Thanks for getting tattooed at Sanctuary.  

    Here’s how to take care of your new tattoo and make sure  it heals up properly

2 Hours After Your Tattoo, take off the wrap and wash your tattoo

using the hottest water you can stand with an antibacterial soap. 

Hot water opens your pores and helps remove any blood,

bacteria, or excess ink. Then rinse with cold water to close the pores.

Pat the tattoo dry with a clean towel (don’t rub) 

then apply a small amount of Bepanthen. 

Rewrap the tattoo with cling film. 

Wash, dry, apply Bepanthen, and rewrap. Reapeat this four times 

daily for 5 days. After Day 5 you can stop wrapping. 

Start using moisturiser like cocoa butter to keep the tattoo hydrated. 

Use this for at least 2 weeks. 

Some itching is in your fresh tattoo istotally normal.

Don’t scratch. it can damage the skin and cause scarring.

Showering is fine, but avoid long exposure to water.

No Sauna’s, no swimming, no soaking in the bath.

Keep the tattoo out of the sun and ALWAYS use a high factor suncream to 

keep your tattoo looking tiptop.
