Swimming, Sun beds & UV Rays
Your new tattoo is an open wound and vulnerable to infection and UV damage.
For smaller tattoos you must wait for at least 4 weeks, larger tattoos up to 8 weeks before any exposure as the risk of burning, scarring, fading or infection is at its highest.
Submersion is not advised either as this may encourage infection and fading.
Once your tattoo has stopped peeling or scabbing its crucial to still protect your skin with a high SPF sun cream.
Aftercare
Aftercare is very important as this depends on how your tattoo heals.
Treat your new tattoo like a fresh surgical wound.
First Wash: Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the tattoo. Carefully remove the bandage/clear wrap and wash the area with lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap.
Drying: Gently pat the skin dry with a clean paper towel. Never rub or use regular bath towels, which can harbor bacteria and cause irritation. Let it air dry for 5 to 10 minutes.
Moisturising: Apply a very thin layer of a tattoo-specific aftercare balm. Your skin should not look shiny or suffocated.
(We stock Tattoo aftercare products!)
Frequency: Wash and moisturize the tattoo 2 to 3 times a day until the scabbing and peeling process is complete.
