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.
