Keep the wrap on
Leave the first wrap on for the time advised by your artist. Do not remove it early in public or dusty spaces.
Everything you need to protect your tattoo and piercing while it heals cleanly, comfortably and beautifully.
Fresh tattoos and piercings are open healing work. The result depends on how cleanly you care for them, how much friction you avoid, and whether you follow the timeline shared by your artist or piercer.
Use this guide as a practical reference, and always follow the specific instructions given during your appointment.
Keep it clean, keep it calm, and do not rush the healing process.
Leave the first wrap on for the time advised by your artist. Do not remove it early in public or dusty spaces.
Gently wash the tattoo with mild fragrance-free soap and clean water. Pat dry with a fresh paper towel.
Apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare balm. Too much product can block the skin and slow healing.
Wear loose clothing and avoid friction. Your tattoo needs clean air, patience and gentle care.
Piercings heal from the outside and inside at different speeds. Be patient, avoid pressure, and never change jewellery too early.
Avoid rotating, pulling or playing with jewellery. Movement irritates the channel and can delay healing.
Use sterile saline or the cleaning method recommended by your piercer. Keep soaps, perfumes and makeup away.
Do not sleep on fresh ear piercings or wear tight clothing over body piercings. Pressure causes swelling and bumps.
Some piercings need jewellery downsizing after swelling reduces. Visit the studio before changing jewellery yourself.
Tattoo: Tender, warm and slightly swollen skin is normal.
Piercing: Mild swelling, sensitivity and light crusting can happen.
Tattoo: Flaking and itching may start. Keep care gentle.
Piercing: Continue saline care and avoid pressure or snagging.
Tattoo: Surface healing improves, but skin still needs sun protection.
Piercing: Do not rush jewellery changes. Healing continues inside.
Tattoo: Use sunscreen to protect detail and colour.
Piercing: Follow downsizing and jewellery advice from your piercer.
Yes, short clean showers are fine. Avoid soaking, swimming and high-pressure water directly on the fresh tattoo or piercing.
Peeling is normal. Do not pick or scratch. Keep the skin lightly moisturized and let flakes fall naturally.
Light crusting can be normal. Soften it with sterile saline and clean gently. Do not force it off with nails.
