Tattoo Aftercare

We take every care when we tattoo. Keeping your new tattoo infection free is simple but it is your responsibility. Tattoo aftercare advice varies between artists. At Merlins we recommend the following steps.

After at least one hour your new tattoo will need a wash. Remove the wrapping and gently hand-wash your tattoo with warm water and antibacterial soap. Avoid heavily fragranced soap.

  • Keep your new tattoo clean, wash it twice per day
  • Avoid the sunshine for first two weeks
  • Avoid submerging your tattoo in water for the first two weeks (e.g. baths/swimming)
  • No picking or scratching your new tattoo!!!
  • Any questions - give us a call or pop in
