Ultimate Ink's Guide to Tattoo Aftercare:

DO:

Leave the dressing on the tattoo for around 1 hour before removing.

Wash with soap and water and rinse well. Pat dry the tattoo, do not rub it. Allow it to air dry for 10 min's.

Apply a very thin layer of recommended cream twice a day, using very sparingly.

Wear loose clothing that will not rub on the tattooed area.

DO NOT:

Pick or scratch at the tattoo while it is healing. Keep away from chemicals and dirt.

Do not swim or use sunbeds until the tattoo is fully healed.

Treat your tattoo as though it is a fresh wound, keep it clean, and always wash your hands before and after touching it.

Follow these steps and your tattoo will last for years to come.
