Tattoo Aftercare and Healing
Due to different skin types, the healing process varies from person to person, but generally takes between two to four weeks.
The better you take care of your tattoo, the faster your skin will heal and the longer your tattoo will stay looking great.
- Never let your tattoo dry out
- Give your body and your tattoo time to heal and adjust
- Take it easy with sports, sunbathing, sauna visits, swimming pools, or bathing
Creams can be harmful to a new tattoo. They are often thick and sticky, which can suffocate the tattoo and attract dirt. Applying the wrong cream to a fresh tattoo increases the risk of infection.
During the healing process, only use a cream or ointment specifically intended for tattoo aftercare.
