Please keep the pad your tattoo artist put on your fresh tattoo, for the rest of evening and night after tattoo session. On the next day, first thing in the morning , remove the pad using clean hands, wash the tattoo with warm water and antibacterial soap to remove excess ink and plasma, and rinse it with cold water. To dry the tattoo after washing use a clean single use paper towel (always dab dry, never rub over the tattoo). Give your tattoo 15 mins to air dry completely. After that use cream/balm to moisturise the tattooed area. Always wash the tattoo in a shower, never soak in the bath.
When you're at home , there is no need of covering your fresh tattoo as air helps the healing process. Just please make sure there is no dried plasma. You should wash your tattoo every 4/5 hours , repeating the cleaning, drying, moisturising as before. If the tattoo is still "leaking with plasma" you can loosely cover it with the second pad provided or cling film for the second night.
DAY 2/3: Repeat the cleaning process every morning and 2/3 times during the day. If the tattoo is still “leaking” give it an extra 24 hours of air dry (no cream/no water), just let it dry out.
AFTER 5/7 DAYS: Tattoo might start to peel off. This means top layer of the skin, that was damaged during the tattooing process will dry and form tiny flakes. This is a natural process and it usually stops after a week. During this time clean your tattoo 2/3 times
Following this, wash your tattoo and apply a thin layer of balm/cream twice a day for the next 2 weeks.
