Aftercare For Your Tattoo

For Quick Healing, the key is care, attunement, and patience.

 

Everyone heals at their own pace but expect at least 2 weeks.

 

1. After 3 days, remove the clear bandage

Wash with warm water and mild soap. Allow for the skin to breathe and let the tattoo start healing on its own.

​

2. Apply a thin film of coconut oil

Or any other organic oil from the Earth, 3 times a day for the next 3 days. After 3 days, apply moisturizer once a day, or whenever remembering, until skin returns to its pre-tattoo condition.

 

3. Do not soak your tattoo in water

Avoid the tub, sauna, Jacuzzi or swimming while your new tattoo is healing. Showers are fine.


4. Avoid extreme sun exposure

Over years, sunlight can and will fade your tattoo. This can be minimized by using a strong sunscreen, at least SP25, or simply organic coconut oil.


5. Monitor signs or symptoms

Such as fluid discharge, and/or fever. Rest assured, these are very unlikely to happen.

 

6. Your tattoo may get itchy

If so, gently apply coconut oil, or other natural moisturizers. The itch will be soothed. Do not rub or pick the treated area while it is healing. Be gentle with yourself.
