Tattoo Aftercare
Your new tattoo is an investment — in art, in meaning, in you. Follow these steps to protect it and keep it looking sharp for life.
The First 120 Hours
Leave your wrap on for 120 hours (5 days) before removing it. This is non-negotiable — the wrap is doing the heavy lifting while your skin begins to heal. Do not peek, do not lift the edge. Trust the process.
When the time comes, remove the wrap gently under warm running water. Let the water loosen the adhesive — never rip it off dry.
Cleaning & Moisturizing
After removing the wrap, gently wash the tattoo with clean hands using a fragrance-free, mild soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel — never rub.
Apply a thin layer of unscented moisturizer 2–3 times a day. Less is more. You want the skin to breathe, not suffocate under a thick coat of lotion. Keep it up until the skin feels fully healed — usually 2 to 4 weeks.
