Tattoo Aftercare

Leave the Tattoo covered with the Cling Film for 48 hours.

During this time wash the Tattoo & change the Cling Film at least 4 times a day.

While the Cling Film is over the Tattoo it will sweat & bring out all the unwanted ink, sweat, blood etc. So don't be worried by the "Black Gunge" that will come out.

The more of the "Gunge" you can get out of the Tattoo under the Cling Film the less scab you will have and the better the Tattoo will Heal.

Once you remove the Cling Film Cover for good, wash with warm soapy water daily at least 4 times.

Apply Anti-Septic Cream at least 4 times a day after washing, even while the cling film is on it and after you remove it. (we reccomend BEPANTHEN cream).

After a couple of days it will dry up, Keep washing & applying the antiseptic cream until the scabs have come off.

The Tattoo will take 7 - 10 days to heal.

DO NOT - Scratch or Pick the Tattoo. Expose to Strong Sunlight (inc. sunbeds). Soak in water for Prolonged periods i.e Swimming.

DO - KEEP THE TATTOO CLEAN AT ALL TIMES AWAY FROM DIRT,OIL,GREASE etc.
