Complete Tattoo Aftercare Bandages: Remove traditional wrap in 2-4 hours, or keep second skin on for 3-5 days. Wash immediately after removal. Washing: Clean 2-3 times daily with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Always pat dry gently using clean paper towels. Moisturizing: Apply a very thin layer of specialized tattoo ointment or unscented lotion. The skin should look satin, never drenched, so it can breathe properly. Avoid: No swimming pools, beaches, hot tubs, or heavy baths for 2-4 weeks. Avoid direct sun exposure and tight, abrasive clothing. Scabbing & Peeling: Natural flaking occurs around days 4-10. Never scratch, pick, or peel the skin or scabs to avoid losing ink. Long-Term Protection: Once fully healed, maintain hydration and always use SPF 50+ sunscreen to keep colors vibrant over time.
