After Care
Taking care of your tattoo is a very important process to have a amazing piece of Art.
Depending on the placement, the size, healing is different for everyone. A tattoo is an open wound, is very susceptible to infections, following this aftercare instructions will lower your risk of problems during the healing process.
- You should expect your new tattoo to be irritated, swollen, and possibly bruised.
- Usually, 1 to 3 days your tattoo will be red or irritated. If swelling or bruising occurs, this could last for up to a week, especially if tattooed in a sensitive area such as the feet.
- Clean your tattoo with water and nonsense soap twice a day before you apply any cream or balm.
- Apply gently any of the after care cream or balm of your preference, just enough to moist the area.
- Scabbing is a result of the body’s healing process. Let the scab fall off naturally. You will also want to make sure that you keep the area clean as well as moisturized, Don't over moisturize.
- During the final stages of the healing process, typically 7 to 10 days you can expect the skin to start to flake and peel.

- Make sure to wash the tattoo, pat dry it, and let it dry and peel on its own.
If after the healing you do need a little retouch, we'll be more than happy to retouch it willing 60 days after the tattoo was made "for free".
