Bathing


It is okay to bathe on the day of tattooing, however, please refrain from keeping the tattooed area ​submerged for extended periods and from vigorous towel drying.


Alcohol


Drinking of alcohol increases blood flow and with this the risk of bleeding and ink seepage. For this reason, ​please minimise alcohol consumption on the day of tattooing.


Sports


If prior to all scabbing’s having naturally healed the tattooed area becomes infected or the scab dislodged, ​there is a

risk of pigment seepage. For this reason, please refrain from vigorous sports activity or physical training.


Sunbathing


Although it takes around 2-4 weeks for scabbing to heal and skin to form over the tattooed area, this ​varies between

individuals. For this period please refrain from using saunas, swimming pools and from bathing in the sea.


Healing


After tattooing, either the tattooist concerned or a member of staff will explain the aftercare procedure. If ​you have any queries regarding aftercare please contact the shop.
