Tattoo Aftercare – Octopi Ink

Tattoo Aftercare

To keep your brand new tattoo looking amazing, you need to properly care for it during and after the healing process. 

Wash.

Wash your tattoo thoroughly after removing the wrap with unscented antibacterial soap and warm water. Use hands only, no sponge, loofahs, rags, etc. Make sure to get all the extra ointment, blood, and plasma off of the skin, then rinse with warm (not hot) water. 

Dry.

Dry gently with a clean paper towel. Do not use a dirty towel or other fabrics. Anything like toilet paper that will leave behind loose fibers should not be used. Now air dry for around 10 minutes. 

Moisturize.

After your tattoo is good and dry, apply a THIN layer of ointment. You don’t want your tattoo to be too dry or too moist. Apply ointment with clean hands or gloves throughout the day as needed.
