Gently wash your tattoo with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap twice a day for the first 2 weeks.
Apply a thin layer of unscented moisturiser or specialist tattoo balm 2–3 times per day once the initial wrap is removed.
Keep your new tattoo out of direct sunlight and avoid swimming, baths, or soaking for at least 2 weeks.
As your tattoo heals it may peel or itch — this is normal. Do not pick or scratch as this can damage the ink.
Wear loose, breathable clothing over your new tattoo to avoid friction and irritation during the healing process.
If you have any concerns about healing, redness or swelling, don't hesitate to get in touch with Candi directly.
