Preparation & aftercare instructions
A good tattoo is half the session, half the healing. Follow these steps and your artist’s advice.
Pre-appointment checklist
Get a good night’s sleep before your session.
Stay hydrated and eat a meal 1–2 hours prior to your appointment.
Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo placement area.
Avoid alcohol and blood thinners 24 hours before your session.
Aftercare
Days 1–3
Initial healing
- Keep the protective film on as advised by your artist.
- Wash gently with lukewarm water and unperfumed antibacterial soap.
- Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Never rub.
Days 4–14
Recovery & moisturizing
- Apply a thin layer of recommended tattoo aftercare balm 2–3 times daily.
- Do not pick or scratch peeling skin or scabs.
- Avoid full submersion in water (swimming pools, baths, ocean) and direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks.
Full healing takes 2–3 weeks. Something doesn’t look right? Send your artist a photo by DM and we’ll advise.
