TATTOO AFTERCARE
- Remove Cling Film After 1 Hour, Wash tattoo with luke warm water, try not to completely soak the tattoo, pat it dry with a clean towel. Do NOT put more cling film on.
- If you got Bactine Spray you can use this as much as you want but only on the first night ! If you have any left keep it for your next tattoo.
- Day 2 – Start using Bepanthen Morning & Night. Less is more so don’t put too much on, few small spots is all that is needed, rube in & wipe any excess back off.
- Do not Scratch or pick your tattoo as this will result in damaging it. Your tattoo will get itchy as it heals which is normal, best way to handle this is to slap it.
- No Gyms, Saunas, Steam Rooms, Sun beds etc until your tattoo is fully healed. Going to the Gym or taking part in sports etc opens up your pores and can damage your tattoo as you sweat & you can also get an infection. No Swimming as the pool has chemicals.
LASER AFTERCARE
- Remove Cling Film After 1 Hour, Wash lasered area with luke warm water, pat dry with a clean towel.
- Day 1 – Use Bactine spray
- Day 2 – Apply Aloe Vera Gel to lasered area, this helps cool the skin down. Use this for the first couple of days then switch to Savlon Gel.
- Day 4 – Switch to Savlon Gel, this is a strong Antiseptic which will help heal the lasered area of skin.
- If you require more sessions you will need to wait 6 – 8 weeks before coming back.
- If this is your last session before covering over it with a new tattoo you will need to leave it 12 – 14 weeks to fully settle.
