AFTERCARE
Luna Moth Tattoo Studio
Congratulations and thank you for choosing Luna Moth for your tattoo.
-
Keep the bandage on for 3-4 days (or as directed by your artist). This protects your fresh tattoo from bacteria and contaminants.
-
Once the bandage is removed, wash the tattoo gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap. Pat it dry with a clean paper towel - avoid rubbing.
-
Apply a thin layer of healing ointment (e.g., Hustle Butter for vegan options, or Aquaphor for non-vegan). Do this 2-3 times daily for the first 7-10 days.
-
No soaking your tattoo for the first 2-3 weeks. Avoid baths, pools, hot tubs, and the ocean. Showers are acceptable, but minimize direct water pressure on the tattoo.
-
Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling. Let your tattoo flake naturally to prevent scarring and ink loss.
-
Protect your tattoo from the sun. Avoid direct sunlight during healing. Once healed, use high-SPF sunscreen to maintain the tattoo’s color and vibrancy.
Healing Time: Surface healing usually takes 2-4 weeks, but continue to care for your tattoo even after it looks healed.
