aftercare

How to take care of your new tattoo.

In the case of an infection, please see a doctor. Please understand that it is not reasonably possible for us to determine beforehand if our clients might have an allergic reaction to the pigments or processes used in their tattoo. 

Day 1

  • Four hours after the tattoo session, rinse the area with cool or room-temperature water.
     

Day 2

  • Apply a thin layer of Rosken Skin Repair Cream daily. The cream is available at Watsons, Guardian or Venus.
    Alternatively, Hustle Butter can be used in replacement of Rosken Cream. It is specially formulated for luxurious tattoo aftercare (Kindly inquire with Sylvia Tattoo if this is in stock, it can be reserved before your session. This product is not available in stores )

     

For the Next 2-3 Weeks

  • Keep skin and the tattooed area clean.

  • Wear loose clothing so that healing won't be interrupted. Tight clothing might agitate sensitive tattooed skin.

  • Apply Rosken Skin Repair Cream (or Hustle Butter) to clean skin after showering, before bed, and frequently if you are exposed to cold and/or dry air. 

  • Avoid swimming and sun exposure 

  • The tattoo may scab, flake or peel. Please do not scratch, scrub or soak the area with the tattoo. 

  • Use antibacterial wipes when necessary. 

  • Avoid consumption of raw fish and shellfish while the tattoo is healing to prevent allergic reactions.
     

Beyond the 2-3 Weeks

After the tattoo heals, we would recommend for our clients to use sunblock if they are exposed to sun for long periods of time. Please also moisturize frequently, as it keeps your skin healthy, resulting in better-looking tattoos. 

 

Redness and Itchiness 

If the tattooed area is still a little red and itchy after a few days (but not oozing pus or liquid), you may have sensitive skin. Please do take an antihistamine to relieve the symptoms. In addition, you might also want to apply a cold compress or rinse the area under cool running water. Use mild soap to wash the area gently, and then apply a thin layer of lotion after patting dry.

 

The swelling should subside in a few days.
