Tattoo Healing & Aftercare Instructions

📅 Phase 1: Days 1 – 3 (Initial Healing)

  • Keep the protective second-skin wrap or bandage on for 4 to 6 hours (or up to 24 hours if Dermalize wrap was applied).
  • Wash gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Do not scrub.
  • Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Never use bath towels.
  • Apply a tiny, pea-sized layer of recommended aftercare balm (e.g. Bepanthen or Hustle Butter).

📅 Phase 2: Days 4 – 14 (Peeling & Flaking)

  • Your tattoo will begin to flake like a mild sunburn. This is completely normal.
  • DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH. Picking scabs causes ink fallout and scarring.
  • Moisturise 2 to 3 times daily with light fragrance-free lotion.

⚠️ Absolute Don'ts

❌ No swimming (pools, oceans, beach) for 3 weeks
❌ No direct sunlight or tanning for 4 weeks
❌ No soaking in bathtubs or saunas
❌ No tight clothing rubbing against fresh ink
