What to Expect & How to Care for Your Tattoo

Days 1–2: Protect & Nourish

✔️ Gently cleanse the area morning and night using a mild, fragrance-free cleanser like Cetaphil.
✔️ Pat dry with a clean paper towel—no rubbing!
✔️ Apply a thin layer of the provided aftercare cream—stick to this product only!

Days 2–4: Don’t Be Alarmed!

✔️ The color may appear darker and bolder than expected—this is temporary.

Days 5–8: The Itchy Phase

✔️ Some flaking and itching may occur—resist the urge to pick, peel, or scratch!

Days 9–10: Trust the Process

✔️ The treated area may look lighter or slightly faded—this is normal! The color will even out as your skin continues to heal.

Day 14+: Almost There!

✔️ Your tattoo is settling beautifully, but deeper healing is still in progress.

Day 30: Your Final Results Appear

✔️ The skin is fully healed, and the true color of your tattoo will be visible.

Do’s & Don’ts for the First 10 Days

🚫 Avoid:
❌ Sweating (no intense workouts!)
❌ Makeup on the treated area
❌ Pools, saunas, or soaking in water
❌ Oily products, lotions, or moisturizers
❌ Direct sun exposure
❌ Touching or scratching the area

💡 Pro Tip: Keep the area as dry as possible and try sleeping on your back to prevent rubbing off pigment.

Why Your Tattoo Changes Day-to-Day

✨ Right after the procedure: The pigment may look bold and slightly red—this fades quickly.
✨ Days 7–10: The color may appear lighter, patchy, or uneven—don’t panic! This is part of the healing process.
✨ 10–12 weeks later: A touch-up session perfects the shape and color.

Long-Term Care for Vibrant, Lasting Results

✔️ Once healed, apply SPF 30–50 on the treated area to prevent fading.
✔️ Remember, everyone heals differently based on factors like age, skin type, and lifestyle.
