General tattoo aftercare guidance — keeping a new tattoo clean, moisturised and protected while it heals. Always follow your artist’s specific advice.
Keep the area clean, follow your artist’s wrapping instructions, wash gently with unscented soap, and apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare. Avoid soaking, swimming, direct sun and picking at scabs while it heals.
This is general information only — always follow the specific aftercare advice your artist gives you, and seek medical attention if you notice signs of infection.
