What is Aftercare?
Tattoo aftercare is the process of taking care of your new tattoo to ensure proper healing and maintain its vibrancy. It involves following specific steps, like keeping the area clean, moisturized, and protected from irritants, to avoid infections and ensure the design stays sharp and beautiful. Good aftercare is key to preserving your tattoo for years to come! ✨
Tattoo Aftercare Timeline: How to Heal Like a Pro✨
Day 1 - 3: Fresh Ink Stage
Your tattoo will be covered with a bandage—leave it on as instructed by your artist.
After removing the bandage, gently clean the area with mild, unscented wipes.
Pat dry with a clean towel and apply a thin layer of tattoo-approved ointment.
Day 4 - 7: Peeling Begins
Your tattoo may start to scab or peel—this is normal! Avoid picking or scratching it.
Clean around the tattoo gently with unscented wipes and moisturize regularly with a tattoo aftercare product or Vaseline Petroleum Jelly.
Week 2 - 3: Itchy Phase
The peeling and itching may intensify—stay patient and resist the urge to scratch.
Continue cleaning and moisturizing, keeping the tattoo clean and hydrated.
Week 4 - 6: Healing Finalizes
Your tattoo will look more settled as the outer layers heal, but the deeper layers are still recovering.
Avoid sun exposure, swimming, and soaking in water until fully healed.
After 6 Weeks: Long - Term Care
Keep your tattoo vibrant by using sunscreen when exposed to sunlight.
Moisturize regularly to maintain healthy skin and enhance the tattoo’s appearance.
Good aftercare = a tattoo you’ll love for life! 💫
