01
Keep it clean
Wash gently with clean hands, lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap. Pat it dry rather than rubbing.
KEEP IT CLEAN · LET IT SETTLE
Help your tattoo heal well.
A new tattoo needs clean hands, a light touch and a little patience. Here is the guidance to keep close while it heals.
02
Use a thin layer
Too much product can make the skin feel heavy. Apply a small amount and give the tattoo room to breathe.
03
Protect it from sun
Keep a healing tattoo out of direct sun. Once healed, use a high SPF whenever the area is exposed.
