After Care

With all Cosmetic Tattoos the colour will appear 20 - 30% darker for the first few days and, due to slight swelling, your tattoo may not look straight. After 5 - 7 days the swelling will subside and the colour will settle. Any imperfections will be corrected at your perfection treatment 4 - 6 weeks later. You need the second treatment for all cosmetic Tattooing!

With all procedures, it is important that you do not rub, pick or pull at the area while it is healing. If the area becomes itchy, apply more Bepanthen. At night, I recommend using satin pillow slip to avoid skin catching on fibers.

Your tattoo must be kept moist. This will take around 5 - 7 days. After 3 hours of your tattoo completion, you will need to apply a thin layer of Bepanthen cream (available at a Chemist or local supermarket) to your tattoo 3 - 5 times per day. Ensure your hands and working space are clean before you begin. Remove the previous application CAREFULLY with damp cotton wool - do_not rub. Dab dry with a clean tissue. Gently reapply a thin layer using a new, clean cotton bud. The cotton wool must be damp not wet! Or else it takes out too much colour. Avoid direct water on the area (swimming/spa/showering) for 5-7 days during healing. Those in areas with chlorinated water will need to be mindful of this when showering. My advice is to continue avoiding direct contact even after healing is complete to help prolong the life of the pigment. When shampooing your hair, please shower & take shampoo off backwards to avoid chemicals on your new cosmetic tattooing.
