Care for the art you carry

Let it heal
beautifully.

Good aftercare is part of good tattoo work. Here’s a calm, general overview of what a care conversation might cover.

This page is general educational placeholder copy for a fictional studio. Follow the specific instructions from your licensed tattoo professional, and contact a healthcare provider about medical concerns.
01 · First hours

Keep it clean

Follow your artist’s instructions for removing any protective covering. Wash your hands before touching the area and gently clean as directed.

02 · Daily care

Gentle is best

Cleanse carefully and use only the aftercare product recommended by your professional. Pat dry with a clean towel rather than rubbing.

03 · While healing

Give it room

Choose loose, clean clothing and avoid unnecessary friction. Don’t pick or scratch while the skin settles.

04 · Take a pause

Protect the process

Until healed, avoid soaking, swimming, direct sun, and activities your artist advises against. Resume your normal routine gradually.

05 · When in doubt

Ask a professional

Healing varies from person to person. If you’re worried about a reaction or infection, contact a healthcare professional promptly.

06 · Long after

Keep it considered

Once healed, protect tattooed skin from sun exposure with appropriate sunscreen and keep the skin moisturized.

A note on healing

Your artist knows
your piece best.

Placement, size, technique, and your own skin all affect healing. General advice can’t replace the direct instructions you receive from a qualified professional.
