Cosmetic Tattoo Aftercare

Important 5 for 5

1. Do not wet your tattoo for 5 days

2. Do not get makeup or skincare on or near your tattoo for 5 days

3. Do not touch your tattoo with your fingers for 5 days

4. Apply your aftercare cream 2-5 times a day for 5 days with a cotton tip, not your fingers

5. Avoid sweating for 5 days

6. Gently wipe your brows with a damp cotton round every hour for the first 24 - 48 hours as advised by your tattoo artist.

Remember: This is a 2 stage process, the adjustment session will correct shape, thickness, gaps, colour, depth, length, fullness and balance

Important notes on what is normal to expect

• Your tattoo will weep for the first 24 to 48 hours
  (You need to wipe this off to avoid crusting, then re-apply aftercare cream)

• Your tattoo will go much darker within the first 24 hours.
  (This is temporary)

• You may get a headache the day of your treatment
  (Yes, you can take Panadol)

• Your tattoo will shrink approximately 2mm within 3 to 5 days

• Your tattoo can fade up to 80% by the end of the first week

• Your brows may become very itchy as they heal
  (Avoid scratching!)

• Your tattoo may be or become uneven and gappy by the end of the first week
  (It is advised to correct with pencil at this stage until the touch up - from day 6)
