IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Looking after your tattoo is just as important as the tattooing process, if you would like yours to heal well, please follow these instructions:
1)Tattoo skin method
I will put a special tattoo skin cover on your tattoo in most cases, if I use this on you please keep this cover on for 12-24 hours.
If you have any excessive redness/heat or swelling in this time, remove the dressing & contact me or your gp to check for allergy/infection.
After this time please use hustle butter or cocoa butter sparingly 4 times a day for the first two weeks.
OR If you have allergies to tape/plasters please use the clingfilm method below:
2)Cling film method
- keep your cling film on for the first hour of your tattoo when travelling home from your appointment.
- After this time remove cling film, use clean hands,warm water and antibacterial soap to remove excess ink
- Always use a shower, never soak in the bath
- Allow to air dry or use a clean towel (no sharing) – make sure the tattoo is completely dry
- Clean your tattoo every 3 hours, rewrapping with fresh clingfilm each time
- Do this for a minimum of three days & nights, do not clingfilm for longer
- Following this apply a thin layer of Hustle Butteror cocoa butter for the next two weeks - please do this three times a day with clean hands, do not smother the tattoo with cream
- We have aftercare butters and soap available in the studio
NOTE TO ALL CLIENTS
A tattoo is open wound and will become itchy when healing, do not scratch
- Do not use fake tan, perfume or cosmetics on your tattoo
- Do not go swimming or use a sunbed for two weeks after getting the tattoo
