At Rock N' Ink, our artists are adamant about ensuring you're able to enjoy your tattoo for years after the initial procedure. This means ensuring you are armed with the knowledge regarding appropriate tattoo protection strategies. For this reason, we will always leave you with a clear understanding of how you should care for your tattoo in the initial weeks following your visit, as well as how you can keep your tattoo looking like new for years to come.
After your tattoo:
- We use a protective film to cover your fresh tattoo
- Leave the protective film on for 24 hours
- Carefully remove the next day
- Gently wash the tattoo and pat it dry
- Apply a tattoo balm/tattoo moisturiser as recommended by your artist
Longer term, the main things to remember are:
- Keep your tattoo protected from the sun to avoid fading
- Moisturise and apply sunscreen as regularly as possible
When you leave our studio, you’ll leave with the knowledge and understanding of how to best look after your fresh tattoo. All first-time tattoo customers receive an aftercare pamphlet to take home should they have any further questions. If you can’t find the answer on the pamphlet, feel free to get in touch with the studio on
