There’s always a risk getting a tattoo and you’re responsible for it’s aftercare. Healing your tattoo with a good result is easy. Follow our advice, recommendations, and instructions.
- Remove bandage the next morning. Using clean hands, wash gently with soft, perfume-free soap and water. Don’t re-bandage.
- Make sure you remove all ointment, blood, and excess ink during initial first wash. Don’t soak in bathtub or under running water.
- Pat dry with a paper or CLEAN-cotton towel, carefully. DO NOT scrub.
- Wait at least 3 hours or until evening before starting the application of tattoo healing creme (available at Royal Tattoo) or pantothenol (from your chemist).
- Apply VERY THIN layers of creme 3 times a day after washing your tattoo.
- Only use soap to wash and tattoo creme after. Nothing else until healed.
- No direct sunlight or sunbed for 3 weeks. Don’t use sunscreen lotion until fully healed.
- No soaking in water and no swimming of any kind for 2 weeks.
- Wear only soft cotton over your new tattoo and let air to it when possible. NO tight clothing against your new tattoo.
- Don`t wear jewellery near your new tattoo until completely healed.
- DO NOT PICK OR SCRATCH YOUR TATTOO
- Don`t let people or any dirty surfaces make contact with your tattoo.
- If you have pets, keep them away from your tattoo while healing.
- To speed up the healing process, drink 2-3 liters of water during the first 4-5 days.
- Sports and working-out should be done with care, ideally, waiting until fully healed. If you can’t wait, avoid contact-sports and be careful as to not stretch the skin too much. Don’t let your tattoo touch training-equipment surfaces and wash your tattoo immediately after your routine. Soaking in sweat is bad!
