Healing Guide
AFTERCARE
Proper aftercare is essential for your tattoo to heal beautifully and maintain vibrant colour. Follow these guidelines for the best results.
Keep your bandage on for 2-3 hours. When you remove it, gently wash with unscented soap and lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel. Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturiser or healing balm. Avoid touching, picking, or exposing to sunlight.
- Remove bandage after 2-4 hours (or as instructed by your artist)
- Gently wash with lukewarm water and unscented antibacterial soap
- Pat dry with a clean paper towel — never rub
- Apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare ointment
- Avoid submerging in water (no baths, pools, or saunas)
These are general guidelines. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your artist at Two of Swords Tattoo, as aftercare may vary based on tattoo size, location, skin type, and ink used. If you experience unusual redness, swelling, or signs of infection, contact your artist or a healthcare provider immediately.
