Leave the cling film wrap on for 2 hours

• When you get home take the wrap off and before doing anything clean your hands thoroughly 

• Easiest to have a shower with medium-hot water, warm enough to open your pores for cleaning.

• Use liquid soap from a bottle not a bar of soap, ideally one with as few perfumes and colourings as possible.

• Gently lather over the whole tattoo and rinse until it feels like clean skin.

• Get out the shower and do not touch your regular towel to the tattoo as bacteria and lint will be introduced into the tattoo. 

• Use clean kitchen towel to gentle dab dry the tattoo

• Leave to air dry for 10-15 minutes

• After air dry then clean hands again very well

• (After 2-5 days as instructed) Warm up after care balm (butterluxe or Palmer’s cocoa butter) with a clean finger to make more liquid and dot a very small amount over the tattoo and then massage in gently. Start with a little and if you need to add more just use a different clean finger each time to keep the pot of balm sterile.

• Less is more and little and often with balming your tattoo

• Then leave open to air but keeping it clean and not touching

• Just before bed on the first 1-3 nights rewrap in cling film just over night.

CLEAN LIKE THIS X2 daily

Balm 2-5 times a day - whenever the tattoo has dried out a little
