TATTOO AFTRECARE

Thanks for the trust in us. Hope you enjoyed your session at Restless Monkey Clan Tattoos and are thrilled with your new ink.

The big portion of your tattoo is already over, but the healing part is equally important. Your tattoo is like a superficial injury, and you must treat it with the same seriousness

Immediate care

• Leave the bandage/Cling film on for 2 hours
• Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the tattoo
• Remove the bandage after 2 hours and wash your tattoo with cold water and mild antibacterial soap (Create a lather and wash gently. Don’t rub) Let it air dry 

First week

• Keep your tattoo clean
• Apply a thin layer of Fusidic Acid IP or recommended tattoo aftercare cream 3-4 times a day
• Avoid sweating and sun exposure
• Avoid soaking your fresh tattoo. In chlorine water- swimming pool, tub, etc
• Showering is fine. Use any mild antibacterial soap on your tattoo area
• Keep your fresh tattoo away from the licks of pets and the touch of over-inquisitive people

Depending on your health status the healing process might take a week or more. You hydrate well, have immunity-boosting food, and avoid anything that can trigger a known allergic reaction

After a week or so, the upper layer of skin will scab off. This is part of your healing process. It might itch during this phase. Don’t scratch

Following weeks 

• The fresh skin over your tattoo that just healed might look shiny and unnatural.
• Moisturize regularly to regain the natural texture of your skin
• Stay out of direct sunlight to avoid sun damage
• Wear loose clothing to prevent irritation 

If you see any signs of infection like persistent redness, swelling, or pus, consult a health care professional.

Following these steps will ensure your tattoo heals beautifully and stay glowing for years to come. Enjoy your Ink

Long term care
Continue Moisturizing your skin to keep the tattoo fresh.
Have you seen the black tattoos that turn greenish after a few years? That’s loss of color due to sun damage.
Sunscreen helps. Make good quality sunscreen a habit when going out with an exposed tattoo.

Happy Tattooing
