• Avoid picking, scratching, tight clothing, or friction on the area.
• Avoid soaking the tattoo (baths, pools, hot tubs) and avoid saunas/steam rooms.
• Keep out of direct sunlight and avoid sunbeds; once healed use high SPF to protect the tattoo.

• Looking after your tattoo with a great routine for the next 4-5 weeks will only ensure your tattoo heals great & will keep it looking better for longer!
