New Tattoo Aftercare: Complete Guide

Lucifer Tattoo

Proper aftercare is crucial for your tattoo to heal correctly and maintain its vibrancy for years. Follow these guidelines from our expert artists.

First 24-48 Hours

Keep the protective film on for 2-4 hours. After removal, gently wash with lukewarm water and unscented antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Apply a thin layer of recommended healing cream.

First Two Weeks

Wash your tattoo 2-3 times daily. Apply healing cream after each wash. Avoid submerging in water (pools, sea, bathtub). Keep out of direct sunlight. Don't scratch or pick at scabs. Wear loose, breathable clothing over the area.

Long-term Care

Always apply high SPF sunscreen when exposing your tattoo to sun. Keep your skin moisturized. Avoid rapid weight changes that could distort the design. Touch-ups may be needed after healing - we offer free touch-ups within 3 months.
