General education only. Follow the instructions given by your tattoo artist. This page is not medical advice.
Follow your artist’s instructions
Your artist’s instructions for dressing changes, washing, and moisturizing take priority. Different dressings require different care.
Keep it clean
Wash your hands before touching the tattoo. Clean gently as instructed, using a mild fragrance-free cleanser, and pat dry with a clean towel.
Protect healing skin
Avoid picking or scratching. Keep the area away from swimming pools, hot tubs, and direct sun while healing; avoid friction and unnecessary soaking.
When to get medical advice
Seek medical advice promptly for spreading redness, worsening pain or swelling, pus, fever, or red streaks. For severe symptoms, seek urgent care.
