Aftercare
Post - Appointment recommendations:
Tattoos take roughly a month to heal so many activities are recommended to pause: bathing/ swimming/ exercising for that duration to ensure it heals best
- When using second skin I recommend removing within 24 hours, it may cause irritation (burning/ excess itching) and when experiencing this, please remove with clean hands under warm water
- Cleansing and moisturizing 3-5x a day with a non-scented water based cleanser, avoiding antibacterial and aloe products ( I recommend cetaphil or cerave)
- Avoiding direct sunlight as it may cause pain and healing complications
- Avoid bodies of water where you are soaking the tattoo
- limit exercise in the tattooed area for a week to avoid sweating and excess movement of the skin
- No sunscreen for 4 weeks
- Avoid tight/ constricting clothing for a week
Healed Photos / Scheduling a retouch
Retouching previous tattoos are always free, you may send me an email with a healed photo attached and dates/ day and time of the week that works best for you and I will get back to you as soon as I can!
