• Keep it clean: Gently wash with mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water.
• Pat dry: Use a clean paper towel. Do not rub.
• Moisturize: Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free, unscented lotion when the tattoo feels dry.
• Don’t pick or scratch: Peeling and light scabbing are normal.
• Avoid soaking: No pools, baths, hot tubs, or swimming until fully healed.
• Avoid direct sun: Keep your tattoo covered from the sun while healing. Wear clean, loose clothing to prevent rubbing and irritation.
• Let it heal: Most tattoos take about 2–4 weeks to heal on the surface.

Some redness, tenderness, swelling, peeling, and mild itching are normal while a tattoo heals. Contact a healthcare professional if you notice:

• Redness or swelling that gets worse instead of better
• Increasing warmth, severe pain, or tenderness
• Pus, foul-smelling drainage, or significant oozing
• Red streaks spreading away from the tattoo
• Fever, chills, or feeling generally unwell
• A rash, severe itching, or swelling that spreads beyond the tattoo
• Difficulty breathing, facial/throat swelling, or other signs of a severe allergic reaction — seek emergency care immediately

When in doubt, it’s better to have a concerning tattoo checked by a medical professional.
