About Numbing Cream
We do not recommend using numbing cream.
-
Especially during our Tattoo Events, numbing cream is not allowed.
-
If you must use it, you must notify us first.
-
Please understand: numbing cream can make the skin harder to take ink, prevent fine detail work, delay color from showing properly, and may lead to longer procedure times, extended healing, or uneven results.
👉 Do your own research online and prepare carefully before your tattoo day.
After Tattoo Care
-
Wash gently with warm water 1–2 hours after your procedure to clean the tattoo.
-
Pat dry with a clean paper towel (do not rub).
-
Apply a thin layer of Aquaphor or tattoo aftercare ointment.
-
Wrapping is optional – some artists recommend it, but we do not. Your skin needs fresh air to heal.
-
If you must work in environments such as under a car or in a kitchen, it’s not recommended, but if necessary, you may wrap the tattoo. Always re-clean with warm water, pat dry, and reapply ointment every few hours.
Healing Process
-
Keep the tattoo moisturized, lightly cleaned, and padded dry for the next 7–10 days.
-
Shower as normal with warm water, but avoid letting the water spray directly onto the tattoo.
-
Avoid sweating heavily or direct sunlight for at least a few weeks, especially the first week.
-
Avoid heavy alcohol drinking; eat healthy and drink extra water.
Important Notes
-
Good aftercare = good results.
-
If you notice infection, swelling, or allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.
Try to avoid stretching or expanding the tattooed area until the skin has fully healed.
Please remember that the skin needs about 28 days to completely recover.
-
The first 7–10 days are the most important for proper healing.
-
After that, you can gradually return to your normal daily activities.
