🐜 Tat after care 🐜


💧Welcome to the journey of healing your precious tattoo! Follow these steps for the best results. ⛰️

🐸  Keep it Covered
 If cling filmed, maintain the covering for 3-5 hours. If you're using Second skin, you can keep it on for up to 3 days. 
The bandage is on for a reason – shield your tattoo from the germy world during this crucial period.

🐸  Gentle Wash & Pat Dry
Use unscented soap, clean it up, and pat it dry. No tissues, no towels! Paper towels only!

🐸  Lightly Moisturize  
Apply a thin layer of non-scented moisturizer or tattoo after care cream. Don't suffocate it – thin is the keyword.

🐸  Daily TLC (2x a Day)  
Wash and moisturize twice a day, in the morning and before bed till the scab is gone. 

🐸  Avoid the Itch  
Resist the urge to scratch. Slap it gently or add a bit of ointment if it bugs you.

🐸  Stay Dry, Stay Safe
No swimming. No hot tubs. No saunas. Hot water is not your friend. Keep it cool, keep it dry until it's done healing.

🐸  Comfortable Clothing
Loose is the way to go. No tight fits – give it room to breathe.

🐸  Skip the Gym for a Bit
Take a workout break. Let it heal without unnecessary movement and sweat.

🐸  Watch for Swelling
Feet, ankles, or calves acting up? A bit hot to the touch? Elevate and keep them clean. Take an Ibuprofen if you like.

🐸  Sunscreen and Hydration
Protect your investment! Use SPF 30+ on healed tattoos. Stay hydrated; it's good for your skin and your ink.

🐸  Mindful Sleeping
Avoid direct contact with the fresh tattoo while sleeping. A small adjustment for a big payoff.

🐸  Allergies Beware
Keep an eye out for allergies. If irritation happens, seek professional advice.

🐸  Limit Alcohol and Blood Thinners
Go easy on the drinks. Alcohol can affect your tattoo. Skip blood thinners during the healing period.
