Tattoo Aftercare

Congratulations on your new tattoo from Red Tower Tattoos in Brighton! Proper aftercare is crucial for ensuring your tattoo heals beautifully and retains its vibrancy. Follow these steps for optimal healing:

1. Listen to Your Artist

Your artist at Red Tower Tattoos will provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to your tattoo. Follow their advice diligently.

2. Keep it Clean

Wash your tattoo gently with fragrance-free soap and warm water. Pat dry with a clean towel. Do this 2-3 times a day.

3. Moisturise Regularly

Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturiser recommended by your artist. Keep your tattoo hydrated.

4. Protect from Sun

Avoid direct sunlight on your tattoo during the healing process. Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher if sun exposure is unavoidable.

5. Avoid Soaking

Skip swimming, hot tubs, and long showers during the healing period. Prolonged exposure to water can fade your tattoo and increase the risk of infection.

6. Resist Scratching

As tempting as it may be, avoid scratching or picking at your tattoo. This can disrupt the healing process and lead to scarring.

7. Loose Clothing

Wear loose, breathable clothing over your tattoo to prevent friction and irritation during the healing process.

8. Monitor for Infection

Keep an eye out for signs of infection such as excessive redness, swelling, pus, or fever. If you notice any, contact Red Tower Tattoos or a healthcare professional immediately.

9. Follow-Up Appointment

Schedule a follow-up appointment with Red Tower Tattoos for any touch-ups or additional care instructions.
