How to care for your new tattoo

• After procedure, gently wipe off any body fluids w/ cotton pad or tissue. I will provide you with an aftercare kit after your session, you may apply this throughout your healing process (apply whenever your tattooed area feels dry).
• 24-48 hours after your procedure, you may gently splash lukewarm water onto tattoo and wipe clean with cotton ball/cotton pad 2-3 times a day



• For the first few days, the colour intensity of your procedure will be significantly darker, as well as larger and sharper than what is expected for the final outcome
• Around 5-10 days  the tattoo will begin to peel looking dry and flaky, it is important not to peel or pick at the excess skin  
• Although tattoo will appear healed after 10 days, it will not be fully healed for 4-6 weeks to reveal the actual colour, this is based on how quickly the outer layer of your skin exfoliates.
• One procedure does not guarantee desired outcome. In some cases, we need to see how our clients react to the pigment and review the dealing process after the first procedure. Therefore we recommend a touch-up visit within 1 months  of the first procedure.

What to expect :

What Not to do:

• DO NOT rub, scratch or pick any crust along the tattooed area. Easy removal of pigment crusts may result in lost colour.

• AVOID swimming, soaking, steam bath and facials for 1st week.
• Avoid sun exposure (including tanning beds) during healing process.
• DO NOT use exfoliants, retinol acids, or AHA’s on the area for 30 days after the appointment, it will fade your tattoo prematurely.
