Cosmetic Tattoo Aftercare & Healing Made Simple

Your cosmetic tattoo is on its way to looking amazing! Here’s an easy-to-follow guide to care for it and understand what to expect during the 4–6 week healing process.

• Days 1–2:

  • Gently clean the treated area morning and night with a mild cleanser like Cetaphil.

  • Pat dry with a clean paper towel (no rubbing!).

  • Apply a thin layer of the provided aftercare cream—no other products allowed!

• Days 2–4:

  • The area may look darker and more intense than you imagined—don’t panic, it’s normal.

• Days 5–8:

  • You might experience some itching or flaking (it’s hard, but don’t pick, peel, or scratch!).

• Days 9–10:

  • The area might look waxy or faded—don’t worry, the color will settle beautifully.

• Day 14+:

  • The color starts to even out and look more natural, but deeper healing is still happening.

• Day 30:

  • Fully healed skin, and the true results shine through!

Important Do’s & Don’ts for the First 10 Days:

🚫 Avoid:

• Sweating

• Makeup

• Soaking (like pools or baths)

• Oils or moisturizers

• Sun exposure

• Touching the treated area

💧 Keep the area as dry as possible and try sleeping on your back to avoid rubbing off the pigment.

Why It Looks Different Day-to-Day

• Right after the procedure, the pigment may look bold or slightly red-tinged—it fades fast.

• Around days 7–10, the area might appear lighter, uneven, or like it’s faded. This is normal!

• A touch-up at 10–12 weeks helps perfect the shape and color.

Long-Term Love for Your Tattoo:

• Once healed, use SPF 30–50 on the treated area when in the sun to keep the color vibrant.

Everyone heals differently depending on factors like skin regeneration and age. By following this guide, you’ll give your tattoo the best chance to heal beautifully! 💕
