
Initial Dressing
Keep your tattoo wrapped for at least 2–4 hours as advised. The dressing protects the skin from bacteria and air-borne pathogens during the initial highly sensitive phase.
02.
Gentle Cleaning
Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your tattoo. Clean the area gently using lukewarm water and a fragrance-free, mild soap to remove excess plasma or ink.
03.
Hydration
Apply a very thin layer of recommended tattoo balm or ointment. Avoid petroleum-based products that can suffocate the skin; the goal is to keep the skin hydrated, not wet.
04.
Important Advice
Do not pick or scratch at scabs. Avoid swimming, baths, saunas, and direct sunlight for at least 14 days. Sun damage is the quickest way to ruin a fresh piece of art.
