Tattoo Aftercare

Thank you for visiting us at Flux Ink Tattoo Studio!

 

Please find information about your tattoo aftercare routine below:

 

• Keep your tattoo wrapped for 3 hours after your appointment.

• Wash hands thoroughly.

• After 3 hours take off the clingfilm and gently wash down with warm soapy water (unscented soap).

• Pat dry with kitchen towel and allow to air dry for 15 minutes.

• Apply a small amount of Palmers Cocoa Butter, just enough to cover the entire tattoo but not enough to be visible on the surface.

• Apply cream 2-3 times a day with dry hands.

• Don’t wear tight fitting clothes.

• Don’t pick scabs.

• Don’t soak your tattoo in water.

• No saunas/ swimming/ steam rooms/ sun-beds until your tattoo is fully healed.

• Wait for your tattoo to fully heal before applying sun cream.

• Tattoos should take around 2 weeks to heal after this you can stop with your aftercare.

 

Please ask your artist if you have any further questions about aftercare.
