Tattoo Aftercare

After getting your tattoo, keep the wrapping on for a few hours if you can. Gently wash with lukewarm water and mild fragrance-free soap, then pat dry and apply a thin layer of 8 Ball Aftercare.
In the first few days, wash your tattoo gently twice daily and apply Aftercare after each wash. Be aware that some ink and blood plasma may leak; this is normal, but the ink stains won't come out easily. So I suggest sleep in black clothing that covers the tattoo, or even black bed sheets.
Protect your tattoo from still water, like bathtubs, pools, and the ocean is you enemy, as they can harbor bacteria. Use common sense to avoid exposing your tattoo to any unclean environments.
As peeling begins, continue washing and applying Aftercare. Resist scratching any itch, though you might be cheeky and give it a gentle slap instead for relief! You will just look like a junkie.
Don't worry if your tattoo seems a bit dull or flaky; it's a normal part of settling in. Continue using Aftercare to preserve its brightness.
Always protect your new art from the sun, and if you have questions or need advice, feel free to reach out!
