3. Aftercare & Book Again

Aftercare is an integral part of the tattoo process, and we emphasise its importance to ensure your tattoo heals to its best potential.

We remain available post-tattoo to address any questions you may have, providing guidance and support to help you achieve optimal results.

Keep your artist posted with the healing process or sent a photo of it when healed, maybe enquire to book your next tattoo also.

Q1. How should I care for my tattoo in the first few days?

In the first few days, keep your tattoo clean and dry. Gently wash it with mild soap and water, pat it dry with a clean towel, and apply a thin layer of the recommended aftercare ointment sold at the studio.

Q2. When can I remove the cling film or second skin?

You should typically keep the clingfilm on for up to 2hours after your tattoo is done. After this time, carefully remove it and follow the aftercare instructions provided by your artist.Second skin is advised to be kept on for 3-5 days.

Q3. Can I swim or soak in water after getting a tattoo?

It's best to avoid swimming, soaking in baths, or using hot tubs for at least 2-3 weeks. This helps prevent irritation and infection while your tattoo is healing.

Q4. How often should I apply aftercare ointment?

You should apply aftercare ointment 2-3 times a day, or as advised by your artist, for the first week. After that, you can switch to a fragrance-free moisturiser as your tattoo continues to heal or continue with the advised products.

Q5. Is it normal for my tattoo to itch?

Yes, some itching is normal as your tattoo heals. However, avoid scratching or picking at the tattoo, as this can damage the skin and affect the design.

Zak Harrison
"Such a cool place to go to. All the staff were equally as welcoming and friendly. Genuine people with some good honest advice and some skilled talent. I really enjoyed my experience. I felt no judgement just positive vibes. So to the point, I went for a previous tattoo to be redone and completed."
