AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow the aftercare advice given to you by the artist to ensure correct healing of your tattoo. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to any member of the Hull Tattoo Studio staff.

  1. Clean your tattoo with warm, clean water using just your hand in a gentle massaging motion.
  2. Pat your tattoo dry with either a clean towel or a paper towel (do not rub it).
  3. Allow it to air dry for about 10 minutes before applying any aftercare product.
  4. Apply a small amount of a fragrance-free, tattoo-safe aftercare ointment and gently massage it into the skin.
  5. Repeat this process twice a day: once in the morning and once at night.

If second skin is used:

  • Keep it on for 24 hours, then return to the shop so we can reapply it.
  • It will remain on for ~7 days; plasma buildup under the film is normal.
  • To remove, gently warm the area to loosen the adhesive, then peel slowly from the edge.

Avoid:

  • Direct sunlight on the fresh tattoo.
  • Soaking (baths, pools, sea) until fully healed.
  • Excess friction, dirt or contaminated environments.

Use a fragrance-free, tattoo-safe aftercare ointment as advised by your artist.
