Dosage & Use

1. Initial Healing (First 24-48 hours):

Keep the Tattoo Covered: After your tattoo is done, your artist will cover it with a sterile bandage or cling film. Keep this covering on for the time recommended by your artist, typically between 2-6 hours.
First Wash: After removing the bandage, gently wash the tattoo using warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap (like a gentle antibacterial soap). Use your hands—avoid washcloths or anything abrasive.
Pat Dry: After washing, gently pat the tattoo dry with a clean paper towel or allow it to air dry. Do not rub the tattoo.

2. Applying Balm (First Few Days):

Frequency: Apply a thin layer of the Tattoo aftercare Balm 2-3 times a day, starting after the initial wash.
Application: Make sure your hands are clean before applying the balm. A little goes a long way—use a small amount and rub it in gently. You want to moisturize the tattoo without suffocating it.
Avoid Over-Moisturizing: Over-applying balm can clog pores and hinder the healing process. Use just enough to keep the skin moisturized but not greasy.

3. Ongoing Care (First 2-3 Weeks):

Wash Daily: Gently wash your tattoo once or twice a day with mild soap and warm water to keep it clean. Always pat it dry afterward.
Balm Application: Continue to apply the balm 2-3 times a day or as needed to keep the skin moisturized. Always apply after washing.
Avoid Direct Sunlight & Immersion: Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight and avoid soaking it in water (no swimming, baths, or hot tubs) until it is fully healed. Showers are fine.

4. General Tips:

Don’t Pick or Scratch: As your tattoo heals, it may start to peel or scab. Avoid picking at the skin, as this can cause scarring and damage to the tattoo.
Wear Loose Clothing: Try to wear loose, breathable clothing over your tattoo to prevent friction and allow the skin to breathe.

Always follow any specific aftercare instructions your tattoo artist provides, as they may have recommendations based on your particular tattoo and skin type.
