Tattoo Aftercare Information...
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Looking after your tattoo is just as important as the tattooing process, if you would like yours to heal well, please follow these instructions:
-
Keep the cling film on for at least 3 hours if possible
-
After this time remove cling film, use clean hands, warm water and antibacterial soap to remove excess ink
-
Always use a shower, never soak in the bath
-
Allow to air dry or use a clean towel (no sharing) – make sure the tattoo is completely dry
-
Following this apply a thin layer of Tattoo aftercare for the next two weeks - please do this 4-6 times a day after washing your tattoo with clean hands, do not smother the tattoo with cream
-
It is recommended to wrap your tattoo in cling film at night for 2-3 nights, no longer. This is to protect your tattoo from drying out and sticking to bedsheets
-
We sell Butterluxe balm and soap on site for £5 a tub/bar

A tattoo is open wound and will become itchy when healing, do not scratch
