Proper tattoo aftercare is crucial to ensure optimal healing and long-term vibrancy of the tattoo. It helps prevent infections, promotes faster healing, and preserves the clarity and color of the artwork.
While Healing:
Avoid wearing skin-tight clothing over the tattoo.
Protect it from the sun by wearing sun protective clothing. Don't apply sunscreen until it's fully healed.
Avoid swimming or immersing yourself in water (showers are fine).
Don't scratch or rub the tattoo.
Second Skin after 1, 2 and 3 days.
Leave it on for 2 to 7 Days, depending on how long it naturally sticks.
A build up of blood or plasma (ink sack) is very normal! Please resist the urge to play with it, to avoid leaks or bursting.
To remove: Pull the corner of the film up and slowly pull. to stretch it out.
Leave it on for 3 to 5 hours.
Wash the tattoo gently one or twice a day with warm water and a fragrance free soap.
Apply your chosen aftercare product or balm, a few times a day. Don't let your tattoo dry out too much.
We reccommend Sk!n Tattoo Cream, which will moisturise and soothe the tattoo to keep it healthy and healing correctly.
It's available for purchase at both our locations.

All tattoos (except exclusions*) are covered by a FREE 3 month touch up policy.
The touch up must be booked and undertaken within three months of the original tattoo date.
The touchup must be undertaken by the original artist who did your tattoo.
The touch up cannot include extra add-on or design changes that were not included in the original tattoo.
To determine whether or not your tattoo needs a touch up - please send a DM to our Instagram account and send a photo of your fully healed tattoo!
A tattoo cannot be touched up until it is fully healed. Full healed usually is around 2-3 weeks.
Artists reserve the right to refuse a touch up if they determine that it is not necessary, or the touchup would negatively impact the outcome of the tattoo.
*Exclusions to the touch up policy are; tattoos on the fingers, hands, and feet, face and inner lip.
The reason these are not included is because these areas are prone to fading, and therefore are not a recommended placement for a long lasting tattoo.
Our artists are happy to touch them up, but these will incur a charge.
