Aftercare instructions

Welcome to Inkboiz' aftercare guide! Proper tattoo care is essential for healing and keeping it vibrant. Follow these steps to protect your investment and ensure it looks its best for years.

The most important thing

Keeping your new tattoo clean is the single most important thing you can do. Use mild, fragrance-free antibacterial soap and gently wash the area twice a day. This prevents infection and promotes proper healing.

The biggest mistake

Over-moisturizing is a common mistake. Applying too much lotion can suffocate the tattoo, trap bacteria, and hinder the healing process. Use a thin layer of fragrance-free lotion only when the tattoo feels dry and tight.

Returning to normal activities

Avoid swimming, soaking in baths, and strenuous workouts for at least two weeks, or until the tattoo is fully healed. These activities can introduce bacteria and excessive moisture, increasing the risk of infection and damaging the tattoo.
