Aftercare
Look after your tattoo.
Simple guidance to help your tattoo heal properly.
First 24 Hours
Follow the instructions given at the studio regarding the initial covering. Keep the area clean and avoid unnecessary touching.
Washing
Wash your hands first. Gently clean the tattoo with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. Do not scrub. Pat dry with a clean paper towel or allow it to air dry.
Moisturising
Once the tattoo is clean and dry, apply a very thin layer of suitable fragrance-free moisturiser. Avoid applying too much product.
What to Avoid
Avoid soaking the tattoo, swimming, saunas, direct sun exposure, picking, scratching and tight clothing rubbing against the area while it heals.
During Healing
Some dryness, flaking and mild itching can occur during the healing process. Do not pick at peeling skin or scabs.
When to Get in Touch
If you are unsure about anything during healing, contact Cioffi Tattoo for guidance. If you have concerns about infection, severe swelling, worsening pain or another medical issue, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
