Your aftercare guide
The healing process is an important part of getting a new tattoo, and following the right steps ensures your artwork stays vibrant and your skin stays healthy. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you every step of the way.

Read over the paper handout for proper instructions of after care that you will receive from our artists.
How to clean and care for my new tattoo?
Using non-scented soaps and lotions is key. When cleaning, never scrub your tattoo; instead, pat it gently and rinse, then pat dry. Apply moisturizer two times a day to keep it hydrated.
What products and activities should I avoid?
Avoid scented lotions, soaps, perfumes, scratchy clothing, and Vaseline. We recommend Aquaphor and only non-scented soaps and lotions for the best healing results.
When should I be concerned about my tattoo?
Look out for excessive pain or discomfort, unusual irritation, or changing colors of the skin or tattoo. If you have any concerns, please call or email us or consult your doctor.

Your new tattoo is a work of art, and we want it to look its best for years to come. By following these aftercare instructions, you're investing in the longevity and vibrancy of your body art. Don't hesitate to reach out to F&BTats if you have any questions during your healing process.
