- Remove dressing after 1 hour then gently wash tattoo with warm soapy water and pat tattoo dry. DO NOT RUB.
- Do not apply any dressing to your new tattoo but you may apply a thin layer of E45 cream, Sudacrem or a lighter option being Aloe Vera & purified water based gel.
- After 36 hours or so the new tattoo will begin to gently dry out and start to form a dry layer on the tattooed area, known as 'scabbing'.
- DO NOT SCRATCH OR PICK at your new tattoo as you will pick out the pigment in the tattoo before it heals into the skin.
- It will take 2-3 weeks for your tattoo to completely heal, during this period you may apply cream at 24 hour intervals.
- Ensure you keep your tattoo clean and free from grease, oil, dirt etc. washing daily as usual until tattoo has healed fully
