Once your tattoo is complete I will wrap it with a dressing that you should leave on for 2-3 hours. You may notice blood or ink from the tattoo itself this is completely normal and nothing to worry about.

Do not leave your dressing on any longer than this time.

What you will need to look after your tattoo:

- Aftercare product 

- Kitchen Roll

- Fragrance free mild antibacterial soap

Washing procedure:

- Firstly, wash your hands with the fragrance free mild antibacterial soap

- Remove the dressing carefully and dispose of it into the bin (Dressing must always be fresh and never reused)

- Wash the tattoo thoroughly with the fragrance free mild antibacterial soap and luke warm water. Please only wash with your hands, sponges and other cleaning products could hold bacteria.

- Rinse your tattoo with cold water as this will close the pores and prevent bacteria getting into your tattoo

Drying Procedure:

- Dry your tattoo with fresh kitchen roll only to ensure its clean, a towel could potentially hold bacteria - Pat dry gently do not rub as this can cause irritation and friction.

Aftercare Procedure:

- I will recommend you an aftercare product and I strongly advise you listen to my recommendation. Recommended products tend to be, Hussle Butter, Tattoo Goo, Palmers cocoa butter/oil.

- Apply a thin layer to the tattooed area, if you can no longer see your tattoo clearly you have applied too much and it must be removed with clean kitchen roll. You must only apply a thin layer so you aren't suffocating your skin and clogging the pores. Your aftercare is there to form a protective layer.

It is normally recommended to apply no cream for the first 24 hours so your body can naturally start its own healing process and to allow your skin to breathe before applying the protective layer of the aftercare.

Repeat the process!

- Repeat this process until your tattoo is fully healed 2-3 times a day. This procedure will need to be repeated for

up to 2 weeks.
