Healing Your Tattoo
Your tattoo is a permanent piece of art, and proper aftercare is crucial to ensure it heals beautifully and maintains its vibrancy for years to come. The healing process typically takes 2-4 weeks, during which your tattoo is essentially an open wound that requires careful attention and care.
Following these aftercare guidelines will help prevent infection, minimize scabbing, reduce the risk of color loss, and ensure your tattoo looks as stunning as the day you got it. Think of aftercare as the final step in your tattoo journey—it's just as important as choosing the right artist and design.
I invested my skill and expertise into creating your tattoo, and now it's your turn to protect that investment. Proper healing makes the difference between a tattoo that looks fresh for decades and one that fades or becomes patchy within months.
Days 1-3: Keep It Clean
Leave bandage on for 2-4 hours after your session.
Wash gently with antibacterial soap 3x daily.
Pat dry with clean paper towel.
Apply thin layer of recommended ointment.
Do NOT rebandage.
Days 4-14: Let It Breathe
Continue washing 2-3x daily.
Switch to fragrance-free lotion when tattoo starts to peel.
Do NOT pick or scratch peeling skin.
Avoid soaking (pools, baths, ocean).
Keep out of direct sunlight.
Weeks 3+: Almost Healed
Continue moisturizing as needed.
Tattoo may appear dull - this is normal.
Avoid sun exposure or use SPF 50+

Getting tattooed by DP was a really great, comfortable experience! I love the tattoo, and he is an excellent professional. Highly recommended! e @santiagoalessandra_

I got two tattoos from DP a few years ago in Brazil, and I'm so glad I did! He has such a light hand, which made the whole experience really comfortable, and he was incredibly attentive from beginning to end He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, was super careful with the details, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the whole process. Both tattoos turned out beautifully and still look amazing years later. He's talented, careful, patient, and genuinely cares about his work. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a great tattoo artist! @ingpalma
