Caring For Your New Tattoo

    • Leave the tattoo wrapped as directed by your artist (usually 24 hours).

    • Gently remove the wrap and wash your hands first.

    • Wash gently 2–3 times a day with Dr Pickles Antibacterial Foam Wash.

    • After each wash, apply a thin layer of Dr Pickles Tattoo Balm.

    • Use a clean towel every time to avoid contamination.

    • Watch for signs of irritation like redness, excessive heat, or discharge — these may signal infection and require professional advice.

    • Light scabbing is normal — it means the skin is repairing.

    • Continue washing gently and applying balm.

    • Avoid picking or scratching — it can pull out ink and cause scarring.

    • Stay out of direct sun, saunas, and swimming pools.

    • Even when healed, tattoos benefit from daily moisturising.

    • Use Dr Pickles Tattoo Balm regularly to keep skin soft and vibrant.

    • Protect your tattoo from the sun with SPF, avoid chlorine-heavy pools.

    • Dr Pickles Antibacterial Foam Wash can remain part of your daily hygiene routine.
