Aftercare Procedure
for Tattoos
Leave
the dressing in place for approx 1 hour, then remove and gently
wipe away any excess ointment. Gently wash with warm soapy
water and pat dry, do not rub dry.
Massage a
small amount of Vitamin A&D enriched ointment, Vaseline
or E45 cream into the tattoo and cover with cling film about
half an hour after removing the original dressing.
Leave the
cling film in place 24 hours a day, changing it once a day
after washing and re applying A&D Cream, Vaseline or E45.
Continue this for 5 days after which time the tattoo should
be virtually healed. The cling film tricks the body into thinking
that there is no wound, so excessive scabbing is avoided.
Should your
tattoo scab do not pick it as it will damage the end result.
Do not use
any other cream apart from A&D cream, Vaseline or E45
unless you purchase a dedicated tattoo aftercare cream such
as tattoo goo.
Shower rather
than bath for the first week and avoid prolonged soaking of
the tattoo.
Avoid the
sea, swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi sun beds and direct sunlight
for the first week.
Any spotty
rashes around the tattoo may indicate that you are applying
too much Ointment.
If tattoo needs recolouring,
we will do it free of charge within 2 months of procedure
on production of business card.
