AFTERCARE ADVICE
Aftercare is very important in the world of tattooing.
Each tattoo artist has their own methods for assisting the healing process so here is ours:
After your tattoo is completed you will not be able to do the following:
- No sun baking
- No gym for a couple days
- No swimming in any body of water for two weeks
- No sitting in spas or saunas for two weeks
- No spray tans
Our favourite Tattoo Aftercare Cream is Dr Pickles Tattoo Balm.
We recommend using this cream because of its healing properties and how it feels on the skin. Please apply a thin layer of this cream 1-3 times daily depending on how dry your skin is.
Healing time for tattoos does depend on the individual and how healthy your body is at the time. Majority of clients will heal anywhere around 1-2 weeks.
If any lines in your tattoo dropped out during the healing process then please come back and see us after the tattoo has fully healed and we will touch it up. Touch ups are free within 2 months of getting them done.
Second Skin Adhesive
SecondSkinâ„¢ is a medical-grade, transparent, adhesive barrier that protects new tattoos while they are healing. It is latex-free, waterproof, breathable, and hypoallergenic.
The first few days crucial time when it comes to healing tattoos. SecondSkinâ„¢ can be left on during that period.
​
Your tattoo may leak some ink, blood, plasma and sweat underneath this adhesive bandage. Don't be alarmed! This is 100% normal and is helping your tattoo heal.
Please at least keep this on for 1-2 days, remove in the shower then start applying your aftercare cream 1-2 times a day until fully healed.
GLAD WRAP
Your tattoo may be covered in glad wrap before you leave the studio. Glad wrap is chosen if you get a large scale tattoo, a tattoo in a hard to cover area, if you get tattooed in a very warm month or if you reacted to adhesive materials.If your tattoo has been covered with glad wrap then please remove it after an hour, give it a clean with some water then start applying your tattoo aftercare cream.You will not need to cover your tattoo like this again.Please apply a thin layer of after care cream 2-3 times a day (depending on how dry your skin is) until your tattoo is fully healed.
