Aftercare

Heal it well.

Good healing is half of a good tattoo. These are general guidelines: always follow the instructions your artist gives you on the day.

Tattoo

  • Keep the protective film on for the time your artist tells you.
  • Wash gently with lukewarm water and a fragrance-free soap, then pat dry with a clean paper towel.
  • Apply a thin layer of healing balm two to three times a day.
  • Do not scratch or peel the skin as it flakes.
  • Avoid sun, sea, swimming pools, hammam and sauna for two to three weeks.
  • Once healed, protect the tattoo with sunscreen to keep it sharp.

Piercing

  • Clean twice a day with a sterile saline solution.
  • Never touch the piercing with unwashed hands.
  • Do not twist or remove the jewellery while it heals.
  • Avoid pools and the sea, and try not to sleep on it.
  • Healing takes about six to eight weeks for a lobe and several months for cartilage or navel.
