Aftercare Advice
Your new tattoo is more than just ink, it’s a little piece of art you get to carry with you forever. To keep it looking bold, beautiful, and healing like a dream, Jasmine has put together some simple aftercare tips. Follow these steps and your tattoo will thank you for years to come.
Keep it Clean
- Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your tattoo.
- Gently wash your tattoo with mild, fragrance-free soap and lukewarm water. Avoid scrubbing.
- Pat your tattoo dry with a clean paper towel or let it air dry. Do not rub.
Apply a Thin Layer of Ointment
- After washing, apply a thin layer of fragrance-free tattoo aftercare ointment recommended by Jasmine.
- Apply the ointment 2–3 times a day for the first few days, or as instructed.
Keep it Moisturized
- After the initial healing period, switch to a fragrance-free, unscented moisturiser. Apply regularly to keep the skin hydrated.
Avoid Direct Sunlight and Swimming
- Protect your tattoo from direct sunlight to prevent fading and skin damage.
- Avoid swimming or soaking your tattoo in water for at least 2 weeks or until fully healed.
Don't Pick or Scratch
- Resist the urge to scratch or pick at your tattoo, as this can lead to scarring and color loss.
- If itching persists, gently tap or slap the area to alleviate the sensation.
Wear Loose Clothing
- Opt for loose, breathable clothing to avoid friction and irritation on your tattooed skin.
Stay Hydrated and Eat Well
- Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.
- Maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support the healing process.
Follow Up with Jasmine
- Schedule a follow-up appointment with The Inked Edit if needed for inspection and touch-ups.
