Tattoo Aftercare Information...

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
 
 
Looking after your tattoo is just as important as the tattooing process, if you would like yours to heal well, please follow these instructions:

 

  • Keep the cling film on for at least 3 hours if possible 

  • After this time remove cling film, use clean hands, warm water and antibacterial soap to remove excess ink

  • Always use a shower, never soak in the bath

  • Allow to air dry or use a clean towel (no sharing) – make sure the tattoo is completely dry

  • Following this apply a thin layer of Tattoo aftercare for the next two weeks - please do this 4-6 times a day after washing your tattoo with clean hands, do not smother the tattoo with cream

  • It is recommended to wrap your tattoo in cling film at night for 2-3 nights, no longer. This is to protect your tattoo from drying out and sticking to bedsheets 

  • We sell Butterluxe balm and soap on site for £5 a tub/bar 

  • A tattoo is open wound and will become itchy when healing, do not scratch

  • Do not use fake tan, perfume or cosmetics on your tattoo

  • Do not go swimming or use a sunbed for two weeks after getting the tattoo

  • Do not go to the gym for the first week, be cautious with sweating in week two oh healing.

  • if you have any concerns about infection, please call us immiediately or send an email with pictures of how you are healing.

  • Ink will come out of your tattoo for the first few days of healing be aware this could stain your bedsheets or clothes.

  • If you would like an alternative healing cream please ask your tattooist for advice
