Aftercare Guide
Personal aftercare recommendations from Ellie Artmann
1
Keep it clean
Gently wash the tattoo with unscented antibacterial soap and lukewarm water 2–3 times a day for the first week.
2
Moisturise regularly
Apply a thin layer of unscented moisturiser or specialist tattoo balm 2–3 times daily once the initial weeping stops.
3
Avoid sun & soaking
Keep the tattoo out of direct sunlight (this includes sun beds) and avoid swimming, baths, or hot tubs until fully healed (2–4 weeks).
4
Don't pick or scratch
Let any scabbing or peeling happen naturally — picking can pull out ink and cause scarring.
