Aftercare…. Why is it so important
You’ve just been tattooed and you love it but its not over yet…… the aftercare process is so important to the healing of your tattoo
Firstly Self care
Food - food is so important after you’ve been tattooed and this is because your body has been through the mill whether its a small tattoo or a full day session chances are that your body sugar levels have dipped with the adrenaline and you need to replace these sugars to give your tattoo the best chance of healing perfect.
Water - It is absolutely vital that you keep your body hydrated after being tattooed.
Rest - Take it easy this is important whilst the body works hard to heal. It is advised that you avoid over exerting yourself so it is a good idea to plan ahead so you know you have no prior commitments.
So eat the food you want, drink plenty and put those feet up and chill….. you’ve earned it.
Now for the tattoo itself
After your session the artist will advise you on the relevant aftercare for your tattoo.
It is important that you follow the advice to the letter as any mishaps could be detrimental to the healing of your tattoo. Lots of artists advise differently (for example different creams) so listen to YOUR artist, they tattooed you and they know just how to look after your new tattoo throughout the healing process. They care that the tattoo heals well just as much as you do, after all your wearing their artwork.
Within the studio the phrase I hear most of all is “keep it clean”" keep it creamed and don’t let it dry out or scab”
And once your healed send our artists a photo of your tattoo they love to see their work healed :)
