SW·05 Aftercare
Day by day, healed.
Slide to how many days it's been. Here's what's normal and what to do.
Fresh
It's an open wound for the first few days: a little weeping, redness and swelling is normal.
- Leave the wrap on for the time your artist says
- Wash gently with clean hands and mild unscented soap
- Pat dry, then a thin layer of the aftercare balm
- No swimming, baths or saunas
- No scratching or picking
Peeling and itchy
It flakes like a sunburn and the colour looks cloudy. That's the top layer coming away.
- Keep washing twice a day
- Moisturise thinly when it feels tight
- Loose, clean clothes over it
- Don't pick or peel the flakes
- Still no swimming or sun on it
Settling
The surface has closed but the skin underneath is still healing. It may look a little shiny.
- Moisturise if it's dry
- Cover up or stay in the shade
- Hold off sunscreen until the surface has healed
- No tanning
Healed
The colour has settled. Book a free touch-up within three months if any spot needs it.
- Sunscreen, every time it's out in the sun
- Send us a photo, we'd love to see it

PayingCard or cash
The deposit comes off the price on the day.
Does it hurt?
Yes, a bit. Ribs and feet more than forearms. We'll take breaks whenever you need.
Can I bring my own design?
Bring it as a reference; your artist will redraw it in their style so it works as a tattoo.
Do you do cover-ups?
Isla does, by consult. Bring a photo of the old one.
Can I change my design after the deposit?
Of course, up to a week before. The drawing is part of what the deposit pays for.
