AFTERCARE

WEEKS 1-2

  • Wash your tattoo twice a day with unscented soap and lukewarm water.

  • Pat dry with a clean towel and apply a layer of Ink-Sential 3 times a day.

  • Keep it clean, lightly moisturised, and allow it to breathe.

WEEK 3

  • Wash gently once a day as needed.

  • Switch to a fragrance-free moisturiser instead of ointment, moisturise twice daily.

  • Keep the skin hydrated to reduce dryness and itch.

WEEK 4

  • Moisturise daily until the skin feels fully healed.

  • Some dryness or shine may remain — this is normal.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Mild oozing, flaking, or scabbing is part of the process.

  • Don’t pick, scratch, or peel — let it heal naturally.

WHAT TO AVOID

  • Tight clothing that rubs or sticks to the tattoo.

  • Swimming, baths, hot tubs, or the sea (at least 3 weeks).

  • Direct sun or sunbeds until fully healed.

  • Heavy sweating or intense exercise during week 1.
