Aftercare
Looking after your new tattoo:
To ensure your tattoo heals correctly, the correct aftercare must be followed. Whilst every effort is made to ensure Midnight Pumpkin follows the strictest of hygiene rules and regulations, the way you care for your tattoo is just as important. New tattoos are susceptible to infection until fully healed and care of your tattoo is your responsibility.
- As soon as your tattoo is finished it will be dressed
- After 3-4 hours remove the dressing and wash with warm soapy water. Pat dry with a clean towel - do not rub!
- Apply a small amount of aftercare cream as recommended with clean dry hands, this will need to be repeated 3 times daily
- Do not pick or scratch your new tattoo - this will affect the end results!
- Do not soak in the bath, go swimming, use saunas, steam rooms etc whilst your tattoo is healing - this will affect the end results!
- Do not expose to the sun or sunbeds - even when your tattoo is healed sunlight can fade a tattoo!
- Do not expose your new tattoo to dirt, dust, oil or any other harmful substances - recover if necessary
Good aftercare of your tattoo will give you the best finish, and your new tattoo should heal in about 2 weeks.
