Tattoo Aftercare Tips

Typical steps we recommend to take with your fresh tattoo to keep it clean and healing well. Our aftercare kits have these tips on them as well!

3-5 days in a warm shower

For plastic wrap, remove

within 1-3 hours and wash

the area immediately.

STEP TWO

After washing the area with

UNSCENTED soap, pat dry

with a clean paper towel, and

apply the Hustle Butter, or

other approved aftercare

lotion/balm.

STEP THREE

Wash the area and apply the

Hustle Butter (other

approved aftercare lotion/

balm) twice a day for three

weeks.

General things to keep in mind with your fresh tattoos as well as your healed tattoos.

Avoid touching new tattoos as much as you can but if you have to always keep your hands clean. Your body treats a tattoo like an open wound and if your hands are not clean it could cause infection.

Avoid direct sun exposure while healing, and always wear sunscreen after the tattoo heals.

Avoid excessive sweating (saunas, intense workouts etc.) for at least 3 weeks after a new tattoo.

Don’t soak your new tattoo in water (pools or baths) for at least 3 weeks.

Don’t pick or itch your tattoo. If the itchy feeling is too much we recommend gently patting the area with clean hands or over your clothes.

Please reach out to your artist directly with any questions or concerns about your healing process!
