After Care

Caring for your new tattoo:

After we have finished your tattoo we will wrap it up in cling wrap. Leave the cling wrap on till you get home, then remove it and wash the Tattoo with warm water ( showering is the easiest method ). Make sure the water isn't too hot, and clean by rubbing a little soap in your hand and gently washing the tattoo. Pat dry with a towel and apply some Protat Aftercare cream ( we have tried and tested various creams and lotions for tattoo after care and found from experience that Protat Aftercare gives the best results, which is why we recommend and keep it in stock ). Re-wrap your tattoo with cling wrap and repeat this process for about 4 days.

Your new tattoo will take approximately 7 days to heal, during that time it is important to keep it dry, which means keeping it out of the bath, ocean, swimming pools, spas etc. The only time your tattoo should get wet is in the shower.

We have done our best to make your tattoo look great and now it is up to you to take care of it. The sun is your tattoo's worst enemy, and getting the area of your body with the tattoo regularly burnt will cause your tattoo to fade and become dull. The more you look after your tattoo the better it will look.
