10 Commandments of Aftercare

Ten Commandments of Tattoo Aftercare

1) Though shalt not listen to anyone other than the Tattoo Artist on how to look after the Tattoo.

2) Though shalt keep the clingfilm/dressing on the Tattoo for a minimum of 2 hours after the Tattoo has been wrapped.

3) Though shalt wash your hands and then the Tattoo with a non-perfumed/anti-bacterial soap and lukewarm water once you take the dressing off. 

4) Though shalt rinse the soapy water off with clean lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

5) Though shalt wait a few minutes for the Tattoo to air before applying cream or ointment to the Tattoo.

6) Though shalt apply recommended creams to the Tattoo, such as Bepanthen (Unless you have a lanolin allergy)/Palmers Coco Butter, or our Tattoo Aftercare product of choice INK DOCTOR Tattoo Care.

7) Though shalt not use creams such as Savlon or Vaseline during the healing process. Both of these creams cause excess scabbing and result in a loss of pigment, Savlon should only be used if there is an infection in the Tattoo.

8) Though shalt wash and cream the Tattoo 3 to 4 times daily. 

9) Though shalt avoid things such as sunbeds/direct sunlight, swimming pools, picking, or scratching the Tattoo during the healing process. You can of course wet the Tattoo, but a shower is the preferable option. 

10) Though shalt contact Venezia Tattoo should you have any queries regarding your Tattoo. It is better to ask and be sure rather than care for your Tattoo incorrectly.
