Tattoo Aftercare Dos and Don’ts

Dos:

  • Do wash your hands thoroughly before touching your tattoo.
  • Do keep your tattoo clean and dry throughout the healing process.
  • Do wear loose clothing to prevent rubbing or friction on the tattoo.
  • Do keep your tattoo out of the sun, as UV rays can fade the ink.
  • Do continue moisturizing your tattoo until it’s fully healed.
  • Do keep the tattoo area elevated if you notice excessive swelling.



Don’ts:

  • Don’t scratch, pick, or peel the scabs off your tattoo.
  • Don’t submerge the tattoo in water (e.g., no swimming, hot tubs, or baths) for at least 3-4 weeks.
  • Don’t expose your tattoo to direct sunlight or tanning beds during the healing period.
  • Don’t use harsh, scented soaps, or products with alcohol on your tattoo.
  • Don’t wear tight, restrictive clothing over the tattoo that could cause irritation or rubbing.


Tattoo Aftercare Cleaning Process

Your new tattoo is a piece of art that you’ll carry with you for a lifetime. Proper aftercare is essential to ensure it heals correctly, looks great, and remains vibrant. At Lucky Seven Tattoo LLC, we provide all our clients with the knowledge they need to care for their tattoos properly. Below is a detailed guide to help you through the healing process.

1. Keep It Covered

  • Timeframe: Leave the bandage or plastic wrap on your tattoo for the first 2-4 hours. This helps protect it from bacteria and keeps it clean right after your session.
  • How to do it: After your artist removes the initial covering, you may need to cover the tattoo again, especially if you’re going out in public or if you’re worried about dirt or bacteria. Use a sterile, breathable bandage like Saniderm for protection.

2. Gently Wash Your Tattoo

  • Timeframe: After you remove the covering (usually within a few hours), gently wash your tattoo.
  • How to do it: Use lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap (preferably anti-bacterial). Gently lather the soap onto your tattoo using your hands—avoid using a washcloth or anything abrasive.
  • Important Note: Do not scrub your tattoo; instead, gently clean away any excess ink, blood, or plasma.

3. Pat Dry, Don’t Rub

  • Timeframe: After washing, gently pat the tattoo dry with a clean, soft towel or paper towel. Never rub it.
  • Why: Rubbing can irritate the skin and disturb the healing process, so always be gentle.

4. Apply Aftercare Ointment

  • Timeframe: Apply a thin layer of tattoo aftercare ointment (like Hustle Butter Deluxe, Aquaphor, or Tattoo Goo) immediately after washing and drying the tattoo.
  • How to do it: You only need a small amount—just enough to lightly coat the tattoo. Over-moisturizing can clog pores and slow down healing, so less is more.

5. Keep It Moisturized

  • Timeframe: After the initial ointment stage (the first 2-3 days), switch to a fragrance-free moisturizer.
  • How to do it: Apply a light layer of moisturizer throughout the healing process, but do not over-apply.

Healing Process: What to Expect

1. The First Few Days (0-3 Days):

  • Your tattoo will be red, swollen, and tender. This is normal and part of the healing process. You may also see a thin layer of plasma or ink residue around the tattoo.
  • Tip: Make sure the tattoo stays clean and moisturized to prevent scabbing. Try not to touch it with dirty hands.


2. Peeling and Flaking (4-10 Days):

  • As the tattoo heals, it will begin to peel and flake, similar to the way sunburn skin sheds. This is a natural part of the healing process.
  • Tip: Don’t pick or scratch the tattoo. Let it flake off naturally to avoid disturbing the tattoo.


3. Fully Healed (2-4 Weeks):

  • At this point, the outer layer of skin will be fully healed, but the tattoo may still be healing beneath the surface. Your tattoo may look a bit dull or faded during this phase.
  • Tip: Continue moisturizing until the tattoo is fully healed. Avoid sun exposure and swimming for at least 3-4 weeks.
