THE BURNING EYE TATTOO

Take Care of Your New Tattoo

 

Keep your tattoo covered for at least 3 hours.
Once you remove the plastic film, wash the area gently with clean hands using lukewarm water and a
mild, fragrance-free soap.
Pat it dry gently with a clean paper towel – do not rub.
Apply a thin layer of the recommended healing ointment or cream.

Do not reapply the plastic film after removing it.
Wash your tattoo twice a day and apply a thin layer of cream 3 to 4 times a day, especially during the
first 3 to 4 days.
Keep your tattoo clean at all times.

Healing Process
Continue this routine throughout the healing process. Healing time varies from person to person, but
the initial healing process usually takes around 2 to 3 weeks.
Your tattoo may scab and peel as it heals. Do not scratch or pick at the scabs, as this can cause
scarring, affect the healing process, or damage the tattoo.
Do not exfoliate the tattoo or use scrubs, exfoliating acids, or other irritating skincare products on the
area while it is healing.

Clothing and Materials
Avoid wearing woollen, tight, rough, or abrasive clothing or materials over the tattooed area, as they
can rub against the skin and cause irritation.

Swimming and Soaking
Avoid swimming or soaking the tattoo in bathtubs, swimming pools, lakes, or the sea for a minimum of
2 weeks and until the tattoo is fully healed.

Avoid Direct Sun Exposure
Keep your tattoo out of direct sunlight until it is fully healed.
Once healed, always apply a high-SPF sunscreen (SPF 50 recommended) to help preserve its
colour and detail and protect your skin from UV damage.

 

Please note: We are not responsible for poor healing if these aftercare guidelines are not followed.
