Tattoo Removal Aftercare
(48-Hour Downtime)
For The First 2 Days:
- Take lukewarm showers only.
- Gently rinse the tattoo with water (no soap).
- Apply Vaseline twice daily (morning & night) until the skin has healed.
- Cool the area when you get home if it feels swollen or uncomfortable — use a cold pack or wrapped ice (never apply ice directly to the skin).
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- No heavy sweating (e.g. gym, running, hot yoga).
- No swimming in pools or the ocean. If needed, cover the area with Vaseline.
- Do not pop blisters or scratch if it gets itchy.
After 2 Days:
- You can return to your normal routine.
- Always apply sunblock if the area will be exposed.
Additional Tips:
- Wear loose clothing over the area to avoid rubbing.
- If you notice signs of infection (increased redness, pus, or warmth), please contact me or your GP.
