Tattoo Aftercare
Below are the DOs and Don'ts when it come to the healing process of your fantastic new tattoo
• Your tattoo artist will cover your tattoo after the session is done.
• Keep your covering on for at least 4 hours.
• After 4 hours take your cover off and wash your tattoo gently with your hands, use dove soap and water (do not use a wash cloth or sponge)
• Tap dry your tattoo gently or leave to air dry.
• For the next two weeks repeat the washing process above, in the morning and evening
• The healing process starts once your tattoo starts drying and starts to scab, start with your aftercare cream (SoftWasp) sold in store.
• Apply SoftWasp in the morning and in the evening after cleaning your tattoo until the scabbing stage is over.
• You can use your aftercare cream as a daily moisturiser for your tattoo even after it has healed.
• No picking at scabs or scratching your tattoo.
• No soaking your tattoo in water like swimming in pools or the ocean and exercising until your tattoo has fully healed.
• A quick shower is recommended, do not soak your tattoo.
• Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight during the healing process.
• Your tattoo artist will always be there to answer your questions and give advice.
• Once you leave the shop it is your duty to take care of your tattoo with all the information that you have been provided with by your artist.
• Last but not least enjoy your new tattoo!
