Your tattoo or piercing is only as good as how you heal it. Follow these guidelines, and reach out anytime if you have questions.

Tattoo Aftercare

• Leave the bandage on as directed by your artist (usually a few hours, or overnight for second-skin wraps).
• Wash gently with lukewarm water and a fragrance-free soap; pat dry.
• Apply a thin layer of unscented healing ointment 2–3x daily.
• For 2–3 weeks: no picking or scratching scabs, no direct sun, no pools, oceans, or long baths.
• Keep it clean and moisturized. Surface healing takes 2–4 weeks.

Piercing Aftercare

• Clean 2x daily with sterile saline spray — do NOT use alcohol or peroxide.
• Don’t twist, rotate, or play with the jewelry.
• Keep makeup, lotions, and dirty hands away from the site.
• Avoid pools, hot tubs, and oceans until healed.
• Healing times vary: lobes ~6–8 weeks, cartilage and body piercings 3–6+ months.
