Welcome to Milk Tattoo's Aftercare

At Milk Tattoo, we care about the longevity and quality of your tattoo. That's why we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure that your new ink stays vibrant and healthy. Our experienced artists have put together this guide to help you through the healing process. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us.

The First Few Days

After getting a tattoo, it is important to keep the area clean and dry. Remove the bandage after a few hours and wash gently with warm water and mild soap. Pat dry with a clean towel and apply a thin layer of ointment or lotion recommended by your tattoo artist. Avoid soaking in water or exposing the area to direct sunlight. Wear loose clothing that covers the tattoo and avoid tight or abrasive fabrics.

Healing Process

During the healing process, your tattoo may scab or peel. It is important not to pick or scratch the area, as this can cause damage and affect the final result. Keep the area moisturized with the recommended lotion or ointment and avoid exposing it to dirt, sweat, or other irritants. If you experience any unusual symptoms such as excessive redness, swelling, or pain, contact your tattoo artist or a medical professional.

Special Attention

Certain areas of the body may require special attention during the healing process. For example, tattoos on the feet may take longer to heal due to constant friction and moisture. Tattoos on the hands may also require extra care as they are exposed to more bacteria and dirt. Your tattoo artist will provide specific instructions based on the location and size of your tattoo. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome.
