Where ink meets soul, care becomes ritual.
​
Thank you for trusting me with your tattoo. Proper aftercare is key to preserving the detail and longevity of your piece. Whether you're healing under Saniderm or using a traditional method, follow these steps for the best results.
✦ Immediately After Your Appointment
Your tattoo is protected with a breathable bandage (typically Saniderm).Here’s what to do:
​
-
Leave bandage on for 3–5 days.
-
If irritation or redness occurs around the edges, remove it early using warm water in the shower to loosen the adhesive.(If you experience a reaction, please contact me.)
-
​
-
Not using Saniderm?
-
Gently wash your tattoo with fragrance-free soap after 2–4 hours. Pat dry with a clean towel and apply a very thin layer of unscented Aquaphor. Repeat 2–3x daily for the first few days.
-
​
​
✦ Ongoing Care
-
Moisturize regularly using Aquaphor or another fragrance-free lotion twice daily until healed (typically 1–2 weeks).
​
-
Don’t pick or scratch. Itching and light flaking are normal. Let your body do the work.
​
-
Avoid:
-
​Swimming or soaking for 2–3 weeks
-
Direct sun and sunscreen until healed
-
Tight clothing that may rub the area
