aftercare
here's how to take care of your new tattoo.
Your health and safety are our priority, which is why we recommend seeing a doctor if you're experiencing any issues. Although we ensure that we always use high-quality products, it's not always possible to predict individual reactions, such as allergies to the pigments or materials used.
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 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 you to use sunblock if your tattoos will be to the sun for long periods of time. Please also moisturise 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), it might be a sign that you have sensitive skin. You might 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.
