Aftercare

Keep it clean.
Let it heal.

A new tattoo is an open wound. How you treat it in the first few days determines how it looks for the rest of your life. Get it right and it'll stay sharp for decades.

First 24 hours
Immediate care
  • Leave the wrap on for as long as specified
  • When removing, wash gently with unscented soap and warm water
  • Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Don't rub.
  • Apply a thin layer of Palmer's Cocoa Butter. Highly recommended.
24 – 72 hours
The healing window
  • Moisturise 2–3× daily with Palmer's Cocoa Butter
  • Don't scratch, pick, or peel. Let it flake naturally.
  • Keep it out of direct sunlight while healing
  • No baths, pools, or sea water for at least 3 weeks
Long term
Keeping it sharp
  • SPF 30+ on healed tattoos whenever you're in the sun
  • Keep skin moisturised. Dry skin dulls the contrast.
  • Sunbeds and UV degrade ink faster than anything else
  • First touch-up is free. Get in touch when fully healed.

If you're ever unsure about how your tattoo is healing, message me directly. Don't wait, it's always better to ask early. Reach me on WhatsApp.
