Cling Wrap: Immediate Tattoo Aftercare
After getting a tattoo on your body, we apply a clean and disinfected cling wrap to protect the fresh ink from germs, dust, and moisture. Ensure you leave the wrap on for the recommended hours (2-4 hours) and let your skin settle properly. Once removed, wash the area with mild soap and lukewarm water and pat dry. Do not reapply the same cling wrap or a new one. This can cause infection. Proper aftercare during this very first step ensures the healthy healing process and vibrant results. Here are quick tips to consider:

Use of Aftercare Creams
Maintain the moisture of your tattoo with high0-quality aftercare creams. These also promote quick healing by providing a protective layer over your tattoo. It can also prevent skin infection and reduce dryness. It is good to choose a fragrance=free and hypoallergenic cream to avoid irritation.
Apply a thin layer over your tattoo 2-3 times a day, gently massaging it in. Avoid over-application, as it can clog pores. Consistent use of high-quality aftercare creams helps maintain your tattoo’s vibrancy and ensures smooth, even healing without excessive scabbing or itching.
Touch Ups: Tattoo Maintenance
Tattoo Touch-ups can help maintain the clarity and vibrancy of your ink over time. After the healing process, some spots need more work to restore the art details and deepen the lines. Touch-ups promote the vibrancy and crisp of your tattoo while preventing skin infections. Our artists provide complementary touch-up services after your first session to avoid fading or fix the imperfections. Proper aftercare and recommended instructions can reduce the chance for frequent touch-ups, ensuring beautiful and lasting tattoos.
